Hi, Filipe! Welcome to planDisney.
How exciting that you have a trip planned for the end of April into May. I’m happy to share how
Early Theme Park Entry works and what you can expect.
Early Theme Park Entry is an exclusive benefit for Guests staying at
Disney Resort hotels and select other hotels, allowing them to enter any of the four theme parks 30 minutes before the official park opening time. Unfortunately, since you’re staying off-property, you won’t be able to take advantage of this perk.
However, you are absolutely right that
Magic Kingdom Park does allow all Guests to enter Main Street, U.S.A. before the official park opening time! While you won’t be able to access attractions just yet, you can grab a coffee at
Main Street Bakery, browse the shops, and soak in that magical morning atmosphere as you get a prime spot for the
"Let The Magic Begin" welcome show at
Cinderella Castle.
Unfortunately, the other theme parks don’t offer anything quite like this. However, even without Early Theme Park Entry, arriving at the parks 30-45 minutes before opening is still a smart strategy! You’ll get a head start on the crowds and make the most of those first few hours with lower wait times.
Mike
