In 2026, "Extra Magic Hours" has been replaced by Early Theme Park Entry, and its availability at "Good Neighbor" hotels is limited and specific. While all official Disney Resort hotels receive this "High-Fidelity" 30-minute early entry benefit, only a select group of non-Disney owned hotels—often referred to as "Partner" or "Select" hotels—qualify. This includes high-fidelity properties such as the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, the hotels in the Disney Springs Resort Area, and the Four Seasons Resort Orlando. Standard "Good Neighbor" hotels that are further away from the property typically do not receive this perk unless they have a specific, current contractual agreement with Disney. For 2026, it is a high-fidelity necessity to verify your specific hotel's status on the official Disney World website before booking. Guests at qualifying hotels must also have valid park admission and a linked "MagicBand" or digital pass to access the parks during this exclusive high-fidelity window.
