Disney World Removes Attraction from Early Entry

You may want to rethink your Early Entry strategy for your next Walt Disney World vacation. What do you think about this change?

Disney Early Entry

It is important to note that the posted park times may not be the actual park times. Guests staying at Disney World Resorts can enter all four theme parks 30 minutes earlier than the official park opening.

First introduced in 2021, Early Theme Park Entry allows guests staying at Walt Disney World Resorts to enter all 4 Theme Parks 30 minutes early. Originally, all other guests were held at the park entrance.

Early Entry has changed a bit over the years. Now all guests can enter the Parks at the same time, but non-resort guests are held at select stop points.

Disney Parks reserves the right to change operational hours as needed and without notice. Our Kenny the Pirate writing crew continues to share upcoming closures with you.

At times, this can mean attraction closures, canceled entertainment, and even select locations of the Disney Parks blocked for guests.

One popular attraction arrived inside Walt Disney Presents at Disney's Hollywood Studios. This display features three of the costumes worn by Taylor Swift during the Eras Tour (Taylor's Version). This coincides with The Eras Tour - The Final Show, now streaming on Disney+.

Due to the overwhelming popularity of this Taylor Swift attraction, Walt Disney Presents opened with Early Entry. Today, Walt Disney Presents is removed from Early Entry.

Walt Disney Presents now removed from Early Entry.

This was a BIG benefit for Walt Disney World Resort guests hoping to view this attraction. Please note that this attraction will be leaving soon, and wait times will be increased with the removal of Walt Disney Presents from Early Entry.

Walt Disney Presents still features the fun holiday overlay, although Santa has since returned to the North Pole. Starting soon, live-action Ariel will begin greeting guests here once again.
