Hello Robert, and welcome to planDisney!
The magic thread that weaves all your plans and reservations together is your
My Disney Experience account. Once you have linked your theme park tickets to your account, and have also linked your hotel reservation, everything will work seamlessly together. You should have received a hotel confirmation number for the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace that you can
link to your account. I would check the confirmation information from your travel service to locate your hotel confirmation number. Guests staying at
Disney Springs Area Hotels, including the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace, are eligible for
early theme park entry. I highly recommend taking advantage of this benefit -- it helps you get a jump on your day by experiencing a must-do attraction first thing.
Guests with a stay at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel (those owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company) are eligible for complimentary theme park
parking. Disney Springs Area Hotels do not qualify for this benefit.
I do hope you have the opportunity during your stay to visit the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. I love strolling through World Showcase sampling all the wonderful dishes available at the
outdoor kitchens. If you have any additional questions, please come see us at planDisney again. Enjoy your stay!
