    Can I have guests visit me while I’m stay at a Disney resort. Can my guest also join me for early access to a theme park although they will not be residing with me at the resort?

    Hi there, Whitney. Thanks for bringing us a great question. The Most Magical Place on Earth is better with friends, so let's get you an answer!

    I am happy to report that your pals are welcome to visit you at your Disney Resort Hotel. My planDisney pal Diane W. gave some great tips on how to make this happen in a previous answer that I think you should check out! The most important is that your Guests should have a valid photo ID and provide your name and room number at the hotel's security gate to maintain hotel safety.

    Whitney, while your Guests are welcome to visit you at your Disney Resort Hotel, they won't be able to join you for Early Theme Park Entry unless they are registered guests at a Disney Hotel or one of the participating hotels listed on this page. Cast Members will confirm that each Guest has a valid theme park admission, park reservation, and Resort ID before allowing them access to Early Entry at the parks. I'm sorry if this is not what you hoped to hear, Whitney.

    If you want to extend the magic with your pals, I love a late dining reservation in one of the theme parks. My personal favorite is Be Our Guest in Magic Kingdom Park. If you book a dining reservation close to the park closing, it allows time for crowds to thin out before you finish your meal. This can allow for sweeping evening views of Cinderella Castle and photo opportunities without large crowds. It's not quite the same as Early Entry but gives a special end to a magical day. Some of my favorite Walt Disney World memories are walking out of the parks after they've closed for the evening. Maybe this would be a nice end to a day with friends, Whitney?

    I hope this answers your question. Please let me know if you have any more, as I'd be honored to help you with further planning.

    See ya real soon,
    Melissa
