Review: Early Morning Magic at the Magic Kingdom

Posted on by AllEars
My husband and I had a short Walt Disney World vacation planned when I noticed that Disney was offering something new called Early Morning Magic.

We were told to be at the Magic Kingdom queues around 7:30am to check-in and we would then enter the park to be escorted to Fantasyland at 7:45.
