Royal greetings, Charlotte!
A warm welcome to planDisney and thank you for bringing us a fantastic
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question. Your enchanting escape to The Most Magical Place on Earth is
just around the river bend... are you counting down the moments until the
clock strikes midnight!? I'm here to help you prepare for a
shining, shimmering, splendid holiday at the Walt Disney World Resort!
Charlotte, at
Cinderella's Royal Table, you'll come face to face with several members of Disney royalty. Not only will you be greeted by Cinderella, herself but you'll have the opportunity to interact with several other Disney Princesses as you dine in a truly regal setting! According to the
Hours & Events Calendar, Magic Kingdom Park opens to daytime Guests at 8:00 a.m. on the date you intend to visit, and Disney Resort hotel Guests can access select attractions beginning at 7:30 a.m. during
early theme park entry. Typically, Guests can begin accessing Main Street, U.S.A. and the "hub" near Cinderella Castle about 30 minutes before the early theme park entry period begins. I'd suggest arriving no earlier than 7:00 a.m., as this would provide ample time to browse the
whozits and whatzits at the
Emporium and snag a "cuppa" to help you
step in time from the
Main Street Bakery before the rest of the park opens!
If you'll be arriving at Magic Kingdom Park via third-party rideshare, you'll be dropped off at the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC), Charlotte. Only official Disney Resort hotel transportation (including buses, ferry boats, monorail, and
Disney Minnie Van service) can drop Guests directly at the theme park entrance. As for your
theme park tickets, these should not need to be activated if they're standard theme park tickets. However, if you've purchased an Annual Pass, this probably
will require activation at a theme park ticket window before first use.
Charlotte, I do hope this information has helped you to feel more prepared for your upcoming holiday. I'm wishing you a trip filled with wonder, enchantment, and
BEST DAYS EVER! If you have any additional questions before your Walt Disney World Resort adventure, please feel free to revisit us here at
planDisney. We're here to help you make the most of your time at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
Reach out and find your Happily Ever After,
Lauren
