Extra Magic Time
Quick note on Extra Magic Time: the 8 AM slot is reserved for guests staying at a Disney hotel during their stay, plus a handful of partner packages. Everyone else loses that edge, but you can still claw some of it back by arriving just before Disneyland Park's public opening, ready to walk fast toward Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast.
