Hey, howdy, hey, Adrian and welcome to planDisney. Ah, the
Walt Disney World Swan and
Dolphin Hotels are so iconic. From my high school Walt Disney World trip, I remember these hotels as vividly as the A-frame building of Disney's Contemporary Resort and the tropical lobby of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
Walt Disney World Resort has re-branded Extra Magic Hours. They are now known as
Early Theme Park Entry and
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. Guests of Walt Disney World Dolphin, Swan, and
Swan Reserve hotels are invited to participate in Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. Of note, all guests of Walt Disney World Resort Hotels and other select hotels may participate in Early Theme Park Entry giving an additional 30 minutes of magic while only Deluxe, Deluxe Villa, and a few of the other select hotels may participate in the 120 minutes of Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. You must have a valid theme park ticket and
Theme Park Reservation to attend both offers.
planDisney Pro Tip: October at Magic Kingdom Park means
Mickeys Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. During the party, my favorite parade, Mickey's Boo-To-You Halloween Parade takes place. I recommend you get a sweet treat 30 minutes before the parade and stand in front of
The Hall of Presidents. The Headless Horseman will ride down Frontierland and stop at this location for the most perfect pictures.
Adrian, please
reach out to me directly if you have follow-up questions about this or any other Disney vacation.
Enjoy making many Magical Memories.
