The conditions to enjoy additional moments of magic
As we mentioned, with the Extra Magical Times, you have the opportunity to enjoy the parks even before opening time for the public. This means you get a little extra, an additional dose of magic during your visit that you shouldn’t miss out on. Plus, this can be done every day, throughout the year (except, of course, during park closures). You’ll be able to enjoy all the attractions and activities before too many visitors start lining up, and you’ll also have the chance to meet your childhood heroes without having to wait! You’ll enjoy numerous benefits, all in a calm environment without being rushed by other visitors.
To take advantage of these extra magical moments, you will need to meet certain conditions:
- Either you are staying in a Disneyland Paris hotel, and in that case, you can pick up the Magic Pass at the reception of your hotel or at the Disney Express service at Marne-La-Vallée Chessy train station. Once you have this pass, you will be able to enjoy these extra magical moments starting from your first day at the hotel. If you did not purchase the tickets at the same time as your hotel reservation, you should approach the reception during check-in to let them know that you want to take advantage of these moments.
- Alternatively, if you have a valid Disneyland Pass Gold, you can also enjoy these extra magical moments. However, please note that temporary passes or passes with restrictions (which can be found on the Disney park calendar) may not grant access to these moments. Accompanying individuals of the Annual Pass holder can also participate in these moments if they have privilege tickets, but the pass holder must be present.
So, if you meet these conditions, you can enjoy these extra time every day from 8:30 am to 9:30 am. Afterward, starting from 9:30 am, the gates are open to all visitors, and they can begin using the attractions from 10 am onwards, giving you an additional half an hour to enjoy. As you can understand, you have approximately an hour and a half to enjoy the park without having to wait in line before other visitors arrive.
When you want to enjoy these moments, you can use the special queue located at the Disneyland Hotel. You can start lining up from 8 am. Once there, you will need to present several documents of your choice to gain entry:
- The Disney Hotel Easy Pass card
- The Magic pass
- Disneyland Pass Gold
- A Privilege Ticket (while ensuring that you are accompanied by the passholder, as mentioned earlier)
Next, if you want to know which attractions you have access to during your Extra Magic Time, you can consult the calendars available directly on the Disneyland Paris website. Indeed, these may vary, and depending on the periods, you may only have access to one park.
