I would like to use extra magic hours at Epcot in the morning on the day of check in. I am staying at Art of Animation Do I have to go to AoA first to check in before using the early magic hour?

Hello Catherine and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! As of right now, you will need to go to Disney's Art of Animation before hitting the parks. However, if you utilize online check-in it will be a pretty quick process. I certainly understand wanting to make the most out of your vacation time! The Walt Disney World Resort is always evolving and updating its check-in procedures, so I recommend following the Disney Parks Blog to get the latest news. If you have more questions, come on back to the Panel- we love to help! See ya real soon! Anne

Meet the Panelist: Anne, Iowa

I’m Anne, a native Iowan, wife, mother, and grandmother. For me, a major part of the fun of a Disney trip is the planning. I have traveled to the Disney Parks in multiple stages of my life, including as a daughter, sister, aunt, mother and grandmother. One of my favorite things to do is to travel with multi-generational groups. I am thrilled to be able to help other Disney guests plan their adventures. Learn More About Anne
