    Is it possible to activate tickets bought with a hotel package before the date I check-in? If I arrive before my hotel reservation is it possible to get into the parks?

    Hi Olivia!

    When you plan your magical Walt Disney World Resort getaway with a Vacation Package that includes both your stay at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel and Theme Park Tickets, your tickets will become available for use starting from the day you officially check in at your hotel. This means you can start enjoying the parks right away without needing to wait until your room is ready on your arrival day.

    If you're arriving before the day that your hotel reservation begins, please note that you won't be able to activate your tickets in advance. Disney ensures that tickets are activated on your check-in date at the hotel, aligning perfectly with the start of your magical stay.

    To make your arrival seamless, we recommend taking advantage of Disney's convenient online check-in and Direct-to-Room Service. These services allow you to minimize wait times and skip the front desk at your Resort hotel.

    Wishing you an unforgettable Disney experience filled with pixie dust and wonderful memories!
