Michael,
Thanks for sending along your question to planDisney!
Where Disney used to have Extra Magic Hours, where one park would open early for Disney Resort Guests, or stay open later than park closing, that program is no longer active. What they have now is a far more convenient and flexible program!
With the new
Early Theme Park Entry program, Disney resort hotel guests can get into any of the four parks, any day, 30 minutes prior to the posted opening! You no longer have to wonder what park to visit on what day based on which park would be open early, which park would be open late, or which park had no extra hours for that given day. I have found it made our itinerary planning as a family far more convenient!
BONUS TIPDon't forget, you still need to have your theme park reservation set via the
Disney Park Pass System beforehand. I checked July and August, and all four parks seem to be available most days, at the time of this answer. But it is always good to lock down your park of the day sooner, rather than later!
I hope that this helps, and that you will write us back with more questions.
Have a Magical Vacation!
Doug
