Howdy Deasiray!
Welcome to planDisney. Just like the White Rabbit, you have a very important date, and you do not want to be late. Let’s go down the rabbit hole to get you an answer on the bedtime to arrive at the parks.
So I always recommend starting your day at the parks as early as possible. This allows you to ride and experience attractions and then return to your resort for a midday break if you would like. Many guests like to do what is called rope dropping. This is where you enter the parks as soon as they open. This is very popular, so I recommend arriving 30-45 minutes before the published opening time to get in line. You can find the
Hours & Events Calendar on the Walt Disney World website or in the
My Disney Experience app to see each park’s opening time for your visit, since they do vary.
Alrighty, so if you are staying at a Walt Disney World Collection Hotel or other select hotels, you get a magical added benefit of Early Park Entry. This is where you get to enter the parks 30 minutes prior to opening for all other guests. This allows you to get a head start on select rides and experiences before everyone else. Another benefit is the use of
Resort Transportation to travel via land, sea, or air to the parks. Transportation starts 1 hour prior to the Early Entry time.
Deasiray, I hope this helps with all of your planning and that you and your family have a magical time visiting Walt Disney World. If you have any further questions, please stop back by, and we’ll be happy to assist you.
See ya real soon,
Robert
