Disney Early Morning Magic

[Disneychick75]

Hi everyone, I booked this because we're staying offsite. Would you please share your experience? Thank-you!

Magic Kiingdom or Hollywood Studios? We did the Studios and thought is was well worth it. I would not bother with the MK one because the Mine Train and Peter Pan are not that interesting for multiple rides, IMHO. We don't do character meets.

Thank-you, I booked for MK. We decided to make the trip last Friday for Jan 20-26-sort of last minute. My husband and I are bring ing our 3 year old grandson and my thinking is we could ride things, like the Mine train that no longer has FP availability.

He'll like the Mine Train. FYI, just in case, the only other open ride is Peter Pan.

I thought Winnie the Pooh was also open. Did they change that?

No, you're right. Pooh is open. I forgot.

Make sure he's 38 inches for Mine Train! I was thinking about the height requirement - kinda wondering if 38in was iffy for a 3yr old. Google says avg 3 yr old boy is under 38.

He was 42 inches tall last time we measured. Thanks for the heads up though!

We have done both and absolutely loved both!!!

MK we did with my brothers family, we he 4 children total and 2 that were unable to ride mine traindo to height. (We knew this before booking)

We would take turns riding the rides with the little ones while the big kids (and adults) rode mine train.

I think I rode each of the 3 rides 4 times during the event. My 3 yo niece did 11 mine trains and 1 pooh and 1 Peter Pan. It was awesome.

Also when you eat breakfast there are tables to the far left that oversee small world, it's really fun to sit there and watch the boats go by!

Easywdw had a great review of this. We are doing it in June and I can't wait! My plan is to ride rides until close to 9, then get in line to meet Rapunzel and Tiana at Park opening then go eat breakfast before that closes at 10.

We did the EMM at MK back in October and absolutely loved it! We rode the 7DMT 6 times, Winnie the pooh 3 times, and Peter Pan 3 times. At 9:00 am we were first in line for Haunted Mansion and then we hoped on Its a Small World by 9:20 (which is one of my son's favorites) and then we went right next door around 9:40 for the breakfast buffet, which was delicious and had several things to choose from. We sat by the window where my son could watch the boats from Its a small world and then we rode it again around 10:10 still with no line. We had our fastpasses start at 10:00, 11:00, and 12:00 for POC, JC, and Splash Mountain. We made sure to hit our first fast pass around 10:40 that way when it was over our second fast pass window had opened, and then after our second fast pass ride we rode the Flying Carpets while waiting for about 30 minutes before our 3rd fast pass came open. This was one of the best experiences ever if you plan your day right and have the fast passes line up right. By 12:30 that day we had rode 19 rides and were leaving the park for a break back at the room. Well worth the experience for us since we had a little extra money at the time!

We did EEM at MK on 9/6 and we LOVED IT!!! Mine Train, Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh and the Carousel were all open on that morning. We got to the gate by 7:30am and were let in at 7:45am. We did the rides first and we were able to ride 7DMT 8 times, Peter Pan 6 times and Winnie the Pooh 6 times - they do make you get off and go back to the line to get back on, but they let us stay on WTP. There were absolutely zero lines, so hopping right on the rides over and over was fun. We were so happy to have gotten so many rides in on 7DMT and PP, since those 2 get crazy during regular park hours.

Just before 9am, we went to Pinocchio's Village Haus for the breakfast and it was great. The buffet had a nice selection, with a separate coffee/tea table. The food was fresh and the french toast was our favorite. It was not crowded at all - we actually felt like we were the only ones in there. The whole event was well worth it for us and we are hoping they extend it through the rest of the year, because we will definitely do it again when we go back in September, if it is offered.

Not currently. It was removed from the website shortly after the MK version was extended again recently.

I love your plan and will check FP availability to see if it's possible for me to duplicate your FPS for our trip.

We signed up for the $70 each Disney Early Morning Magic - Fantasyland so we can ride a few things early and eat at Pinnochio house. Has anyone done that before? How did it go? What did you think of the Breakfast Buffet? Was it still very crowded on the rides? It's kind of a lot of money, but we splurged a bit. We don't go to Disney very often, so thought we'd do something special. I'd very much appreciate any info. or tips. Thanks so much!

I've been trying to make a plan for our morning after EMM and this seems perfect!

This was one of the highlights of my trip last November. The thing to keep in mind is that they open the restaurant at 8:15 and keep it open until 10:15. So we got in the park, rode the mine train until we got bored with it, rode the other rides they had open and by that time it was about 8:20. We grabbed a plate of breakfast, then headed towards liberty square, rode HM right as it opened then went to Splash Mountain and rode it with no wait. We went back to Fantasyland and ate another plate of breakfast at around 9:30, and by that time crowds were building up. It was really fun!

We did EMM at MK on 11/15. It was awesome. I was really stressed because we were running late - I don't think we caught the bus from AKL until around 8:00 am and I looked at the app to check wait times and saw 7DMT at a half hour so I was really bummed. But we got to MK and were let in and got our band and the park was still sparse for pictures and there was no wait for any ride, so don't check the app! We got a family picture in front of the castle, we had 4 adults and 1 child age 6 almost 7. 7DMT, PP, WTP and the carousel were open. We rode 7DMT i think 6 times. It was almost 9:00 am by the time we got to PP so I asked to go thru the queue as my family had not yet experienced the new queue and they let us. We entered through the FP line for 7DMT so I'm not sure if you use FP for PP or not normally. I'm pretty sure by the time we got to WTP the park was open due to our late arrival. We rode a few more rides and then went to breakfast maybe 20 minutes before 10:00am. The food was plentiful and hot. There were families that came in after us, no one rushed us out.

To sum up, I loved it. I thought it was worth the $$ spent. I would seriously consider it for any park Disney offered. A cast member told my nephew the record for riding the 7DMT was 15 or 18 times in a row, so he kept repeating that he needed to beat that record LOL. My tip would be to set multiple alarms to ensure you get there timely and don't miss out
