Hi there, Kristen! Welcome to planDisney! I'm so happy that you've stopped by with such a great vacation planning question.
I LOVE planning Walt Disney World Resort vacations, and choosing the
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel that will be the setting for our next magical adventure is my favorite part! There is a seemingly endless variety of themes, room types, locations, and amenities. I am on a quest to try them all, and there are only two Resorts I haven't stayed in yet. So, you have come to the right place, and I am happy to answer your Resort question today, Kristen.
While there are no specific Disney Resorts that include theme park tickets, you
can book a room-and-ticket vacation package, and at this time, receive
Magical Extras that can include discounts on dining, activities, and entertainment. I would also recommend always keeping an eye on the
Special Offers, Deals & Discounts page on the Walt Disney World website. While theme park tickets are not necessarily included, you can get some
really great savings!
Once your theme park tickets have been purchased and linked, don't forget to make your
Theme Park Pass reservations! Right now, all Guests require these Disney Park Passes to enter the theme parks, so, this is a planning step that you definitely don't want to skip!
Some Resorts
do get special benefits, Kristen! While offers and benefits are always subject to change, at this time, all Disney Resort Hotel Guests can take advantage of
Early Theme Park Entry. You can get into the theme parks 30 minutes early to start enjoying your favorite attractions before the crowds and heat arrive. Also, right now, if you stay in a Disney Deluxe Resort or Deluxe Villa Resort, you can enjoy
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours, where you can stay in Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT (on select days) two hours later than everyone else to ride your favorite attractions again and again. Just check the website for participating Resorts and schedules. This is one of my favorite perks, and I hope you love it, too!
Kristen, I hope this was helpful! Happy planning, friend! I will be wishing upon a star that you have the most magical and memorable Disney vacation. Please stop by any time with any vacation planning questions. You've got a friend in me!
I hope to see ya real soon,
Mandy
