Magic hours

[Mrsboam]

We go 30th Jan for 11 nights and know which parks have magic hours on which days but does the entire park open or just certain areas?
Also, assume we are best to book fast passes for outside of magic hours and aim to do as much as possible during that first hour?

Thanks

I think the whole park is open for EMH. Also I don't think you can book FP during EMH, certainly can't in the evenings, never done a morning.

Thank you!

For morning hours it is just certain areas open. Not the whole park. Evening hours it is all lands.

Take a look on theDIBB Park hours and then click the park logo on the day. Click the magic wand and you will see what attractions are open during morning EMH.

You will see in MK that Space Mountain is open during morning EMH but not Splash Mountain or Big Thunder Mountain.

It depends on which park and which EMH.

disneyworld.disney.go/en...a-magic-hours/ has a list of rides that are open during EMH. From my experience and previous knowledge some areas of the parks will be closed during certain EMHs (e.g. Frontierland isn't open during MK morning EMH - I believe it's just Main Street, Tomorrowland and Fantasyland that are open).

Also if I'm not wrong you can't get fastpasses during extra magic hours, as fastpasses only run during regular park opening hours. I typically try to get fastpasses for around the 10am-1pm window (when the park is busy), as earlier in the morning the queues aren't that long yet (with the caveat that this does depend on how busy the parks are).

We did early hours in June/July. We used that time in the magic kingdom for a couple rides for the adults and several princess meet and greets so we didn’t have to use fast passes for them
