What are Extra Magic Hours?
Extra Magic Hours are special extended operating hours available exclusively to guests staying at selected Disney Hotels at Disneyland Paris. During Extra Magic Hours, certain attractions, shops, and restaurants open earlier or stay open later than the regular park operating hours. It allows Disney Hotel guests to enjoy shorter wait times and a more relaxed experience in the parks.
How to Take Advantage of Extra Magic Hours:
Stay at a Disney Hotel: To access Extra Magic Hours, you must be a registered guest at one of the Disney Hotels at Disneyland Paris. Make sure to book your stay in advance and check that your hotel offers this benefit.
Check the Schedule: Extra Magic Hours are usually offered in the morning, allowing guests to enter the park before regular day guests. Check the schedule for the days you plan to visit Disneyland Paris as Extra Magic Hours are subject to change and availability.
Arrive Early: Take advantage of the early admission by arriving at the park before the Extra Magic Hours begin. The earlier you arrive, the more time you’ll have to enjoy the attractions with shorter queues.
Plan Your Priorities: Since not all attractions may be open during Extra Magic Hours, review the list of participating rides and attractions beforehand. Prioritize the ones you want to experience during this special time.
Use Premier Access (FASTPASS) Wisely: During Extra Magic Hours, the Premier Access (Fastpass) service is not available. Utilize the limited wait times for popular attractions and save your Premier Acess passes for later in the day when the park is busier.
Enjoy the Quiet Atmosphere: Extra Magic Hours offer a more relaxed and less crowded experience. Take your time to explore the park, snap photos, and enjoy the ambiance before the park gets busy with regular guests.
Be Mindful of Closing Times: While Extra Magic Hours allow for extended park access, be aware of the regular closing times. Attractions and services may close earlier than usual once Extra Magic Hours end, so plan accordingly.
Dining Options: Some restaurants may also participate in Extra Magic Hours, offering breakfast or early dining options. Take advantage of these dining opportunities to fuel up for the day or enjoy a meal before the park officially opens.
Be Respectful of Others: Remember that Extra Magic Hours are a privilege for Disney Hotel guests. Be considerate of other visitors and follow the park rules and guidelines to ensure everyone has a magical experience.
Take Breaks: If you plan to stay for the regular park hours after Extra Magic Hours, pace yourself and take breaks throughout the day. Rest, hydrate, and recharge so you can make the most of your visit.
Remember, Extra Magic Hours are subject to change, and it’s always a good idea to double-check the schedule upon arrival or consult the Disneyland Paris website for the most up-to-date information.
Enjoy your magical experience at Disneyland Paris!
