Hi Jessica! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with this great question!
In just a few days, you'll be arriving for an unforgettable visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort! It sounds like you are inquiring about opening times at the parks, so let's jump right in and help you plan for a magical day!
I took a peek at the
opening time at the Magic Kingdom for your arrival date. It seems as though the park is slated to open at 8 AM, with
Early Theme Park Entry beginning at 7:30 AM. This added benefit is available to Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel or other select hotels. The following day, the park does not officially open until 9 AM. If your plans happen to change, please keep note of this later opening time.
Arriving at the
Magic Kingdom right as it opens is a great strategy to have. The crowds tend to be on the lighter side first thing in the morning, which allows you to ride some attractions with lower wait times. My family will typically head straight to the attractions at the top of our priority list to ensure that we do not miss out on them. Then, we usually grab a bite to eat or stop by some of the shops on Main Street, U.S.A. We always make sure to catch the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade in the afternoon before heading to more attractions. We usually close out the night with the nighttime spectacular, which is currently Happily Ever After. I highly recommend staying for the new nighttime parade,
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away, which debuted a few months ago. Currently, there are two showtimes each night when the park does not close early for the Halloween party.
Jessica, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
