Magic Kingdom Removes Attraction from Early Entry

Without warning, Magic Kingdom just removed an attraction from Early Entry. What do you think about this change?

Disney World Early Entry

It is important to note that the posted park times may not be the actual park times. Guests staying at Disney World Resorts can enter all four theme parks 30 minutes earlier than the official park opening.

First introduced in 2021, Early Theme Park Entry allows guests staying at Walt Disney World Resorts to enter all 4 Theme Parks 30 minutes early. Originally, all other guests were held at the park entrance.

Early Entry has changed a bit over the years. Now all guests can enter the Parks at the same time, but non-resort guests are held at select stop points.

Early Entry at Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom offers so many exhilarating and nostalgic attractions that garner high wait times. Disney Resort guests can enjoy lower wait times for the most popular attractions in Tomorrowland and Fantasyland.

Previously, Early Entry Guests heading towards Fantasyland would be held at a rope next to Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe. When the rope was lowered, guests would rush to their first attraction. 

Now, with only a few exceptions, Guests are no longer held at a rope. That's right, now you can simply walk and join the growing queue for 7 Dwarfs Mine Train or whichever attraction you hope to enjoy first.
