What time do the parks open & how much should i expect to pay for parking?
Once again, you guys/gals are great!:sohappy: My hat's off to all of you. Hopefully, the information that you all have given will help me and my family make sound decisions. Thanks!
I got these off the Disney Website for you...
www.disneyworld.com...just click on the calendar section on the top of the main page, and it gives you times for the whole month of June for each different park.
Here are the extra magic hours...if you know what they are, just skip this next paragraph, but if you don't here's a little info...my job is boring so here I sit at my desk...at least this is entertaining...wow, my life is sad...:lookaroun
Every day, at least one park opens an hour early, and sometimes a certain park will stay open up to three hours late. (We once spent a 16 hour day at Magic Kingdom...but I won't recommend it :lol: ) If you have park hoppers, this is a GREAT idea...sometimes the parks with the ExtraMagicHours are the busiest during the day, but that hour before the park officially opens is wonderful. The three hours later is great too, but the kids will probably be tired. (They say EMH are for Disney hotel guests, but they've never checked mine. May want to ask others if they are. If others say they won't let you in, go to the parks WITHOUT the EMH...they'll be far less crowded:animwink: )
Here are the hours for when you'll be there:
Magic Kingdom: 9 to 11 every day (except when there's EMH)
Epcot: Future World (with Soarin, Mission Space, Test Track, etc) 9 -7
World Showcase (all the countries) 11-9 (@ 9 is huge
fireworks show, Illuminations..it's awesome)
MGM: 9 to 10 every day (except when there's EMH) YOU HAVE TO GO SEE
FANTASMIC...it's the best show in the whole world...seriously. There's probably going to be two showings of it when you're @ MGM, one at 8p.m., the other at 10. If you go to the early one, get there at least 1 1/2 hours early. If you go to the late one, 45 min. should be fine)
AK: 9 to 8 every day (except when there's EMH)
Typhoon Lagoon: 9 to 6
Blizzard Beach: 9 to 6
Here are the EMH for when you'll be there:
