    I am going to MK on 12/5/17 and the park opens at 8:00 am. Will the show start at 7:40? Are we allowed to enter at 7:00 am? Thanks!

    Hello Elizabeth! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.

    There is nothing more rewarding for an avid Walt Disney World Resort fan than getting an excellent jump on a jam-packed Disney Day.

    With a scheduled Theme Park opening of 8:00am the Let the Magic Begin Welcome Show at Magic Kingdom will begin around 7:55am, followed immediately by the "rope drop" that official opens the rest of Magic Kingdom to Guests.

    To prepare for the Let the Magic Begin Welcome Show, Guests are granted access to Main Street, U.S.A., roughly 35-45 minutes before Theme Park Opening (around 7:15am-7:25am) where they can make a few early purchases in shops like the Emporium or grab a much-needed coffee at Main Street Bakery before making their way to the front of Cinderella Castle.

    It truly is an Endlessly Magical experience to celebrate the opening of the day at Magic Kingdom. Be sure to arrange your transportation accordingly to arrive at the front of Cinderella Castle before 7:55am.

    Have a Magical Morning!
