Not at all the same at DL. We avoid EMH parks at WDW, with the exception that we will hop over and take advantage of evening EMH after spending the day at another park. We take advantage of EMH at DL. DL/CA is a whole different dynamic. It is basically like one park and hopping is the norm (takes 5 minutes to get out of one and into the other). Because a lot of people just go back and forth, it really doesn't make that much difference. Unlike WDW, DL/CA draws a big local crowd, who often do not get there until later in the morning, and who don't have EMH. As such EMH and the first couple of hours in the morning are fantastic. You can get a ton of stuff done.
) FYI- the RSR FPs were running out around 12:30 or 1 last week the days we were keeping an eye on it. If you don't have the DL wait times app- get that one and you can keep an eye on the single rider wait times. We hit it several times when the wait was only 10 to 15 minutes. Our first night we wanted to do it after dark (beautiful) and we arrived and got into the parks after FP had run out for it, so we waited 20 minutes that time. We were going to do EMH for Anna and Elsa, but the day before decided to try to make the run on a non-EMH day to see how it went, and if that didn't work we would hit EMH for it the next day. Went fine, so we didn't need to do it at EMH the next day and since we were in the park until after 11:00 again, didn't use it. I still say EMH/magic mornings are great though, if you can get up to be there at 7:00 a.m.!!! We hit the parks probably around 8:10 or 8:15 last week (except Anna and Elsa day when we were there before rope drop), and still got a ton done in the mornings with short lines! Have a great trip!
