Hey there, hi there Lauren!
It sounds like you have a relatively quick trip planned and are trying to soak up as much magic as possible during your time at Walt Disney World. You've made a great choice by staying at
Disney's Beach Club Resort! It is probably my favorite place to stay. You're going to love being able to easily walk or take a boat to
EPCOT and
Disney's Hollywood Studios. Plus, you have the added excitement of being on
Disney's BoardWalk which really comes to life in the evenings and is perfect for a morning jog if you are looking to get some extra steps in (although your feet will probably get plenty of mileage).
You'll be happy to know you'll be able to take advantage of
Early Entry on both your check-in day and your check-out day. You'll just want to make sure you 1) have a
park reservation (which it sounds like you already do) and 2) make sure your resort reservation is linked to your
My Disney Experience app on your mobile device. You may be asked to show that reservation at the gate. Also, be sure to check the attractions that are open during Early Entry in advance. Not every ride begins operating early; you don't want to race to
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad only to find out it doesn't open until Magic Kingdom officially opens.
Hope this helps. Have a magical vacation!
Diane
