Disney's Extra Magic Hours

Similar to the former “Surprise Morning” or “Early Entry” program that was abruptly discontinued last fall, the Extra Magic Hour  will allow Walt Disney World Resort guests, Swan and Dolphin resort guests, and guests of the Hilton at Lake Buena Vista entrance to one of Disney’s major theme parks an hour before the general public.

Each day one of the four major theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Disney’s MGM Studios, Epcot or Animal Kingdom) will open an hour early on an alternating schedule.

The attractions that will be operating during this special time has yet to be announced.

There is no additional charge for this extra Hour of Magic but guests should be prepared to show their resort ID.

As part of the new "Magic Your Way" vacation plan, beginning January 2, 2005, Walt Disney World Resort modified the Extra Magic Hour schedule to include both Morning and Evening "Extra" Hours. Each day one of the Disney Theme Parks opens an hour early or stays open up to an extra three hours, so Guests of Disney Resorts* have the opportunity to get extra time in the parks.

Guests will need to present a valid Key to the World Card at the park's turnstiles. Resort Guests wishing to enjoy Evening Extra Magic Hours must obtain a wristband at the theme park by presenting a valid Key to the World Card no sooner than two hours prior to Park close. Every guest must have their resort ID. In addition to being a Disney Resort Guest, a valid Theme park ticket is required.

Please note; If you are vacationing with a Magic Your Way Base Ticket, in order to take advantage of the program, your Theme Park selection must be the Park offering the Extra Magic Hours benefit that day. A base pass only allows you to visit one Theme Park per day. If you want to go from Theme Park to Theme Park on the same day, including whichever Park has Extra Magic Hours, you must add the Park Hopper Option to your ticket.

*Disney  Owned resorts, the Swan & Dolphin Resorts, Shades of Green, and the Hilton at Lake Buena Vista.


Disney releases the Extra Magic Hour schedule with the Park Hours and Events. It is always subject to change.
