Best day for Magic Morning?

[Nohal]

Just wondering if Thursday or Saturday is the better day to use the one magic morning I will have with my tickets.

Is one earlier than the other? I’ve found the earlier the MM, the less people seem to make it!

 

[Nohal]

Both days magic morning is at 8.

Saturday, because no one goes to Disneyland Saturday morning....way to crowded....hence, all the mulit day ticket holder sleep in or avoid Disneylaand for the day.

I vote for Saturday. But Thursdays aren’t bad if you’re worried about being too fatigued to get up early on Saturday. Tuesdays are the ones to avoid.

In June, my family will be at DLR Tues-Sat, I was planning on using our MM Tuesday and then doing a 7:10 seating at Plaza Inn during MM on Saturday. MM should be 7am every morning.

Should we use our MM on Thursday instead of Tuesday? I just figured Tuesday being our first day would make it easier to be there that early.

Saturday is normally 8AM regular opening which means a 7AM magic morning. The earlier the better. We have gotten a LOT done during that hour when we've gone on a Saturday.

I am following along. We are going in June (for first time since 1981), and have one MM to use with our 4 day ticket. At the moment we are planning on Sunday 3rd June for MM, then going on Monday/Wednesday/Friday for the other days, with the Plaza breakfast PPO for one of the days. We are WDW veterans but this is a whole new world to us

Magic Morning is only available at Disneyland Park on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday. Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday have Extra Magic Hour for Disney California Adventure which is only for those staying onsite at a Disneyland Hotel.

Tuesday MMs are generally considered to be the worst (I suspect that’s in large part because it falls earlier in most people’s trips, as it does for you - also, people who have the choice between Saturday and Tuesday seem to often pick Tuesday with the idea that it will be less crowded).

Anyway, I don’t know that it makes that much of a difference to where you should delay until Thursday - if it really is at 7am on Tuesday, hopefully it won’t be terrible, and it’ll definitely be easier to get up and going. Just be prepared that it might be a lot more crowded than you’d expect.

When we do MM at DL or EE at DCA we schedule a late breakfast at Carnation or Steakhouse 55 so we can take advantage of the low crowds in the morning. I can't bare to sit at breakfast when the park is empty. I'd suggest scheduling a 10:30 am "brunch" and taking advantage of the golden hours, especially if MM is 7 am. We have a breakfast bar or muffin on our way in and it holds us until the reservation. I like sitting on Main Street or SH55 enjoying my meal while the "sleep ins" arrive and I can say...we've done most of a full day in those few hours; now it's time to relax, enjoy the details of DL, and fill in the gaps with key MAXPasses.

We always try to use the first available during our trip. The further in to the trip we get, the more tired we are, which makes it hard to get up that hour early.

A whole new world indeed...

1981....trying to do the math....anyhow, the massive parking lot in front of Disneyland, is now gone, unless you own a pre 1960 Cadillac De Ville, ( you can find her in front of the fire station, she is one hot act) then there is exclusive parking for that vintage car model but as you will see, valet parking not so good for those Cadillacs ....anyhow, if you miss that friendly spiel of welcome to Disneyland from the Tram operator then you can catch the tram for that wonderful memory in Downtown Disneyland, yes, they now have a shopping downtown mall with all your needs to be serviced. DTD also offers a view of the backside of one of two attractions that has a backside at Disneyland, that being Indy Jones attraction. Switzer falls is still view-able and so is the same joke from your 1981 visit presented upon your departure from the many Jungle cruise jokes, which by the way, the biggest joke at Disneyland, Toontown exemplified that JC joke with a trolley car (removed) and a bounce house (removed) that belonged to Goofy. Goofy can be found roaming Disneyland Main Street area, which I read recently does not happen for the WDW masses. Masses of Folks wait in front of SLEEPING BEAUTY castle for rope so that rare family photo of the castle with no one else in the photo is very rare. Castle closed on Oct 7, 2001, for 7 years. 9/11 created security tents in front of the esplanade to the gates to prevent crime. One crime that is prevented is the re-sale of used multi day tickets, this is done by photographing the holders on the first day use of multi day ticket holders , which as a result offers spontaneous gate opening entry into Disneyland. Daily opening scheduled time is very seldom honored. Spontaneous are the rope drop runners who sprint to Peter Pan, so alas, gone is morning civility. Also gone from Disneyland is the restaurant to the left of the castle, Court of Angels, Capt Hook Galley, ( which by the way you may have seen all the construction on your 1981 visit) sky way attraction and gone is the oval-like loop of the Disneyland Railroad, which by the way will be the newest attraction when you arrive but still plenty of room on those train car benches ......and if I have done my math correctly.....there are plenty of benches all over Disneyland.

I can't decide whether this is a negative or positive but we will have an 8 hour time difference so will up ridiculously early. Staying up late is our problem

planning on Sunday 3rd June for MM

you'll want to rethink this plan. They do not have MM on Sundays. Its its Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday.

 

[azdisneylover]

Saturdays in June would be the best time to do MM because the lower tiered APs are blocked. (Deluxe and lower passes).

I thought it was MM at DCA on Sundays (according to the official website)?

Sunday at DCA is Extra Magic Hour, which is for DLR hotel guests.

EMH = hotel guests
MM = park hopper tickets

It’s kind of confusing that they have two versions of the same perk.
