Hey there, Dan! Welcome to planDisney!
I absolutely adore heading down to
Walt Disney World Resort at the time of year that you're planning to visit! Not only is it an escape from the snowy weather we're bound to have here in the northeast it's also the week of my wedding anniversary! A visit during this time is extra special to me because my husband and I started our "Happily Ever After" right at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
I see that right now
Theme Park operating hours have been released through most of the month of August 2022. In the past, we've seen that Theme Park operating hours tend to be released between 60-75 days ahead of time. This doesn't have to mean that you need to wait to make your
Theme Park Reservations though! You and your party can certainly start ironing out your daily itinerary and making those Reservations because you'll find that you can change them in the future as long as there is availability. Currently, February and March are wide open for availability!
You're right that all four of the Theme Parks open early! If you and your party are staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel you'll find that you're entitled to some amazing benefits! One of these benefits is Early Theme Park Entry. With
Early Theme Park Entry you and your friends and family are able to enter each Theme Park 30 minutes early each day! This is my absolute favorite time to "hit the ground running" as you can get so much accomplished while the attraction wait times and crowds are low!
Think about jumping in line for
Space Mountain or Peter Pan's Flight, two attractions that tend to see longer wait times as the day goes on. Even if you're not usually an early riser it's fun to jump up early and beat the crowds! Once we're wiped from our morning we always head back to our Resort for a refreshing swim in the pool and maybe even a nap before heading out at night for fireworks. There's no better way to end a magical day than watching
Disney Enchantment!
Enjoy every moment!
