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.

Cause they’re trying to sell it to you for $28 an hour later?

It’s a matter of budgeting. As I said, they’ve opened it for EE in the past.

Is there any justification for TRON not being open for Early Entry, or is it strictly a cost cutting measure? For Tiana’s early closure and not offering it for Extended Evening Hours, they can at least pretend they’re doing maintenance on it

It has already operated during EE during peak weeks. Experienced it myself.

A random woman on TikTok claims the new approach includes Fantasyland. She didn't have video proof so not quite verifiable

I’d think it’s like a 99% chance

Could this be in anticipation of adding Tron to early entry?
