Just as a reminder, Early Theme Park Entry has been extended from 30 minutes to 60 minutes now through January 3rd. This means that on Sunday and Monday next week, guests at Disney World Resort hotels can enter any of the four parks one hour prior to the posted opening time. Starting on January 4th, this perk goes back to its standard thirty-minute early access.
