    Hello - If I'm staying at the WaldorfAstoria (Hilton) resort and it says it's an "Official Disney Hotel" do I get early entry to parks

    Life is a highway, Karon! And boy, do I wish I were going your way! Only ONE MORE SLEEP until your time at the Most Magical Place on Earth. I'll be quick like Lightning McQueen so you can set your alarm clock and get ready for an early morning tomorrow.

    Focus. Speed. I am speed. Ka-Chow!

    Early Theme Park Entry gives Guests at Disney Resorts Collection and other select hotels access to the parks a half hour before the regular operating hours. Your resort, Waldorf Astoria Orlando, is included among the hotels offering this benefit. 

    On June 10, Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park opens at 7:30 a.m. for Early Entry. Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios all open at 8:30 a.m. for Early Entry.

    The parking lots typically welcome Guests about 45 minutes to an hour before the parks open. Have you heard about the "Car Locator" feature on the My Disney Experience app? Even if you don't have Dory's short-term remembery loss, it can be a hero at the end of your day.

    Karon, I hope this helps put a little speed in your step and magic in your trip. If you have any other questions, consider planDisney the perfect stop on your Disney vacation journey!

    See 'Ya Real Soon!
