Speaking of park hours, those can vary depending upon the season and attendance projections. It’s more complicated at Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, for reasons relating to park hours that we’ll explain in the strategy section… At Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, this is a definite negative. By contrast, Early Entry is daily 30-minute (or so) access to Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. That is a definite plus for Early Entry, as it means the crowds are diluted.Īnother difference is that Extra Magic Hours lasted for an hour on each morning it was held. Whereas morning Extra Magic Hours were offered on select days and at select parks, Early Entry is offered at all 4 theme parks every single day. With that said, there are some key differences between the on-site guest benefits, and pros & cons of each. In terms of basics, Early Theme Park Entry replaces morning Extra Magic Hours. This strategy guide covers everything you need to know: eligibility, ride rosters, how the perk works, and tips for best using the extra morning time in Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Guests of on-site Walt Disney World resorts and other hotels have access to Early Entry.
