Disney has added two more offsite hotels to the list of hotels eligible for Early Morning Hours at their theme parks in Walt Disney World through 2024.

Guests staying at Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek and Waldorf Astoria Orlando will now be able to enter the parks 30 minutes before regular opening as part of Early Entry through 2024.

B Resort & Spa Lake Buena Vista, and Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando Lake Buena Vista are currently only offering Early Entry through 2023. However, with negotiations underway between the operators and Disney, they will likely be extended through 2024.

    Please correct me if it's not the plan but I would not be shocked if July 3-5th were soft Opens. Spectro & MSEP were always later in the Night on July 3-4th...

    Yes, we know! 7pm-12am! LOL!

    Have you heard the good news about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?!?!

    I don't suppose there's any chance they actually keep MK open until Midnight once Starlight begins? I mean, I'll take 11pm, but it would be great to get on some rides during that last hour while the parade is going. I don't know when MK was last open until 12am, but I don't think it ever was during my visits.

    I assume they will want a few full run-throughs after the park closes before it officially starts. It’s been so long since a new parade, I have no idea if there are usually previews for the “usual” groups, or just for CMs. Maybe some of our CM members will be able to answer that.

    Because it emptied out everyday well before that and they’re not in the business to pay to keep things open?

    jrhwdw3 days ago

    I've been wondering, If we're not expecting Starlight till after the 4th why move July 2nd to AK??? Might MK be planning some sort of Preview on the 2nd?

    DHS would be far more preferable

    Well expect no MK probably until January. MK usually goes on hiatus when the Halloween and Christmas parties start.

    I'm quite disappointed at this news, actually. I (wrongly) assumed things would go back to the way they were back when Spectro & MSEP were there. They had EMH when those parades were there. And there's barely anything to do at Animal Kingdom.

    Yea I’m wondering if AK will be the Wednesday EEH for rest of summer or if it would flip back to MK later in July.

    jrhwdw4 days ago

    Looking to the Future, are these EEH Changes just a Debut Season Thing? I'm about 95% sure MK had EMH with Spectro and MSEP.

    Must not have kids under 6 right now haha. We couldn't even make it to 8pm fireworks the last few times we went.

    I'm good with That! :)
