Hiya Samantha!
Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney with your question about entering the park early. First things first, congratulations on booking a
Capture Your Moment session! These magical photo sessions are such a special way to celebrate any milestone, big or small. Whether you're marking a birthday, engagement, or just because, you're about to make some seriously frame-worthy memories!
Now let’s focus that lens on getting you to the magic on time. You’ll be happy to hear that you’ll have no problem entering
Magic Kingdom and getting to Liberty Square for your 8:45 AM session. If you arrive earlier than 8:30 AM, look for a friendly Cast Member near the entrance—think of them as your magical tour guides with a clipboard instead of a wand! Let them know you’re there for your Capture Your Moment session and simply show your confirmation in the
My Disney Experience app. With a smile and a sprinkle of pixie dust, they’ll send you right down Main Street to begin your magical morning!
Now, if you're driving, here’s a snapshot of what to expect: The Ticket and Transportation Center (TTC) usually opens about an hour before early entry. So, you can expect parking and transportation to start around 7:30 AM. I always recommend arriving a little early—it gives you plenty of time to hop on the Monorail or Ferryboat and make your way to the park entrance with time to spare.
If you’re staying at a Disney Resort, you’ve got another picture-perfect option:
resort transportation! Buses, boats, and Monorails from Disney Resorts go directly to the Magic Kingdom entrance, letting you skip the TTC entirely. It’s a smooth ride straight into the magic—no filters needed!
Samantha, I hope your photo session will be storybook-perfect. If you have any more questions, feel free to stop by again.
See ya real soon!
