UPDATE 3/19/19: Guests who booked a Walt Disney World vacation package at Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek and Waldorf Astoria Orlando can now link their hotel reservation on My Disney Experience, and with a linked, valid theme park ticket, these guests can utilize a 60-day booking window for FastPass+ selections.

Guests staying at these hotels with valid Walt Disney World theme park admission will additionally have access to take advantage of the Extra Magic Hours benefits.

These hotel benefits are available now through December 31, 2019, and are subject to change without notice.

Ugh, saw Bonnet Creek and had hopes for Bonnet Creek Resort.

 

[BostonEd]

I doubt the timeshares will ever be included, as that's a different animal.

I was surprised to not see the Four Seasons. I thought for sure they were included when Disney did the first expansion of hotels. Am I missing something?

 

[hiroMYhero]

Am I missing something?

Yes they’ve had the perks. From the Disney website:

Oh, I didn't see it listed on wdwinfo's page, here: https://www.wdwinfo.com/walt-disney-world/what-hotels-have-disneys-extra-magic-hours/

Thanks for finding the primary source!

Thanks for checking the wdwinfo page and noting the omission. I’ll let them know.

I wonder why they wouldn't include the Wyndham Grand Orlando as well?

I wonder why they wouldn't include the Wyndham Grand Orlando as well?

Most likely the hotel wasn’t willing to pay Disney the fee.

 

[ClapYourHands]

Well, I guess this explains why Disney is closing FP loopholes.

When I heard that news, I hoped closing the book-and-cancel loophole and rolling 60-day FP window would mean more FPs available for everyone.

Guess those "extra" 60-day FPs have just been allocated elsewhere.

WDW announced it today, March 1st.

Even DSprings took weeks to update their website and Disney owns Springs.

You're giving their web-strategy efforts WAAAAAAAY too much credit. Give them a month.

 

[Deintinis]

If you have a stay beginning in December but checkout January 2020, I assume you would be able to do 60 day fast pass for the whole trip and not just in December?

Correct. The FP window opens for length of stay so you’ll be fine.

@BostonEd ~ wdwinfo’s Content Team has added Four Seasons! They dropped it into the Swan/Dolphin sentence.

What's the point of EMH anymore? just keep the parks open longer. So watered down it's not even advantageous anymore

 

[Captainkidd76]

Feeling more and more like an on site stay is no longer worth the price difference.

 

[ClapYourHands]

I just checked out prices for Waldorf and Hilton, and holy fees, Batman! Seriously, a $45 resort fee? Add the $27 for parking, and you're at $72 before you even start to pay for the room or taxes. Definitely doesn't seem like a great way to save money offsite.

 

[chicagodisneyguy]

Is it possible to add a Hilton Bonnet Creek to MDE? I booked a reservation for a few days over Easter and can't seem to get it to link to MDE. I'm assuming the answer is no...or I'm doing something wrong. Also, is this a 60 day fastpass hotel or just 30 days?

Thanks!
