Hi Mary Beth! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
A day in
Magic Kingdom Park sounds extra wonderful right now! Soon you will be seeing the beautiful decorations while strolling down Main Street, U.S.A. and I am a bit jealous. I adore the
holiday season at "The Most Magical Place on Earth!" *swoon*
On mornings that the separately ticketed event
Early Morning Magic - Fantasyland takes place, Guests with general admission
Walt Disney World Resort theme park tickets are able to enter the theme park up to one hour prior to theme park opening hours (this time varies). However, you are only able to walk down Main Street, U.S.A. and explore the area in front of
Cinderella Castle until the official theme park hours begin. If the park officially opens at 9:00 A.M., Fantasyland will open around that time for general admission Guests as well. I like getting to the theme parks early in the morning so I can begin my day before the crowds build!
I hope this helps with your planning, Mary Beth! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Tabitha
