Welcome back to planDisney, Sara!
We're excited to hear from you again, and even more thrilled to see that you have an upcoming trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth this year!
You're smart to be wanting to utilize your
Early Entry benefit for staying at a hotel on Disney property. While it would be wonderful to be able to share your benefit with linked family/friend members through your account, only the people actually staying at Pop Century for the trip will be able to access the parks for Early Entry. The Cast Members scanning tickets at the front of the theme parks for early entry will be able to distinguish resort guests and non-resort guests.
Now, your friends will be able to enter the park earlier than the posted opening time; however, they will be held in waiting areas away from the attractions that will open when the park officially starts normal operating hours. You and your party will catch up with each other very soon after park opening, so you won't miss much magical time together!
While you're visiting Pop Century, make sure you utilize your access to Hollywood Studios and EPCOT via the
Skyliner! This is my favorite way to get transported at Disney World! You may even want to consider making a reservation for
Topolino's Terrace at Riviera! I love their breakfast... and so would you!
We love hearing from you at planDisney, Sara! If you have additional questions, you know where to find us!
See ya real soon!
