I scanned the whole thread and didn't see what I was looking for. Does anyone know what time the ticket booths open on a MM day? Our first day @ DL will be a Sunday but we will not have our tickets yet. We are ordering them from get away today. We are staying near the Ontario airport the night before but have a feeling we will be up early. We are from the East Coast. If we are up early I want to take advantage of MM. Anyone know? Thanks.

On March 12, 2008, I spoke to Guest Relations at DLR (714-781-7290).

According to Guest Relations:

DL's ticket booths open 30 minutes before DL's regular opening time, and they stay open until 30 minutes before DL's closing time.

On Magic Mornings, DL's ticket booths still open 30 minutes before DL's regular opening time. For example, if DL's regular opening time is 8:00 a.m. and the Magic Morning starts at 7:00 a.m., then DL's ticket booths would open at 7:30 a.m.

If it was my family coming from the East.....I would drive to Anaheim from Ontario Airport Sat evening (very little traffic) & get a room nearby. Assuming a midnight closing, you can pick up your parkhoppers as late as 11:30pm. (by walking from your nearby lodging, or being dropped off at the drop off a few yards from the ticket office)

That way you can enjoy MM on Sunday morning. (assuming you'll be up early because of the time change)

Where are you staying Sunday/Monday night etc.??

 

[shelleyz]

S.S.Columbia thanks for the info. Hound 109, we are staying at the DLH Sunday Aug 10th - Sunday Aug 17th. The reason we are staying at a hotel near the Ontario airport is because we get in around 9:30 and have to get our rental car. With the time change it will be 12:30 Eastern time to us and the kids will be wiped out. We will just use the MM's on Tuesday, Saturday & the following Sunday. Thanks.

Looks like you'll have plenty of chances to enjoy MM (since you're staying at the DLH for 6 or 7 days). Given the above, I understand staying at a Motel near the airport the first night.

In the odd chance that the family rises & shines at 5am....head on over to the DLH...check in, park & pick up your FPs at 7:30 & enjoy 30 min. of MM. (note- Sunday mornings are typically VERY uncrowded till about 11am). fwiw, MM is harder to "get up" for the longer you are there.

I have heard something about Magic Morning entry passes being discontinued, is this true, does anyone know?

 

[disneychrista]

While it is possible, as everything at Disney is subject to change, I have not heard anything about this.

There were rumors, that turned out false, that the unlimited option for onsite hotel guests, was being eliminated.

 

[northshoremama]

does anyone know if photopass photographers are around during the magic morning hour? i was hoping to get a family photo taken in front of the castle before heading into fantasyland...but just wasn't sure if there would be photopass people to take our pic at 7am....

 

[caldad]

Nope, trust me. It is an unwritten rule to offer onsite guests multiple MMs. It's not advertised on the website, but once you arrive I believe they inform you of the onsite MM perk.

Yup. DLR29 is correct. We've done this the last few years staying at DL hotels.

 

[northshoremama]

Just wanted to let folks know....
I know there are other posts here regarding the time that the ticket booths open on a Magic Morning day...stating that ticket booths open 30 minutes before DL's regular opening time.

I called DL's guest relations today, July 28, 2008...about our October trip. I spoke with Walt (yes, his name was really Walt). I asked him about the time that ticket booths open on Magic Morning days. He specifically gave me an example for tomorrow saying that the park opens at 8am, so MM is at 7am...so the tickets booths open up at 6:30am, 30 minutes before MM. I told him that I wanted to do an MM on Thursday, October 9...so he checked for the park's opening time on that day. He told me that DL opens at 9am...so MM would be at 8am, and that ticket booths open at 7:30am. He said that is the policy because there are people who will want to pick up their tickets that morning and may want to do an MM that same day (my family and i would fall into this category).

It seems that DL CMs have differing information...but I just wanted to share what I learned today. I do plan to call again a couple days before we leave to see what they say then. I really do hope they open 30 minutes before MM!

I just spoke with Kaitlin and Trisha at Guest Relations at DLR (714-781-7290).

Here's what they both said:

On Magic Morning days, and days without MM, the ticket booths open 30 minutes before DL's regular opening time.

On March 12, 2008, Rob at Guest Relations gave the same information.

I wouldn't want anyone to miss the first 30 minutes of a Magic Morning (especially on their first morning in DL).

FWIW I started a new thread that asks if anyone had picked up their tickets on a Magic Morning day and gone to the Magic Morning on the same day.

 

[LMO429]

will there be MM from Oct 8th - 12th and if so when are they...I read somewhere if was being discontinued is this true?? will they still have MM in October?

here is my reply when asked earlier

we're there from oct 9-11th...and i'm thinking there will still be MMs during that time. right now MMs are sundays, tuesdays, thursdays, and saturdays...and they start 1 hour before park opening. if you check the park hours on disneyland's site, you'll noticed that the park opens at 9am on oct 9th...so MM would start at 8am. of course, it's always wise to call right a day or two before you leave for DL. have fun!

 

[DLR29]

On Magic Morning days, and days without MM, the ticket booths open 30 minutes before DL's regular opening time.

I will add this into the OP and I will update it if someone replies to the other thread about getting tickets and using MM that same day.

Hi all

I am going to be staying at GCH and have all my tickets organised as part of my stay (I was told on the phone that I get my 'package' when I check-in as I live overseas).

Now I arrive on the Wednesday night, and I am planning on going to Disneyland on the Thu, Fri and Mon, so Thu is the only day that has the MM. So would I be able to take advantage of the MM? I'm not sure how the tickets work, would I get given them by the hotel or do I have to line up at the ticket booth?

Thank you

Your park hopper ticket & your hotel slip (that you'll receive when you check in) will get you into MM on Thursday morning...be sure to ask the GCH CM how to walk into DTD & then walk to DL front gate 30-40 min. prior to MM.

Also, fwiw, if you add an extra day to your park hopper, you can enjoy MM on Sat. morning as well. (worth it imo....even if only for a few hours.)

Oh.....& Welcome to the DIS.....& Have a great time at Walt's park!

OK I will make sure to ask, thanks

I already have plans to go to Universal and Knotts on the weekend, so I don't really have any spare days left.

Thanks for the welcome - I am really excited about going to Disneyland for the first time
