Question

Answer 1

Hello Victoria!

WOO HOO...You are going to have SO much FUN on your upcoming Walt Disney World Vacation!

Unfortunately, only guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort are allowed to take advantage of Extra Magic Hours. You are required to show your Disney Key to the World Card to verify you are a resort guest to ride any of the attractions during morning or evening Extra Magic Hours.

HOWEVER, I do have a time saving tip for you! Make sure your family arrives early to each Disney Park. The crowds are MUCH lower during that time, and you can really take advantage of riding all of your favorite attractions before everyone else shows up to enjoy the day.

If you have other questions, please let me know!

Have a MAGICAL day!
