Welcome to planDisney, James! Thanks so much for sending us a question. Oh my goodness! You're arriving at
The Most Magical Place on Earth in less than two weeks!
I'm so happy to hear that you already know about one of the magical benefits you can enjoy as a guest at the
Walt Disney World Swan Hotel! As a Disney Resort Hotel guest, you can enter the theme parks 30 minutes early every day of your stay. When taking advantage of this at
EPCOT, you can enter through the International Gateway entrance. I just returned from a Walt Disney World Resort vacation this past week and I want to mention that while attractions are available, the
Outdoor Kitchens around World Showcase at the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival do not open until 10:30 a.m.
Another benefit I want to make sure you are aware of is that as a
Deluxe Resort Hotel guest, you can also enjoy
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours on select nights at select theme parks! When you aren't at the theme parks, be sure to spend some time relaxing by one of the many
pools at the resort. Our family especially loves the Grotto Pool!
I'm so excited for you to visit during
The World's Most Magical Celebration! Wishing you a wonderful vacation filled with hours of fun, food, and family time! Please visit us again at
planDisney in the future. We're always happy to help!
Smiles,
Lisa
