Last year Disney made the unexpected move of expanding the extended 60-day FastPass+ booking window to include properties near Disney Springs on Hotel Plaza Boulevard and the surrounding Good Neighbor hotels. Though these hotels are not Disney-owned, they have enjoyed some perks in the past, including Extra Magic Hours and special character experiences, and the addition of the extra FastPass+ booking windows was certainly a welcome new perk for guests staying at these budget-friendly locations. And now it has been officially confirmed that all guests staying at the seven Disney Springs hotels (as well as the Four Seasons will be able to continue to enjoy this extra FastPass+ booking window perk, as well as Extra Magic Hours until the end of 2020. 

In case you need a refresher, these are the hotels that qualify for these extended benefits:

  • Four Seasons Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort
  • B Resort & Spa
  • Best Western Lake Buena Vista
  • DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Orlando – Disney Springs Area
  • Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace
  • Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista
  • Holiday Inn Orlando – Disney Springs Area
