Extra Magic Hour for Disneyland Guests!

Starting this summer, you will have one more reason to book a vacation at one the Hotels of the Disneyland® Resort. Beginning with arrivals on June 18, 2012, Guests staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel can take advantage of Extra Magic Hour* – early entry to either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure® Park – every day of your stay (with valid Theme Park admission and active hotel-room key card).

Extra Magic Hour will allow registered Disneyland Resort Hotel Guests admission into select attractions at Disneyland Park on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and Disney California Adventure Park on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, before that Park opens to the general public.

Guests not staying at one of the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort, but have 3-Day or moreDisneyland Resort Park Hopper® Bonus Tickets, may continue to enjoy one Magic Morning entry at Disneyland Park on designated days.

Check the official Disneyland site for any updates to the schedule of when each Park offers Extra Magic Hour. Each registered hotel Guest (ages 3 and older) must have a valid Theme Park ticket and active hotel-room key card to gain entry during Extra Magic Hour. To enhance the Extra Magic Hour experience, it is strongly recommended that Guests arrive at least one hour and 15 minutes prior to regular park opening.

*Applicable Theme Park, days and times of operation and all other elements including, but not limited to, operation of attractions, entertainment, stores, restaurants and appearances of Characters may vary and are subject to change without notice. Subject to capacity, cancellation and other restrictions.

This is just one of the many benefits of staying at a Disneyland Resort hotel.  Explore the others here.  Contact me today to start planning your Disneyland vacation and see for yourself why the "Happiest Place on Earth" just got happier!
