While many people are early risers with young children in their families who visit Walt Disney World, you may never have realized all the great things there are to do in the earlier morning hours!
1. Extra Magic Hours – Most obviously you can take part in the early park opening for Disney World Resort Hotel guests! Extra Magic Hours change daily, weekly, monthly, all the time! Check the calendar on the website before you leave for your trip and grab a times guide. Extra Magic Hours are a great way to get through large parts of parks that are busy once regular park hours begin.
2. Rope Drop – Another great park event is the Rope Drop Ceremony! Get to the parks early to experience some Disney Magic.
3. Schedule a Tour! Some of the best things at Disney are what goes on behind the scenes. While they might not be for everyone, many people like myself like looking behind the Magical Disney curtain. Next time you are at the parks you should try one, I promise after one you will be hooked. I love the Behind the Seeds Tour the best. My writer Erin likes to highlight many of these Disney World Tours in her articles. Check them out here.
4. Character Dining experiences – They book up fast but the earlier you get in, the better! Not only do you get early entry to the park if you schedule a character breakfast before park opening (and the opportunity for some empty-park pics on your way in) but you also get to eat, meet, and greet without missing any park time! If you schedule your ADR before the park opens you can get some great empty park photos too.
5. Resort Extras – For example If you are staying at Wilderness Lodge– sign up to be the flag family! You won’t regret it! Same goes for Sunrise Safaris at Animal Kingdom Lodge! If there are exclusive events/experiences available only to hotel guests, experience them in full!
