Extra Magic Time

Heads up: 8 AM sits inside the Extra Magic Time window, the early entry granted to Disney hotel stays. Without that perk you cannot be in line at this time. As a day-ticket guest, the smart move is to arrive twenty minutes before Disneyland Park opens to the public, badge in hand, and head straight to Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain at rope drop.
