Magic Kingdom is changing up their opening procedures. Starting on January 9, 2017 guests will be able to enter the park prior to opening and enjoy a morning stroll down Main Street. The Main Street Bakery will be open so guests will be able to grab a coffee and pastry. An all new welcome show will begin on the Castle Stage promptly at park opening. Guests will be able to see their favorite Disney characters perform prior to heading into the park for a day of fun.
