Experience the same legendary detail, service and storytelling found in Walt Disney World® Theme Parks when you book a stay at a Disney Resort hotel. From unique accommodations to distinctive dining options, themed rooms and more, Disney Resort hotels offer Guests a variety of options that exemplify the Disney Difference.

As a Disney Resort Guest, you’ll enjoy:

• Early Theme Park Entry: Stay in the magic at a Disney Resort hotel and enjoy 30 minutes early entry to any Theme Park every day! That means even more time to experience the dazzling Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebration. With early theme park entry, you can enjoy select attractions, shops and dining before regular hours. This benefit is offered on each day of your stay—in any park, subject to capacity. For early Theme Park entry, you’ll need Disney MagicMobile service or a Key to the World Card, as well as valid admission and a Theme park reservation for the same park on the same day.
• Extended Evening Theme Park Hours: When you stay at a Disney Deluxe Resort or Disney Deluxe Villa Resort, you’ll enjoy extended evening hours on select nights in select Theme Parks. And that means even more time to revel in the spectacular Walt Disney World Resort 50th Anniversary celebration. And when you combine that with the early theme park entry benefit available to all Disney Resort hotel Guests, you’ll have maximum time to experience The World’s Most Magical Celebration! For extended evening hours, you’ll need Disney MagicMobile service or a Key to the World Card, as well as valid admission and a Theme Park reservation for the same park on the same day. (Or a ticket or annual pass with the Park Hopper® Option, provided you entered the park where you made your reservation earlier in the day.)
• Close Proximity to the Action: Enjoy the ease and convenience of getting around Walt Disney World Resort with fun transportation options. Zip about on the world-famous monorail, fly high on Disney Skyliner and cruise along serene waterways aboard a water taxi. Some of the Disney Resort hotels are even within walking distance of a Theme Park.
• Enchanting Amenities: Walt Disney World Resort hotels boast one-of-a-kind features that will immerse you in the worlds of classic Disney tales—including themed pools with slides, poolside activities, delicious dining experiences and much more.

​Ever wished you had a Disney friend along with you in the Parks? A virtual friend who could show you the best ways to enjoy favorite attractions? Or favorite Characters? Or even favorite foods? Well, here’s a way that wish can come true!
 
Introducing Disney Genie service and Disney Genie+ service, conveniently built in to the My Disney Experience mobile app. They magically make a Theme Park visit easier and more fun. It’s like having a genie in the palm of your hand.
 
Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned pro, tap into them both to enjoy a whole new host of features that help you get the most out of your visit to Walt Disney World® Resort.
 
Let’s begin with the complimentary Disney Genie service. It creates your best Disney day inspired by your interests and offers new features to make planning easier—including a personalized itinerary creator. From specific attractions, foodie experiences and entertainment, to general interests like Disney princesses, villains, Pixar, Star Wars, thrill rides and more – just tell Disney Genie service what you love and help it suggest fun options tailored to you. You’ll love how it saves you time by seamlessly and smartly mapping out your special day with updates that continue from morning to night—just like a favorite navigation app!
 
Disney Genie service lets you be more spontaneous and enjoy more of the magic thanks to convenient access to up-to-date Park information in the moment. Create your very own personal tip board to see your favorites. It displays current estimated wait times and even forecasts future attraction wait times, helping you predict the best time to visit during the day. Disney Genie service also brings existing planning features together in one place. So you can make dining and experience reservations, mobile order food at many locations, get help from a virtual assistant and more.

You have the fun while Disney Genie service does the work.
 
Want to take your day to the next level? Just purchase Disney Genie+ service with your ticket or vacation package to add even more fun and time-saving benefits. It’s the very best way to get the absolute most out of your visit—so you can spend more time enjoying the magic with family and friends.
 
This service lets you save time waiting in line by selecting arrival windows for Lightning Lane entrances at more than 40 attractions and experiences throughout the Walt Disney World Theme Parks. You can make one selection at a time, throughout the entire day – from classics like Haunted Mansion® to thrill rides like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad® and newer favorites like Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run (experiences subject to limited availability; limit one Lightning Lane selection per experience each day). Selections for Lightning Lane entrances can even be used across multiple Theme Parks—great for those who love the Park Hopper® option. And you can begin to secure your arrival window for Lightning Lane entrances, starting with your first selection, at 7 a.m. on the day of your visit.
 
With your purchase of Disney Genie+ service, you’ll also be able to enjoy new audio experiences that let you discover the Parks in cool new ways—through fascinating fun facts and behind-the-scenes insights. You’ll even have access to Disney PhotoPass® camera lenses for your mobile device. Explore imaginative augmented reality effects and more to make your Park memories even more interactive and fun.
 
Also introducing an “a la carte” option to purchase individual Lightning Lane entrance access for some of the most popular attractions. Buy it from your mobile device for a participating attraction and select an arrival window for that day. It’s available to Disney Resort Guests and Guests of Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels and Shades of Green at 7 a.m. each morning and all other Guests at regular Park open.
 
This “a la carte" option lets you individually purchase a time to arrive using the Lightning Lane entrance at up to two highly demanded attractions each day—like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom® Park and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at EPCOT® (subject to limited availability; attractions not included with Disney Genie+). Pricing will vary by date and attraction.

Attractions will continue to offer a traditional standby queue (or, from time to time, a virtual queue may be used at select attractions instead of the standby queue).
 
Live in the moment. Enjoy the most of the magic. And have your best Disney Theme Park day ever.
