Can someone explain Magic Hours for Disney resort guests?

[PaulaSue]

I found the hours for the week we are going but I don't understand the Magic hours. We are staying at CBR.



TIA!

The short answer is: because you're staying at a Disney Resort, you can enter certain parks early on certain days, and stay after regular closing at certain parks on certain days. Use this page from the DIS as a primer http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/earlyentry.htm and to check which parks are open longer on the dates of your trip.

There's a lot of dicussion here as to whether EMH is worth it. Generally most people agree that the morning EMH, although only an hour, can let you do a lot of the big ticket attractions before the general public enters a park. The verdict remains out on evening EMH, as it can be very crowded.

If its a morning EMH the park is open ONE FULL HOUR before the posted open time only to guests staying at an on-property Disney Resort.

Take ALL of your room keys with you to the park and that's your "proof" to get in early.

If its an evening EMH the park is open THREE FULL HOURS after the posted closing time only to guests staying at an on-property Disney Resort.

Take ALL of your room keys with you to the park and that's your "proof" to get a wrist-band that allows you onto any open attraction.

There are only selected attractions (rides) that are open during EMH, but they are very popular attractions.

Go to

disneyworld.disney.go.com

and search for Extra Magic Hours for the list of attractions that are open.

Thank you both! I thought that was it but I couldn't find it, again. I didn't want to tell the GPs that and be wrong.
Only 2 1/2 weeks o go and so much little stuff to double check.

Thanks again!!!!
