Welcome back, Kelly! You're becoming a planDisney regular.
I love how you're planning your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort trip. You're making sure that you can maximize the magic! Taking advantage of
Early Theme Park Entry is a great way to do that. I love how you can take advantage of this benefit on both the day you check in and the day you check out of your Disney Resort. That's like an extra sprinkle of pixie dust!
Kelly, on the day of your visit, check into your hotel through the
My Disney Experience Mobile App first thing that morning. You'll then get a notification when your room is ready. In the meantime, you can make your way to Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. The parking lot opens around an hour or so before theme park opening. Therefore, you should have no problem parking your car, getting through the entrance gates, and enjoying Early Theme Park Entry.
The question is, what attraction are you going to go to first? It's got to be
Avatar: Flight of Passage, right? This is one of my favorite rides at Walt Disney World Resort. Even the line (which is so beautiful and immersive) is part of the attraction for me.
Have a wonderful time, Kelly. I'm so glad you allowed us to play a small part in your next Disney adventure. See ya real soon!
Mike
