Hello there, Shannon!
A warm welcome back to planDisney. We're so glad you've decided to return with another excellent
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question! In just a few days, you'll be arriving at The Most Magical Place on Earth. As you prepare for your enchanting escape, you've come to the right place for the most up-to-date information. Here at planDisney, we're here to help you get ready for your exciting getaway!
Shannon, I can understand why you had questions about theme park parking for Guests staying at the
Walt Disney World Swan Hotel. While I wasn't able to locate these details specifically on the Walt Disney World Resort website, the hotel's website does list complimentary standard theme park parking as a Guest benefit. I called the hotel to confirm what credentials would be accepted by theme park parking attendants and was notified that Guests of the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel
must present a room key (or voucher, if their room isn't quite ready) to take advantage of the complimentary parking benefit. For that reason, I recommend making a pit stop at the hotel before heading out on safari at
Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park!
As a Guest of the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, you'll also have the opportunity to experience
early theme park entry and extended evening hours, Shannon. These special benefits allow Guests of select resorts to maximize their time in the theme parks and minimize their time in standby queues! I encourage you to take a peek at the
Hours & Events Calendar ahead of your visit to plan your perfect Disney day and allow yourself ample time to arrive and park at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park. Keep in mind, Shannon, that not all attractions are available during early theme park entry.
Shannon, I hope you've found this information useful as you finalize your fabulous vacation plans. I wish you an incredible stay at the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel and a trip filled with magical memories! If you have any additional planning questions, you're always welcome to revisit us at
planDisney. We're all ears!
See ya real soon,
Lauren
