Participating Hotels for Walt Disney World Early Park Admission

Guests staying at Disney World Resort hotels and select other hotels can take advantage of a 30-minute early entry into Walt Disney World theme parks every day.

Upon arriving at the Theme Park, Cast Members will be standing by ready to scan your Magic Band or Key to the World Card to verify your hotel reservation.

If you see a crowd of people, don’t assume they are in line for Early Park Mission. Many people arrive at the parks early to be there for the normal opening time (aka rope drop) and you don’t want to get mixed up with that crowd.

Be sure to look around for the Early Park Admission access points. If you’re unsure where to go, ask a Cast Member, there are plenty of them on duty to assist guests during this time.

MagicBands were introduced in 2013 along with the MyMagic+ program, also called My Disney Experience. If you haven’t noticed, Disney likes to create multiple names for basically the same thing: Disney Genie+ / Lightning Lane and Memory Maker / PhotoPass are good examples. It’s not that MagicBands are bad in anyway, in fact they are neat little gadgets. It’s just that we don’t need them anymore, they're outdated. Today most park people are using their smartphones instead. Yep, your phone comes with a hidden MagicBand inside. Smartwatches too. Disney World MagicMobile uses the wallet feature in your phone. If you've used your phone to pay for items in a grocery store or to board a flight, you have already used your phone’s wallet technology. If you haven’t used the your phone’s wallet feature yet, that’s ok! Disney’s app will walk you through the setup process in just a few steps. 📱 See the full article here (it's free!) https://orlandoparksguy.com/blog/magicbands-magicmobile #orlandoparksguy #disneyworld #waltdisneyworld #magicband #disneyvacation #wdw #disneyparks #mydisneyvacation
