Hi Jeanine,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you so much for asking us a question, my fellow Canadian!
I just love the comfort and convenience of staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, and I especially love the amenities and theming that you’ll find at a
Deluxe Resort Hotel. From the tropical getaway of
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, to the seaside charm of
Disney’s Beach Club Resort, there truly is something for everyone in these exceptional resorts. Plus, they typically tend to have excellent transportation options for heading to the Theme Parks. These hotels really are worth the splurge, budget permitting.
For the moment, Guests staying in a Deluxe Resort don’t get an early booking window for things such as
Disney Dining reservations or other
Enchanting Extras, unless they’re staying in a
Club-Level (Concierge-level) room.
Deluxe Resort Guests do, however, have at least one exclusive benefit:
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours which allows them to enjoy more hours of fun in select Theme Parks. This will also give you an opportunity to join the virtual queue for
TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom Park or
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT, depending on which park is open for those extended hours. It really is a great perk, one that I’ve used almost every time I’ve stayed in a Deluxe Resort during the past year.
I hope my answer helps you plan the perfect place to stay during your upcoming Disney Parks vacation. Please don’t hesitate to come back and see us if you have any other questions.
Have a Magical Day,
Lynne
