Extra Magic Hours


Guests at select Walt Disney World hotels also can add fun to their day with the Extra Magic Hours benefit. Each day, one of the Walt Disney World theme parks opens one hour early or stays open up to three hours later for Disney resort guests, providing extra time in the parks to experience select attractions. In addition, both Disney water parks offer an Extra Magic Hours benefit, opening one hour early daily for guests at select Disney resort hotels. While guests must have Resort ID and valid ticketing for the parks offering the Extra Magic Hours, there is no additional charge to enjoy the exclusive time in the parks.

Note:
  • The exclusive time is one hour prior to scheduled park opening or up to three hours after park closing.
  • The park varies from day to day.
  • In all, there are up to 16 extra theme park hours available each week.
  • The time is exclusively for guests of the 24 Walt Disney World owned-and-operated hotels, and Walt Disney World Dolphin, Walt Disney World Swan, Shades of Green and the Hilton at Downtown Disney. Valid Resort ID and Ticket required for every member of the party.
  • Disney water parks sometimes open one hour early for guests of select Disney resort hotels.
  • To take advantage of the additional time in the parks, guests must have a Magic Your Way ticket valid for the park(s) offering Extra Magic Hours and, of course, their hotel ID.
  • The Park Hopper option on Magic Your Way tickets allows guests to take advantage of Extra Magic Hours in a park or parks different from where the guest spends the rest of the day.
  • Not all rides and attraction in the park will be open for Extra Magic Hours. See list below for details.
