Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Bridget!
I am always trying to squeeze as much magic as possible into my day at Walt Disney World Resort, which is why I love the special events that give my family extra time in the Theme Parks, like
Early Morning Magic and
Disney After Hours. I've got tickets to a Disney After Hours event coming up in a few weeks, and I can't wait to stay in
Magic Kingdom Park until it shuts down at 1 a.m.!
At the moment, there is no early morning event scheduled at Magic Kingdom Park on Monday, December 16 so you can go ahead and plan your day knowing that the Theme Park will open at 9 a.m. and close at 11 p.m. The next morning, however, has Early Morning Magic at Fantasyland scheduled beginning at 7:45 a.m. Early Morning Magic is a special ticketed event that allows guests even more time in the Theme Parks first thing in the morning before anyone else gets there! A very limited number of tickets are sold, so it truly feels like having Fantasyland all to yourself! I just checked and there are still tickets available for the morning of December 17, so have a look and see if it might work well for your family. There's even breakfast included, so it's an extra magical way to start your day at Magic Kingdom Park.
I hope this answers your questions, Bridget, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation.
