Angela,
Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!
My family loves the
Early Theme Park Entry perk that you get when staying at a Walt Disney World resort! We used to try to plan our days out based on the old Extra Magic Hours, but now we can enjoy this extra time at any of the parks on any given day. We now plan out our park days based on what we want to do, and in what order!
To answer your question, you can use the Early Theme Park Entry on both your check-in and check-out dates! Do be sure to have used the
Online Check-In feature of
My Disney Experience, so that your reservation is all in order, but by all means, go early and get some of those extra rides in!
BONUS TIP
My daughters have made
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa their home in the magic. My wife loves it too, and our favorite new addition is the
Enchanted Rose. If your schedule allows, enjoy some of their delicious small plates and creative cocktails. We always do!
Write me back if you have any follow-up questions.
Have a Magical Vacation!
Doug
