DHS/Toy Story Land "Early Morning Magic" (EMM) FAQ & Discussion

[SaintsManiac]

I feel like they need to rethink the “FP access until 10 am” compensation given that most people are heading to breakfast for some chunk of the 9-10 window.

Indeed

This is not a good resolution at all. I would push for more.

Early Morning Magic Extended at Both Magic Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios

But they weren’t extended at HS. Still only until the end of Aug, which it has been for a couple weeks now.

Old news that for whatever reason some sites are pretending is NEW news today. Sigh.

IMO since I’ve seen it on a few blog/news feeds, it’s just a random Friday afternoon Disney press release stating something that was already available (as us on this thread know all too well) but is likely done for marketing/advertising purposes. We all know there is zero chance DHS EMM gets any new dates beyond the 8/28 already available.

Me too! Dang it I went to check to see if more times were added to 8/26 but nope

I would be inclined to agree with you, except why would Disney release a press release about dates that they aren't booking right now? I'm thinking someone at wdwnt (the first place I saw it today) noticed the new blue dates at MK and got all excited without realizing they can't be booked or something. I don't know, it's a mystery.

I'm not seeing any dates pass 8/28 for HS, and nothing pass 8/27 is bookable for MK.

Yes, exactly. It's old news and they didn't even realize you can't book the September MK dates.

Or push breakfast back an hour to compensate or give a free lunch voucher something

Sorry for any confusion, guys. The August and September dates for both locations were new to us - didn't mean to cause a ruckus!

Is there a thread about extra morning hours for hollywood studios? I will be going in June with my kids (3.5 and 1.5) and my father. We got the EMM for MK one of the days but haven't been able to get EMM for HS. What is the overall thought of EMH for HS if we don't get EMM? Will it be so crowded it won't be worth the early arrival? I don't think my son (3.5) will even want to go on SDD but I was thinking it would be fun to be in the land before it got super crowded. We are staying at BC and were thinking about going to the EMH on the 2nd.

I'm still stalking the site in hopes that Fridays will be added for April. Do I even have a chance?

 

[M SH]

I’m still hoping they will offer for May 1st.. but at this point it seems highly unlikely..
this is my HS day and I couldn’t move it. Too bad it’s the only Wednesday in May they decided not to offer this.
We were hoping to try this but it doesn’t seem we will get to ever, considering after swge, this will probably be discontinued.

keep checking. Plans change and they may add the 7:00 slot as well, if they haven't already

Are there Photopass Photographers our for EMM meet and greets?
