    I want to know, what time I can enter Magic Kingdom if I am not staying in a Disney Resort.

    Welcome to planDisney, Maria! It’s such an honor to help you with your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth!

    You’ve asked a great question! Guests not staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel can enter the parks at the regular opening time. For Magic Kingdom Park, the official park opening is at 9:00 AM today. However, you can typically access Main Street, U.S.A. about 30-45 minutes before the park opens. This gives you a chance to shop, explore, and grab a treat while you wait for the attractions to open. While you can’t ride rides before the official opening, I love using this time to grab a coffee and a Mickey-shaped Cinnamon Roll at the Main Street Bakery. It’s a great way to start your day!

    Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels and select other hotels enjoy Early Theme Park Entry, allowing them 30 minutes of early access to the parks, but you’re still going to have a fantastic day!

    While you’re in Magic Kingdom, I hope you get a chance to experience some of the classics such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, and Space Mountain, which are always favorites of mine. Be sure to catch the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade during the day, and if you have the energy, don’t miss the beautiful Happily Ever After fireworks show to end the night. It’s the perfect kiss goodnight!

    I hope your day is filled with magic, Maria! Give Mickey a hug for me, and we’ll see ya real soon!
