Hello, Randi!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I'm so happy that you're visiting the Walt Disney World Resort during
the most wonderful time of the yEAR! I'm sure you're going to have a fantastic time!
I LOVE the Christmas decorations that take over the Disney Resort hotels, and I'm sure you'll love them, too!
All Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels can enjoy
Extra Magic Hours. I love this
benefit because it allows my family to enjoy more of the Theme Parks, no matter if it's in the morning or if it's at night!
If you're staying at a
Disney Resort hotel and the Extra Magic Hours are from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m., for example, I believe you will have time to enjoy the incredible
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train before heading to Be Our Guest Restaurant.
This plan is feasible if you arrive early at the Ticket and Transportation Center. It's wise to be ready to catch the first
ferryboat that will leave the Ticket and Transportation Center 30 minutes before the beginning of the Extra Magic Hours.
If you're not staying at a Disney Resort hotel, though, you will have to wait until the Theme Park opens for all the Guests, since Extra Magic Hours are offered exclusively to Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels.
In that scenario, you will still have an advantage because you will already be at Fantasyland while the other Guests will have to walk down Main Street, U.S.A.
In this case, it's wise to
order your breakfast in advance so that you can make the most of your time at
Be Our Guest Restaurant and exit before the park opens to all Guests. I had the
Open-Faced Bacon and Egg Sandwich the last time I started my day there, and it was outstanding!
I hope that your morning at
Magic Kingdom Park is as fantastic as it can be, Randi. As more questions pop up before you board the sleigh, please, stop by!
May the magic be with you,
Julie
