Hi there, Matthew, and welcome to planDisney! I'm thrilled you're here with this great question today! You must be getting so excited about your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
Matthew, I have to say that one of my favorite benefits of staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel is the ability to head to the Disney Theme Parks for
Early Theme Park Entry each morning. Currently, Disney Resorts Collection Guests are allowed to enter the parks 30 minutes ahead of the posted opening time. This makes a big difference in allowing you to get a head start on your favorite attractions and experiences! For my family, taking advantage of the cooler morning weather allows us to head back to our Resort and spend time at the pool in the afternoons. I also love the complimentary Walt Disney World Resort transportation, convenient location, and the ability to make
Advance Dining Reservations 60 days before my visit begins, for up to ten days of my vacation!
From the day you check in, until the day you check out of your Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you'll enjoy the benefit of Early Theme Park Entry. When you move to your next destination that is not on Walt Disney World Resort property, you will not have that benefit, though your
Theme Park Tickets won't change.
Matthew, if you'd like any recommendations on where to find amazing meals and snacks during your vacation, I'd love to help! I firmly believe that one of the best-kept secrets is a dinner at
Sebastian's Bistro (shh!). If you're heading to
Magic Kingdom Park this summer, be sure to check out the newly re-imagined
Tiana's Bayou Adventure! My Panelist pals and I are super excited about this amazing attraction! Please stop back by planDisney with any other vacation planning questions you have!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
