Early Access for Disney Resort Hotel Guests
As part of its commitment to creating an exceptional experience for Disney Resort hotel guests, Walt Disney World is introducing a special perk this summer. Characters will be out in the parks earlier than usual, exclusively for hotel guests, during the daily early theme park entry period. This will give guests the opportunity to experience character meet-and-greets in a more intimate and less crowded setting, allowing for special moments with beloved Disney characters before the parks officially open to the general public.
This early access is part of Disney’s ongoing efforts to provide an enhanced guest experience, particularly for those staying at Disney Resort hotels. Families will be able to enjoy their favorite characters up close and personal without the usual wait times, making it a perfect way to start a day at the parks.
A Summer Full of Magical Moments
These limited-time experiences promise to add an extra layer of excitement to a Walt Disney World vacation this summer. With new attractions, character experiences, and exclusive access for Disney Resort hotel guests, there has never been a better time for families to visit the resort. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned Disney fan, the summer of 2025 is shaping up to be one for the books, filled with memories that will last a lifetime.
