Crowds during EMH / MM

[Ride Junkie]

Just wondering if Disneyland tends to be busier on days where they have extra magic hour / magic mornings. On one hand, there will already be people in the park when it opens for everyone else at 8:00am. On the other hand, I wonder if people avoid the park on MM days. It just so happens we are going on a MM day and won't qualify for early entry. Any thoughts / experiences you'd like to share? Thanks.

While that type of logic typically applies to WDW, it doesn't really at DLR. You may want to avoid whichever park has early entry in the mornings, but by noon, it won't have any effect.

I've never noticed enough of a difference to even think about it. You'll have more people in, say, fantasyland (which is open during MM) but not necessarily in other areas that aren't open for MM. I wouldn't worry about this one

It makes a difference at rope drop, but after an hour, it evens out.

Fantasyland and Tomorrowland are the lands open for MM, so they'll have people already in them, but it's not a huge deal.

It's so much harder to park hop at WDW that it makes a difference there, but at DL, it's way easier and so most (not all, but most) people do it. So MM/EMH doesn't matter at all to crowdedness later in the day.

How busy is it during the 7AM MM? Are there really that many people up and ready to go that early?

7am EE/MM is pretty empty but 9am EE/MM is pretty crowded.
