Hey there, Alicia! Thanks for stopping by planDisney!
Your Walt Disney World vacation is just a few short weeks away [cue excited screaming], and it looks like you’ll be arriving just in time to catch the end of the
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival! With its vibrant gardens and topiaries, special food offerings, and the Garden Rocks concert series, you won’t want to miss this spectacular celebration of spring.
I’m happy to report that Walt Disney World offers
Early Entry at all four theme parks to guests staying at Disney Resort hotels and other select hotels. This special perk allows guests to enjoy select attractions 30 minutes before official park opening on each day of their stay, including check-in and check-out days. The list of participating hotels and available attractions (availability is subject to change) can be found
here. Early Entry hours vary by park and date, so I would suggest looking at the
Hours and Events Calendar ahead of your visit.
My family loves taking advantage of Early Entry since it allows us to enjoy attractions with lower wait times and do more throughout the day. Here are some of the attractions we prioritize during Early Entry.
Magic Kingdom
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
- Peter Pan
- Space Mountain
Hollywood Studios
- Slinky Dog Dash
- Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run
- Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
EPCOT
- Test Track (currently closed for reimagining)
- Frozen Ever After
- Remy's Ratatouille Adventure
Animal Kingdom
- Avatar Flight of Passage
