Beginning October 1st, there will be a lot of changes in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle has been redecorated for the 50th Anniversary!
Not only is October 1st the first day of Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration, but it will also mark the beginning of Early Theme Park Entry, the opening of Steakhouse 71, and even the first day Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will be available to the public. If you have a park reservation for October 1st or later, you can now see the Early Theme Park Entry times, and here’s how!
Now on Disney World’s website, if you have a park reservation from October 1st and beyond, you can see the times for Early Theme Park Entry during your visit! If you’re staying at an eligible Disney World Resort hotel, you will be able to enter your reserved Disney Park 30 minutes before opening.

From what we can see on the My Plans page in the My Disney Experience section of the website, you can only see the parks for which you have park reservations, even if you aren’t staying in an eligible Disney World hotel for those dates.

So make a note that seeing these times doesn’t necessarily mean you’re eligible for Early Theme Park Entry. Make sure you double-check with your hotel before arriving 30 minutes early!
