Hi Stacie! Welcome to planDisney!
Even though the fall is upon us I bet you're already looking forward to the sweet sights, smells and sounds of spring so that you can head down to
Walt Disney World Resort for your vacation! My family and I have a spring trip planned as well and over here my kids are already getting excited about their first time saving the galaxy on
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. If you haven't tried this new attraction out yet I would definitely recommend it as a one-of-a-kind fast-flying adventure!
Whether you're planning to stay in one of the more than 25
Disney Resorts Collection hotels, the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, Dolphin Hotel, Swan Reserve, Shades of Green on Walt Disney World Resort, or one of the
Good Neighbor hotels of Walt Disney World you'll be close to the magic of the Theme Parks, Water Parks and shopping, dining and entertainment district of Disney Springs. Different Resorts offer different benefits and I'd be happy to help you decide which is the perfect Resort for you and your party!
Depending on which of these Resorts you choose to stay you may or may not receive the same benefits as those Guests staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel. Guests of Disney Resorts, the Walt Disney World Swan, Dolphin, Swan Reserve and Shades of Green are all able to enter each Park 30 minutes early each day with
Early Theme Park Entry. Guests of these select Resorts are also able to make
Individual Lightning Lane Reservations at 7 a.m. for certain attractions within the Parks. All other Guests, regardless of where they are staying, are welcome to make their first Lightning Lane selections with
Disney Genie+ Service at 7 a.m. and their Individual Lightning Lane selections at the official Park opening time.
If your Resort allows for Early Theme Park Entry I would highly suggest trying to get to the Parks before "rope drop"! I've found that entering the Parks early makes it easy to just walk on to some of the most popular attractions and rides with little to no wait! Enjoy every moment of your trip!
