FAQs

What do I need to enjoy Early Theme Park Entry?

  • Valid theme park admission
  • Park reservation*
  • Disney MagicMobile pass (hotel reservation must be linked via My Disney Experience, see below) or Early Theme Park Entry voucher provided by the hotel

Please note guests without the Park Hopper Option or Park Hopper Plus Option must spend the day at the same park where they’d like to enjoy the Early Theme Park Entry benefit.

 

How do I link my hotel reservation and tickets to My Disney Experience?

  • Visit StartYourDisneyExperience.com and sign in or create an account.
  • Build your Family & Friends list to include those staying with you in your Hotel.
    Please note: Many of the hotels’ systems automatically defaults to 4 people per room reservation (2 adults and 2 children). In the event you have less than 4 people in your travel party, please use the name(s) of your favorite character to fill open spots. From there, you will be able to book your reservations for the people in your party.
  • Link your Hotel reservation/confirmation number to your My Disney Experience account. This is located under My Plans > Link to Account > Link Hotel.

HOT Tip: If you have issues linking via the app your the desktop version

    1. Link your Theme Park tickets to each of your Family & Friends in your party.
    2. Make theme park reservations for each member of your party that has valid theme park admission.

 

How do I get MagicMobile Pass?

  • Once you have linked your hotel reservation, theme park admission and made your park reservation be sure you have the Disney MagicMobile downloaded on your phone.
  • This can be done via the MyDisney Experience App where you can choose from several Disney MagicMobile pass styles (even ones that animate upon use) and add it to the digital wallet on your eligible iPhone or other smart device.
  • Follow the steps in the app to create digital passes for other members of your party or to link their passes to your device.
