Disney’s Hollywood Studios — Daily from Sept. 1-Nov. 2, the park will have Extra, Extra Magic Hours from 6-9 a.m., including Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, plus Toy Story Land attractions and select other attractions. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and its experiences subject to capacity.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom – Extra, Extra Magic Hours will happen daily Aug. 29-Nov. 2, from 7-8 a.m., featuring Pandora – The World of Avatar and other attractions throughout the park (same as today’s morning Extra Magic Hours offerings).

Thanks for sharing! We're planning to visit HS on our first morning as we'll be awake early anyway, so will definitely make use of this

Really shocked to see they're doing "extra, extra magic hours" at the other parks as well. I'm going two weeks after GE opened (and I'm one of those that booked hoping for it not to be open), so it's going to be some early mornings.

Really glad I'm staying onsite. This pretty much kills rope drop for offsite guests at any park other than Epcot.

Wonder how it will affect the busy day guide as parks with extra hours are not recommended, but it looks like all parks will have extra hours on some days, with 3 parks on every day!

That's so good. Though I'm sad as I arrive on Nov 1st so will miss it 😂 also, I wonder what that means for the opening of the second ride in galaxy's edge if they're stopping it on the 2nd? Unless they keep it going I guess!
