Change is something that has become synonymous with Disney World over the years and more particularly since the pandemic. The changes with FastPasses+, parades, and extra magic hours had some people wondering if a trip to Disney World during this time was worth it.

The castle is so pretty in the morning!

Earlier this year Disney announced that “Early Theme Park Entry” would be replacing Extra Magic Hours at Disney World on October 1st. If you are unfamiliar with Extra Magic Hours, they were first implemented to allow guests staying at a Disney Hotel to either gain early access or stay later in the theme parks. “Early Theme Park Entry” allows guests to enter any of the parks 30 minutes early to get a head start on their day in the parks. Since the announcement of Early Theme Park Entry we have all been wondering which Disney Hotels this new benefit would be given at. Well, today, Disney released the ENTIRE LIST of participating hotels.

This list includes everything from Disney Resort Hotels all the way to the Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels and more! The list starts out with the Disney World Value Hotels and Campsites.

  • Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort
  • Disney’s All-Star Music Resort
  • Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort
  • Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
  • Disney’s Pop Century Resort

We’ve already seen a list of who is eligible for Extended Evening Hours, but now we know who is eligible for Early Theme Park Entry, too! A big thing to note here is that Swan and Dolphin Hotel is NOT included in this list.

While 30 minutes may not seem like a huge chunk of time, trust us it can TOTALLY pay off. Being able to get into the park pre-crowds will allow you to knock out a couple of fan-favorite rides and take the rest of your day to enjoy the scenery or maybe just hop on over to ‘Ohana to get some noodles!
