Extra magic hour (ie. early entry) is only
good for onsite guests, including Swan and Dolphin. They have been enforcing this rule lately.....we're just back from
a 9/12 - 9/17 visit and had to show our resort key for EMH at AK, MGM and MK.
Here are the parks and days for the extra hour: AK - Monday & Friday, MK - Thursday & Sunday, MGM - Tuesday & Saturday, Epcot - Wednesday. I may have
the Saturday /Sunday mixed up between MK and MGM, but I think that's it. And to answer you final question, we find it's worth it....just another adventure!! Plus we can get back to the pool quicker!!!

Early Entry is a benefit for Guests staying on-site only. If you are off-site, you cannot get in early. Resort IDs are checked at the gates.

As for early-entry days ... they are the same all year round:

Sunday - Magic Kingdom
Monday - Disney's Animal Kingdom
Tuesday - Disney-MGM Studios
Wednesday - Epcot
Thursday - Magic Kingdom
Friday - Disney's Animal Kingdom
Saturday - Disney-MGM Studios

During very busy times, it's worth it to go early, since you can often "knock off" quite a few of the more popular rides and attractions before the parks open to the general public. During the slower times, it's not as advantageous, but it's still a nice way to get a head start on the day.
