Welcome to planDisney, Mary!
Oh, you are going to absolutely love your stay at the
Walt Disney World Swan Hotel! Not only is the resort beautiful, but its location and the views are outstanding. I'm so excited for you!
While your Annual Pass can be stored in your digital wallet, you can also be sure it's linked in your
My Disney Experience app. There, you should see it under My Tickets & Passes. Either location will get you into the parks. For Early Entry and Extended Evening access, you just need one additional step.
I called the Swan on your behalf and was assured that all you need to do to enjoy those
select hotel benefits is link your reservation in the
My Disney Experience app. So, when you want to get a jump on helping the
Guardians of the Galaxy before
EPCOT opens for other guests, Cast Members will be able to tap you in during
Early Theme Park Entry. While we love the ease of early entry, another plus is that we're exiting our first adventure--and likely walking onto the second--before most other park guests have even entered the gate. It's a game-changer!
The same will happen when you enjoy
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. You'll use that same method to remain in the park while other park goers exit. Take advantage of the lower crowds and return to some park favorites or linger longer to enjoy a new one. It's a great way to cap off the perfect park day.
The additional hours make your touring day so much better--and at the Swan, you are so close to the magic of not just one but two parks! From the Swan, you can easily walk to EPCOT's International Gateway entrance as well as the entrance to the
Disney Skyliner which will whisk you away to
Disney's Hollywood Studios. Prefer a
water taxi? Disney's FriendShip Boats can take you to both parks. Looking for a leisurely stroll? There's a flat, paved, easy walkway from
Disney's Boardwalk that goes right up to Disney's Hollywood Studios. We've done them all and loved them all!
Honestly, you've chosen a great place to call home while you visit The Most Magical Place on Earth, Mary. As you put together your travel plans, be sure to send additional questions our way. We love to help!
