Answer 1

Magic Morning (formerly "Early Entry") at Disneyland is quite a bit different than the "Extra Magic Hours" feature at Walt Disney World that many people are familiar with. It is offered only at Disneyland Park, and not at Disney's California Adventure.

Rather than being limited to Disney resort guests only, Magic Morning is available to those who have an admission ticket which includes the "Magic Morning" feature. Magic Morning is included with 3- 4- and 5- day park hoppers that are purchased from the Disneyland web site, and also with certain travel packages. Guests do not necessarily have to stay at the Disney resorts - a number of local "Good Neighbor" hotels are also included. The feature can only be used on one day.

At this point in time (subject to change without notice) guests at any of the Disney resorts (Disneyland Hotel, Disney's Grand Californian, or Paradise Pier) may take advantage of Magic Morning any day that it is offered during their stay. They must show their resort id at the gate.

Magic Morning is generally offered every Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. It allows guests to enter Fantasyland and Tomorrowland one hour before park opening. The following attractions are usually available (subject to change without notice):

    Alice in Wonderland

    Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters

    Dumbo the Flying Elephant

    Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage

    King Arthur Carrousel

    Mad Tea Party

    Matterhorn Bobsleds

    Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

    Monorail

    Peter Pan's Flight

    Pinocchio's Daring Journey

    Snow White's Scary Adventures

    Space Mountain

During the Magic Morning hour some shops and restaurants on Main Street will also be open.

"Mickey's Toontown Morning Madness - Interactive Guest & Character Experience" is another "extra" type of feature that is offered. Unlike Magic Morning, this feature is only available to guests with certain WDTC (Walt Disney Travel Company) travel packages.

Guests can use this feature on one day of their visit to enter Toontown an hour early. (Toontown typically opens at least one hour after the rest of Disneyland opens.) During this hour there's a Toontown Citizenship ceremony led by Mayor Mickey Mouse, and there's lots of characters around to greet guests, sign autographs, or show off their respective homes. This feature is available Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.

It IS possible to attend "Magic Morning" and "Mickey's Toontown Morning Madness" on the same day, since Magic Morning begins an hour BEFORE the park opens and Mickey's Toontown Morning Madness begins WHEN the park opens.
