Early morning magic questions

[Tiki Sean]

We ended up having breakfast about 9:05 or so and ate for a half hour. We didn't rush to another attraction at 9 since my son was feeling sick after riding the Mine Train 9 times. The cast members were all so friendly.

Last time we did it we did...

• 7:45-9:00
  • 7DMT x 7
  • PP x 3
  • Pooh x 2
• 9:00-9:30
  • We then headed to Haunted Mansion and were LITERALLY the first ones on a bit before 9AM
  • Then we fit in Splash Mountain
• 9:30-10:00
  • Went to breakfast; plenty of time to eat before 10am, and we took a cup of coffee to go as we left.

We felt it was totally worth it and would do it again.

Generally curious about disney photographers and emm. i know the goal is to get on over to the rides, but would this be a good time to try to get some photos on main street in front of the castle without the crowds??

Contrary to a lot of Trip planning sites, we almost always take advantage of extra magic hours. Breakfast is typically an apple or breakfast bar while waiting for the bus.. We get to the gate prior to EMH rope drop and hit all the big attraction rides several times before the regular hours allow other guests in. Even after the regular hour gates open, you will still have time to get some big rides in... you can hit all the rides (sometimes more than once) up until 1030 or 11.. then it gets fairly crowded, just in time for lunch.. preferably a sit down.

They are out but honestly, with the crowds entering for
CP, CRT and BOG it's far from without crowds.

This is talking about EMM. Totally different from EMH

Ditto this.

If we decide to wait on purchasing tickets to EMM until we're already AT wdw, do we have to purchase them at the park? I assume we couldn't get them from the concierge desk at our resort. Can we get them at any park or does it have to be at MK?

I believe you can purchase from Concierge. When it first began there were reports of some folks getting it free when they went to Concierge for other things so it leads me to believe they can sell the tickets too.
