Hi guys I'm travelling through the night on our trip to arrive early to hotel Cheyenne if I arrive in time can I use extra magic hours on the day of arrival? I had wanted to book a character breakfast that first day to be advised I can't - any help would be gratefully received
Yes, you can collect your park tickets from your hotel reception from about 7am onwards and then enter the park at 8am at the start of Early Magic Hours. You won't be able to check into your room until later in the afternoon though (although if by some slim chance your room isn't currently occupied and is therefore ready for you, they will give you your room when you arrive at 7am).
You aren't entitled to a breakfast on your first day though, you get one breakfast for every night of your stay, your last breakfast being the morning you check out. McDonalds in Disney Village opens at 8am so you could grab a breakfast from there and eat it whilst walking down to the parks if you want to get as much EMH time as possible.
I know all the info I've given you here is accurate because I had this exact conversation with guest services last week! Hahaa!
If you are desperate for breakfast on arrival, can you pay extra for it? You can in New York and Disneyland Hotels (although it is now prohibitively expensive).
Grab a croissant from Starbucks in the Disney village
