7 or 8AM Magic Morning?

[CharleneTheDM]

Hi all!

I've posted in the August thread but I would love to get more opinions and ideas.

So, I'm counting down to making my dining reservations 60 days out soon, soo excited!
My dates are August 10 to August 18.

Originally I was planning on doing MM on my first park day on 8/11 (Saturday), which is a blockout date for Deluxe passholders and it's the day after I land, so I'll have the most energy!

However, I just realized that Saturday summer hours seem to be 9AM-12AM instead of 8AM-12AM on weekdays. So MM starts at 8AM, and I'm worried that more people will show up on Saturday morning because park opening is later.

Should I use my MM on Tuesday 8/14 instead? It's not a blockout date but MM will be at 7AM and the Crowd Calendar says that it's "It Alright" and that it's a "best bet". Do less people show up that early? What if the locals head over before the kids go back to school?

What would you personally do? I'm soo torn!

Locals don't do 7am magic mornings. I would definitely do the 7am magic morning during the week as opposed to the 8am magic morning on a weekend.

if using maxpass on your trip, then use all the fresh engery for mM on Saturday, nothing like a fresh start in a fresh park. Groggy MM are the worse, you stand their numb at the rope....what....what.....

7 am MM is much nicer as more people do not get up that early!

^^ This - getting up early is rewarded.

7am MM's are the BEST!!

7am MM ABSOLUTELY! But make sure you get up that morning, don’t be late. 7am MMS are the best (They feel like the worst when you get up but then when you’re in the park it’s totally worth it.)

I have gone in Aug with the 7am MM one year and an 8am MM another. I would go with the 7am, there were less people and we got way more done. The 8am definitely had more people and we didn't get as much done.
