Confused about effects of EMH on crowds

[LauraR]

I understood that unless you were taking advantage of morning EMH it was better to hit another park. Now that there are evening EMH's does that apply too? Or are the mornings not going to be that affected at those parks? Please lift my fog of confusion...

My guess is that the mornings in the parks that have an evening EMH may be less crowded than normal since people will stay away until later in the day. I think that these parks will not experience the afternoon drop off in attendance that I have come to expect but will instead get more crowded as the day goes on.

We stopped doing the EMH (except for AK where we simply walked around) in the morning since those parks got so crowded so quickly and then stayed that way. I started doing the 'day after EMH' routine since I think the parks are somewhat less crowded the day after an EMH. That said, the three extra hours at night will be neat for MK since at certain times of the year it is closed by nightfall, and for AK since it is never opened at night.

If you are not going to take advantage of the EMH, then I would go to a different park. I agree with what was said before, in that I don't believe that the parks that will be open late will be crowded in the morning. I am sure they won't begin getting crwded until later on in the afternoon. Again, if you don't plan on taking advantage of this, I would avoid these parks later on in the day.

In my opinion, the late evening deal is going to require more dodging of crowds - more park hoping inotherwords; however, the late evening will be nice every so often on a trip for us to hop on the rides that are often over crowded with little ones wanting to ride or just to look at the beautiful lights at night!
