BOG PPO reservations on Early Morning Magic Day

[sweetyk83]

Planning our trip has been super frustrating with so many changes being made after dining reservations opened up. My latest problem is that on the morning I made BOG PPO breakfast reservations they decided to have EMM hours.
My sole reasoning for this reservation was to *hopefully* get some photos in front of the castle with minimal people around and to get to 7DMT with a minimal line.

How much will EMM hours affect these things?
Is it worth it to keep the ressie anymore?
Thanks in advance!

There are many posts that state EMM has minimal effect. Folks have been able to get photos with no problem as most EMM people head straight back to Fantasyland. You'll still be ahead of the RD crowd for 7D.

It's up to you if you want to pay for an expensive meal just to get photos and the front of the line.

We did Early Morning Magic on a sold out day in May. The CM "said" the limit was 200. I can believe that as it seemed as there were more CMs than guests! There was never a wait for the rides, we ate twice, yogurt and fruit at 8:30 and a hearty breakfast at 9:40. Both times there were only 3 or 4 other families dining at the same time we were. We watched the "running of the bulls" coming down mainstreet at rope drop, but the majority of the Early Morning Magic folks were already leaving Fantasyland for other area of the parks. So I wouldn't think the event has much impact on PPO guests. Josh from easywdw has a review of the event on his website. He also maintains EMM has no effect on empty park pictures or 7DMT.

We have a PPO at crystal palace I booked 180 days out and now that is an EMM day too. Glad to hear this won't affect us too much. Still wondering if we can do a SDMT after breakfast (line isn't too long already) or just go straight to space mountain instead.
