“Hi LeRoy,
That's an awesome question. The answer is the MagicBand! Your resort reservations are linked to your MagicBands through your My Disney Experience account, and, during Extra Magic Hours, you must scan your MagicBand to enter the park early. Or, during evening Extra Magic Hours, you must scan your MagicBand at any rides or attractions. If you don't have a valid resort reservation linked to the band, you won't be able to enter.

If you are staying at the Swan and Dolphin or at Shades of Green, which also offer the Extra Magic Hours benefit, you will need to show your resort ID.
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel, LeRoy. Please come back again with any other questions you have as you plan your Walt Disney World vacation. We're always glad to help.
Enjoy!
