Early entry days in July

[tekmom]

Hi, does everyone recommend going to the parks for early entry in July? I know its going to be busy regardless, but would you do MK on early entry day or take your chances on another morning at regular opening? It looks like early entry days are: monday-epcot, tuesday-mgm, wednesday and friday-MK, and saturday-AK. As this is our first trip and we will be staying on property, I'm assuming we should do the early entry days? Would you and why or why not? By the way, kids are 8 and 13, so I can drag them just about anywhere. Thanks for any responses!

Going early is nice but if you stay on site i would also look into the 3 extra hours and night for resort guest ........Only have to contend with resort guest for rides at Disney................ I am more excited than my kids ............

Thanks! I'm mostly concerned about MK and early entry...I've read that it might be better to avoid that one on early entry day. I'm gonna lose my mind with all this planning and worrying...I need a vacation I don't have to think so hard about.

We always do early admission- even MK day and have had great luck. We have riden Buzz/space mountain/speedway and winnie the pooh all before the park opened to the public. Most people don't get up early and I think with the evening hours available this will be even more true.(a girl can dream can't she )

We went 2 years ago in July to WDW. We did the early entry. We were able to ride around 6 rides in that 1 hour. It was great. Other people have felt that it was too busy, but we did not feel that way at all. We are going this July and will enjoy the EMH! Have not done the evening hours, so we will give that a try this year also!
