Hello Jamie! I hardly recognized you behind those movie-star sunglasses! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with this glamorous question about
Disney's Hollywood Studios. It's my son's favorite theme park! You arrive at
Walt Disney World Resort soon, so lights, camera, action!
I double-checked with an award-winning Cast Member who confirmed that guests staying at Disney Resort hotels could take advantage of
Early Theme Park Entry on their check-in day. My tip is to complete
Online Check-In service before you arrive, especially if you booked a vacation package. Checking in will help ensure your resort reservation and theme park tickets are linked to the same account. Bonus tip: You can use Early Theme Park Entry on the day you check out, too!
I notice you're a Florida resident; so am I! Isn't it magical to have Mickey Mouse as our neighbor? Remember that you might need to activate any resident-exclusive tickets at
Guest Relations. Bring your
proof of residency, just in case!
Even the stars get into the Halloween spirit this time of year, Jamie. While availability is limited,
Minnie's Halloween Dine is a fabulously frightful buffet where you'll meet your favorite characters in their not-so-scary costumes. I recommend keeping an eye open for availability on your app and asking at the restaurant when you arrive at the park. You never know when a last-minute opening will drop.
Jamie, I hope your visit is full of old Hollywood glitz! Please stop by
planDisney anytime.
Magic awaits,
Elaine
