Early Admission (MM/EMH/APEE) Super Thread

[mousireid]

We picked up our military tickets and am wondering when we exchange them at the main entrance booth (as you have to) will they give us official three day park hopper tickets eligible for MTTMM or another type of paper/card? We will be staying on site so will quailify for MM (EE)
Also does anyone have a decent printable Map of Disneyland and DCA? My maps always end up so dog eared we have to throw them away And I like to PLAN! WOOHOO DISNEY HERE WE COME!

You only get Mickey's ToonTown Morning Madness if you bought a package. Since you have separate tickets, you didn't buy a package and won't have access to that.

For MM, you'll show your room keycard and your ticket.

They will likely just give you the normal paper ticket.

You can customize and print your own map on the Disneyland website:
Log into the site
Click on My Favorites
Add your favorite attractions or select all
Scroll down to the bottom and select the print option...

It comes out pretty small, but it's an option!

Thank you for the replies. Ah well we'll get to Toontown anyway And those maps were great I am printing them off now! H ee!

The list of attractions that are open during MM needs a minor update.

It’s a Small World (Holiday) (IASWH) is open during MM. (That's correct. )

But It’s A Small World (IASW) is NOT open during MM, and should be added to the list with Casey Jr. and Storybook.

Thanks to DisneyJulieZ for the following confirmation:

I just got off the phone w/ Disneyland itself, and so I got their answer:

"iasw is NOT open during MM"

- From this post.

From the MM Super Thread by DLR29

In Fantasyland:
-Peter Pan's Flight
-Dumbo
-Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
-Alice in Wonderland
-Mad Tea Party
-Matterhorn Bobsleds
-King Arthur Carrousel
-Snow White's Scary Adventures
-Pinocchio's Daring Journey
-Sleeping Beauty's Castle Walkthrough
-It's a Small World (Holiday)* (need more confirmation)

NOTE: Casey Jr. Circus Train and Storybook Land Canal Boats are NOT open for MM and open at official park opening.

[DisneyJulieZ]

You're welcome, S.S. Columbia...and thanks so much for keeping this all updated! YEAH!

Did I tell you all that I LOOOOVE this board?!?

OP updated with IASW info

 

[Ottilie]

Does anyone know what time City Hall will open on a MM day? I want to pick up a birthday button first thing.

I assume City Hall opens when the park opens for MM.

So realistically how much can be done during MM, from the rides open in Fantasyland & Tomorrowland?
I'll be using my MM if everything goes to plan thursday 3rd September (thursday before Labor day)

What rides do you want to ride? (during MM)

& which ones do you NOT want to ride?


If you're at / near the front of the turnstile (& if you walk with a purpose), you can do:

- PP
- Dumbo
- Alice
- Matterhorn (both sides)
- (possibly the tea cups if little or no line)
- Toady
- Buzz
- Space Mt.

& pick up your first FP at SM at Gen. Adm. opening ?:00.

Thanks for the reply.

I certainly want to do -

Fantasyland
-Peter Pan's Flight
-Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
-Alice in Wonderland
-Snow White's Scary Adventures
-Pinocchio's Daring Journey
-Sleeping Beauty's Castle Walkthrough

Tomorrowland
-Buzz lightyear blasters
-Space mountain (no big deal if dont get to ride this as can grab a FP when open, i'll be riding alone anyway)

And possibly-

-Matterhorn Bobsleds
-King Arthur Carrousel

Happy to pass on tea cups, they'll no doubt make me want to throw up and Dumbo doesnt interest me either.
Star tours isn't open during MM always is it? and queing for Nemo is wasting MM time from what i seem to have read?

In my opinion, Nemo & Star Tours are time eaters & aren't an effective use of the hour (even if Star Tours is open for MM...& not sure if it is).

I'm not sure how Sleeping Beauty's Walkthru would affect MM touring....hopefully someone else will offer an opinion.

But given your comments, I would do the first 4....in order:

- PP first....always first. (& be one of the first few on).
- Alice (since you're skipping Dumbo).
- Matterhorn (one side or both sides).
- Toady

then you could do either:

- Carousel/Pinocchio/SnowWhite (or one or two of them)
- The Castle walk thru

But at :35-:45....head over to Buzz (because you could always ride Pinocchio & SW later in the day...not much of a line).

- Buzz (once or twice).
- SM at :50. (or FP it at :00)

If you don't FP SM & it's a few minutes before :00, then head over to the forward line at AdventureLand & be one of the first to FP Indy. (or ride it if you've FP'd SM).

Clear as mud?


BUT....the most important thing is to ride PP first (always first...& be one of the first one's on)...& ride the other 3 after PP in order. (then the rest will take care of itself).

Have a great time!

My son and I will be going to DL from 4/1 to 4/4 and will not need the voucher for MM for we are already staying at the Paradise Pier. If anyone has the same dates and needs it, please contact me.

Thanks

There's no voucher for Magic Mornings...it's just encoded on your ticket and can't be given away*. Are you thinking about Mickey's ToonTown Morning Madness?

Have fun at PPH! Be sure to use all the MMs that happen during your stay if you can!




*unless they've changed something drastically and recently!

Great help and very much appriciated

I haven't seen the Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough, but it sounds like it isn't necessary to see it during MM.

FWIW, I sent an e-mail to RideMax, and asked him about seeing the SBCW during MM, and here was his response:

"I believe you shouldn't have too much trouble visiting this whenever you find it convenient."

From the first post:

How? For onsite guests, each guest must show their "Key to the Magic" card. This is just a fancy name for your room key, which you can also use to charge in-park purchases. It is given to each member of your party at check-in with the dates of your stay and that person's name. You also need a valid source of admission ticket for entrance. For guests staying offsite, you enter just like you would normally and the MM is deducted from your ticket. For all guests, there is no extra piece of paper or voucher needed for MM. Just your ticket and if you are staying onsite, your room key.

 

[leazel]

Well, I must be confused with the difference between magic mornings & Toon town Morning Madness then. I better figure it out prior to going. The voucher I have is for Toontown Morning Madness. I never used it last year so I just gave it to someone who wanted it, along with left over food vouchers.

Thanks
