Yep but having used them once or twice I can say I would not bother anyway. It is a couple of hours early morning and come normal opening time, the park is already a quarter to a half full. So you end up leaving anyway. Best advice is to visit each park the day after its magic hours day. The theary being that most Disney guests will be in another park taking advantage of the extra hours. Always worked for us

you can check out which days are going to have extra magic hours using the park calender on the wdw website, it also gives you opening times and special events for each park

i cannot post the link on here but for those of you who have used the itinerary planner, the link is on the same page

and then you can avoid the parks on those days when it'll be extra full with disney guests

We found this works well too! One thing to remember as well is that on the mornings where they do early magic hours they do not do the opening ceremonies! So if you are planning to see one make sure in advance that it is not an extra magic day or you will disappointed!

You also get the extra magic hours in the evening as well so keep an eye out for that. We did EPCOT a couple of years ago and it was had a nice relaxed feel about it so I would recommend it.
If you have hoppers it's worth hitting the early hours park, doing the rides you want to then hopping to one of the other parks.

I would say though, check the early hour schedule if you are not on site and avoid that park for that day.

You also get in early to water parks. Its great walking past que to get your lounger where you want it before the mad rush. We did all rides before 10am when they let everyone else in [msnwink][sporty]
