One of the biggest advantages of staying at a Disney World hotel is not the ambiance of Disney magic (although that is pretty amazing), but the free perks that come along with the reservation!
You get free transportation almost anywhere around Disney property (can’t go from Disney Springs to the parks though), but you also get Early Entry into the four parks on any given day! If you’re heading to Disney World in 2025, these are the hotels that will give you Early Entry perks.
However, things can change between now and the start of 2025, since we have 9 more months of 2024 to get through, but at this time, since bookings are available for 2025, we can assume that Disney would have made a note about these hotels choosing to not offer Early Entry in 2025 by now.
We’ll be sure to keep this post updated if things change. The full list of Disney World Hotels that should be offering Early Entry in 2025 is:
The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort
The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort
Disney’s All-Star Music Resort

Certain Good Neighbor Hotels will also offer Early Entry as a perk. In 2025, these hotels are currently slated to be:
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel
Walt Disney World Swan Hotel
Walt Disney World Swan Reserve
B Resort & Spa Lake Buena Vista
DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Orlando
Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando Lake Buena Vista
Four Seasons Resort Orlando
Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace
Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista
Holiday Inn Orlando
Shades of Green® on Walt Disney World Resort
Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek
Waldorf Astoria Orlando
Wyndham Garden Lake Buena Vista
Wyndham Lake Buena Vista
Many of these Good Neighbor Hotel offer fantastic deals for staying close to the parks on a budget, but we’d like to warn you against using their free transportation to and from the parks. It’s not Disney’s transportation, and sometimes it can be much slower and cause you to miss certain events like rope drop, dining reservations, and more.
Here’s why people AREN’T staying at Disney World Hotels and are choosing Good Neighbor Hotels instead!
