Only those staying at Disney owned resorts and some third party ones like Shades of Green are eligible for the new Early Entry benefit that replaces Morning Extra Magic Hours, which ended in 2020. Early Entry is available 30 minutes prior to regular theme park hours at every theme park every day.

A valid theme park ticket is of course required for entry and currently a Theme Park Reservation is also required.
