What do you think of this After Fireworks Dessert Party? Would you try it out? Let me know in the comments!
What time do they rope drop for the general public at Animal Kingdom when they have early Magic Hours? It appears to me they are letting early Magic in at 7:30am. Can we get in before 9am then? Do they let the public in early as well or do we wait until 9am?
They may let the general public through the gates as early as 7:30 But you will be hrded to a holding area until official opening to e. Resort guests are sent left once inside the park and must have their Magic Band scanned to prove they are staying on property before being allowed further.
