Editorial Summary

The creator provides a guide for utilizing early entry at Magic Kingdom for guests staying at select Disney resort hotels. The video begins with advice on using the My Disney Experience app to track bus arrival times and emphasizes arriving early to secure a position at the front of the line. The creator explains that early entry is limited to specific lands, such as Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, meaning certain attractions in Frontierland and Adventureland are unavailable during this period. A central experiment compares two different strategies: one person attempts to ride high-demand attractions like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train immediately, while another waits in line for Tron before it officially opens to see if it saves time. The creator concludes that prioritizing rides available during the early entry window is more efficient for maximizing park time. The video also covers tips regarding Lightning Lane Multipass, the impact of weather on outdoor attractions, and the benefits of completing high-demand rides before the general public enters the park.

Creator's Key Takeaways

We're here at Disney's Old Key West Resort before the sun has even risen because it is time to do early entry at Magic Kingdom.

The biggest question a lot of folks have about early entry is which attraction should they do first?

So, if you're staying at one of these Disney resort hotels, what I recommend doing, get up early, get here, and get some of your biggest rides done.

I don't recommend doing what Eric is doing, but I think we kind of knew that was how it was going to turn out.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use the My Disney Experience app to check bus times and arrive at the bus stop 10 minutes early.

✓Arrive early to knock out big rides before the park opens, saving valuable park time.

✓If using Lightning Lane Multipass, try to get the earliest Lightning Lane possible to tap in and book other rides.

✓Avoid outdoor attractions if it's raining or near freezing temperatures.

✓Consider doing Magic Kingdom on July 5th if visiting over Fourth of July weekend.

Not knowing which attraction to prioritize during early entry — As a general rule, ride the attraction that will have the longest wait later in the day.

Wasting time waiting for early entry to begin — You're saving park time, not just wait time; knocking out rides before the park opens is valuable.

Not knowing how to use Lightning Lane Multipass effectively — Tap in at your first ride to free up booking for multiple tier-one attractions or parks.
