Extra Time in the Parks!
In my house, my girls are always up before the sun. As a result, it totally makes sense for us to capitalize on this early wake-up by hitting up the Morning Extra Magic Hours. So, it’s awesome to head to the buses and arrive early to catch some of our favorite rides before the crowds. Simply use your Magic Bands at the turnstiles and the Cast Members will let you in early – you will totally feel like a VIP! And of course, you get those magnificent photo opportunities that come with a nearly empty park!

For some Guests though, the Evening Extra Magic Hours are when they can maximize their park time! Perhaps, you and your family are night owls. If this is the case, you may enjoy the Parks into the night rather than the morning. Good news- Extra Magic Hours go late into the evening as well!
Cast Members begin checking Magic Bands throughout the park and as a result, guide those that are not Resort Guests out of the park. This is a great way to use the Park Hopper option ticket. You and your family can start the day in one park and then “hop” to the park with Evening Extra Magic Hours!
