Disney Tips Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation
In recent weeks, many Disney fans have seen multiple articles about how the company and CEO Bob Iger are concerned about the number of guests who said they will not return to the theme parks in the near future. A large percentage of those people said that their primary reason for not coming back to Disney was that the cost was just too high.
Despite guests’ honest feedback, Disney has continued to up the price of nearly everything, including ticket prices and its controversial Lightning Lane passes.

Of course, guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel can get into the theme parks half an hour before the official opening. It is important to note that only select rides and attractions will be open during that time. There will also only be select shopping and dining locations open during early morning hours as well.
These are not the only extended hours recently announced by Disney. The Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios also have extended evening hours this month.
