Hi Stephen,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for sending us your question!
I was happy to hear of the new Early Theme Park Entry coming to Walt Disney World Resort later this year as part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration, any extra time in a Theme Park is great news. This perk will give Walt Disney World Resort Guests a jump start on their day, being able to enter any of the four Theme Parks 30 minutes prior to opening every morning. While this is exciting news, there is no official word on when the Early Theme Park Entry will begin, or which Walt Disney World Resort Hotels will be included as of yet. After verifying with a Cast Member, she reassured me that news regarding Early Theme Park Entry as well as which Resort Hotels will be included will be shared with guests at a later date. I would recommend checking the
Disney Parks Blog for updates, as new experiences and updates are typically shared regularly. The
Official Walt Disney World Website will also share any new updates or experiences as they become available.
It is also important to note that guests will still require a valid
Theme Park Ticket as well as a
Theme Park Reservation using the Disney Park Pass System to enter any of the Theme Parks. Once you have purchased your Theme Park Tickets, simply login to
My Disney Experience. In the My Plans Section, click on Park Reservations and follow the prompts to reserve your Park Passes for your party.
I wish I had more information, Stephen, hopefully we will hEAR something soon! Please let us know if we you have any other questions, we are always happy to help.
