Benefit of non EMH day versus benefit of MM day

[MICKEYFIL]

We bought our passes and are going down in two weeks and will be there from Sunday the 9th of November till the 11th. We plan two days at DL and one at DCA. Given the present FP lines and all, is it better to make the Tuesday our DCA day given the fact it is a non EMH day versus going to DL on the Tuesday and benefiting from the MM hour?

I have been reading about people doing some rides in DCA and then going back to get a FP for RSR but I don't know how certain the availability will be when we return. Coupled with all of this is that we will be there for the first weekend of the holiday parade at DL which makes me think it might be better to go to DCA on the Sunday and avoid potential crowds at DL for the parade.

Any advice would be appreciated.

In my opinion EMH shouldn't be the most important thing for a guest to worry about. I think you can still get enough done by going to the park that is not having EMH. Take the extra hour to get some additional sleep of have a nice breakfast.

However, I think the DCA EMH is better than the one at Disneyland since there can be many more guests at the DL EMH compared to the DCA EMH.

My advice...
Sunday go to Disneyland then when it gets crowded head back to the hotel to rest. Then come back to Disneyland when the sun starts to go down.
Monday do DCA with EMH. Then back to the hotel to rest then back to DCA at night for some rides and the World of Color
Tuesday could be your park hop day. Maybe start at DL's EMH?

Just make sure whatever you decide that you are at the entrance of the park 15-30 minutes before it opens.

It depends on if you can actually make EMH. My family draaaaagggsss in the morning, so a 10am start is good for us. There's no way we'll ever make it at rope drop at 9am. If you can make it EMH ropedrop, then take advantage of it if you're staying at a Disney hotel. Otherwise, go to the other park.
