Disney World Hotels Eligible for Early Theme Park Entry

Early theme park entry is one of the newer benefits at Walt Disney World in 2022. Guests staying in select hotels can take advantage of this new offering.

In this article, we’ll look at the eligible hotels for the early theme park entry benefit. All Disney World hotels are included, along with a few off-property options.

What is early theme park entry? This benefit allows guests of specific resorts to enter the theme parks 30 minutes in advance. The extra half hour is available to guests of these resorts daily at every park.

Therefore, if you stay at a resort that offers early entry, you can access a park up to 30 minutes early each morning before it opens to regular guests. While an extra 30 minutes might not seem like a tremendous advantage, it is.

You’ll be able to head straight to popular attractions like Rise of the Resistance at Hollywood Studios or Flight of Passage at Animal Kingdom. Getting at least one of these significant attractions out of the way before the park opens to regular guests puts you way ahead of the crowd.

*A theme park reservation and a valid ticket are required for admission.
