June has arrived, and with it comes the start of summer vacation season at Walt Disney World!

If you’re planning a visit to the “Most Magical Place on Earth” this month, there are a slew of perks and offers you NEED to take advantage of to make the most of your time at Disney World.

Early Entry

Guests staying at Walt Disney World resort hotels have access to Early Entry, a 30-minute period where they can enter each of Walt Disney World’s theme parks before their 9:00 AM opening every day of their stay (including check-in and check-out days), so they have a chance to head to select in-demand attractions a half an hour before.
