Extra Magic Hours Benefit - When Guests stay at a Disney Resort they get all kinds of great extras, and one of those great extras is extra time in the parks. Each day one of the Disney Theme Parks opens an hour early or stays open up to three hours after regular park closing so Resort Guests can enjoy select attractions (valid theme park ticket and Resort I.D. required). It's a great way for Resort Guests to make the most of cooler nights and mornings, and at a relaxed pace.
Admittance:  The Extra Magic Hour schedule allows Guests staying at Walt Disney World owned and operated Resorts, Walt Disney World Swan, Walt Disney World Dolphin, Shades of Green, and The Hilton in the Walt Disney World Resort, time in our Theme Parks in both the early morning and evening to enjoy select attractions.  Valid theme park ticket and Resort I.D. required.  To enjoy the Extra Magic Hour benefit, guests without the Park Hopper® Option can only visit the park offering the Extra Magic Hour benefit that day or night. 

Morning Extra Magic Hour   occurs one hour prior to regularly scheduled Park opening and Guests will need to present a valid Resort I.D. at the park's turnstiles. Select attractions will be available.

Evening Extra Magic Hours  begin immediately after park close for up to three hours.  Disney Resort Guests need to present their Key to the World cards (or applicable resort ID) for accessing evening Extra Magic Hours attractions. Some of the most popular attractions and select character greeting locations will be available.

Attraction Offerings:  

Select attractions are available during morning and evening Extra Magic Hours. These base attractions are listed below (subject to change and closure for refurbishments). For any additional attractions that may be offered, refer Guests to the Extra Magic Hours Times Guides. (For your reference, the current EMH Times Guides are available under the "Images and Files" heading.)
