Early Magic On Check In Day

[DisneyNeighbor]

I live close to the parks and will be going for short trip for Fri & Sat. If I check in first thing in the morning will I be able to take advantage of EARLY MAGIC for the parks. Or can I just show my reservation confirmation at the park.

I believe you need to check in. They check your room key. I don't know that a reservation confirmation letter will cut it.

You will need to check in because you use your key card/pass to gain entrance.

Def need to check in first

You can check in as early as 6:00 a.m. or 7:00 a.m. Even if your room isn't ready, you'll still get your resort ID/room key, it just won't open a room door yet.

As stated above, you'll need THIS CARD to gain entry into a park for morning Extra Magic Hours (EMH).

The front desk will give you a phone number to call later in the day. When your room is ready, they'll be able to tell you your room number, and you can bypass the front desk and go right to your room, and your room key will open the door lock.
