I’ll start off by quickly explaining what Extra Magic Hours are. On select days at one of the four Walt Disney World theme parks guests staying at select resort hotels can visit the parks before or after the regular operating hours. This typically means guests have the advantage of walking right onto many of the popular attractions that have much longer waits in the middle of the day.
All guests staying at official Walt Disney World Resort hotels receive access to Extra Magic Hours. This includes:
- Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort
- Disney’s All-Star Music Resort
- Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort
- Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
- Disney’s Pop Century Resort
- Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
