The Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando Lake Buena Vista was just added to Disney’s official list of resorts included in early theme park entry!
Select resort guests can enter the parks EARLY!

Currently, the list of hotels included in early theme park entry features all official Disney World resorts, plus a few good neighbor hotels.

We stayed at the Howard Johnson in 1979. We also stayed at the Grosvenor, not sure of the year. It was the overflow for Shades of Green. Both have now been renamed.
This was the BW so it had already been on the list in the past.
We have booked this hotel for our Christmas trip. Does this announcement also mean we will also be able to make our Lightning Lane and IAS selections in Genie+ at 7am?
Thank you, DFB, for staying on top of all these changes. We appreciate it.
How about allowing early park entry for ANYONE staying at a Disney Hotel?
Not just thr filthy rich.
Hi Ted! Yes, because the Drury Plaza is a “Good Neighbor” hotel, you will be able to make those selections at 7am.
