Hi Emarie,
Thank you for bringing us your question about
Extra Magic Hours! Extra Magic Hours is my favorite
benefit of staying in a Disney Resort Hotel, it allows us to maximize our time by riding our favorite attractions (sometimes multiple times) at the start of the day!
Guests staying on site are usually asked to validate they are entitled to the benefit by having their
MagicBands scanned at the entrance. At least, the last time I was there for Extra Magic Hours this past March, there was no need to verify a guest was staying on site multiple times but once.
I'm so excited to hear you will get to ride everyone's favorite rides such as
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train,
Space Mountain, and
Peter Pan's Flight at the start of your day! Who wouldn't want to start their day with this much fun?
Remember to always check the printed Times Guide, available at every Disney Resort hotel Front Desk OR the Parks calendar to see where and when the Extra Magic Hours benefit is offered. Also, be sure to have the
My Disney Experience app downloaded on your mobile device to learn about any unplanned attraction closures or long-term refurbishments. And, remember that from September 1 to November 2, this year, Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels will have more opportunities to take advantage of the Extra Magic Hours benefit with
extra, Extra Magic Hours!, which allow you to enjoy EVEN more time at a select theme park—before the park’s regular operating hours—to enjoy select attractions and experiences (YES, Star Wars Galaxy's Edge at
Disney's Hollywood Studios is included in this benefit-subject to capacity).
I hope these ideas are helpful, Emarie. Thank you for stopping by and please come back with more questions about your vacation!
See ya real soon!
