Hi, Heather. Welcome to planDisney.
How exciting that you’re planning a summer visit to Walt Disney World Resort. Even a short trip can be filled with lifelong memories! Whether you’re racing through space at
Magic Kingdom Park, taking a trip around the world at
EPCOT, joining the Resistance at
Disney's Hollywood Studios, or riding a banshee at
Disney's Animal Kingdom, there’s so much magic waiting for you!
If you stay at a Good Neighbor Hotel, you’ll enjoy comfortable accommodations and convenient access to the parks, but some Disney Resort hotel perks are reserved for a select group of hotels. For example, Early Theme Park Entry is available to Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels and
a few select others listed on the Walt Disney World website. For
Lightning Lane Single or Multi Pass: those staying at a Good Neighbor Hotel can begin making selections three days before their park visit, whilst Disney Resort hotel Guests and those staying at Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel, Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, Walt Disney World Swan Reserve, and Shades of Green Resort can begin seven days before their check-in date.
Here’s a helpful tip: If you're staying at a Good Neighbor Hotel, set a reminder to book your Lightning Lane selections exactly three days before your park day, right at 7:00 AM (ET). Some attractions fill up quickly, and grabbing your spots early can make a big difference in your day.
Thanks for stopping by planDisney, Heather. Happy planning!
Mike
