Early Morning Magic with new MK opening procedure

[KrazeeK120]

I have tickets for Early Morning Magic on my upcoming trip. How does the entrance procedure for this event work now that everyone is allowed onto Main St. at 7:45?

We have EMM booked, too. I didn't realise that everyone can enter the park that early so I'm definitely following along here to hear answers.

You check in with the CM on the left-hand side and, once they've checked your reservation, they'll give you a piece of paper that will get you through the ropes where the regular guests are held. It won't affect your EMM at all.

Same as always except the entrance is different. You'll head to cms that will scan your ticket and allow you to proceed

Do they do the welcome show before this still?

 

[GADisneyDad14]

From what I've read there's actually a small benefit to the EMM folks with the new setup. With the old procedures, the rope drop crowd would be taking over by 8:45/8:50ish and your EMM "benefit" would be done. Now they're holding people in the hub until right around 9, so you can likely get better use out of that last 10-15 minute EMM window.

I love EMM by the way, it's great!

Check-In for EMM and Early ADRs is the little bridge just before the entrance to Adventureland that goes to Liberty Square near the Christmas Shoppe.

Guests then go up the walkway on the left side of the castle to access Fantasyland.

The only welcome show now is the new one at 8:55 AM on the Castle Forecourt Stage.

No more train? Is this every morning or just emm mornings?

Hope to make it over to the RD ceremony but is it worth missing some of EMM for?

"Magic Kingdom Welcome" "appears" to be permanently retired-time will tell.

MKW has been replaced by "Let The Magic Begin".

They have a new welcome show now and it's inside the park at the castle stage. The train welcome show is no more

Went to EMM last week:
- After security go left.
- We were all scanned before we went through ticket scanners on an iPad and a EMM wristband put on us.
- We all lined up at the ticket scanners.
- The finally let us scan and move up to tunnel under train.
- Train show is gone.
- Very surprised we were not let in to park until 7:50 am.
- Did not see any other guests being let in to the park with us.
- At HUB go left, CM's with scanners to catch uncaught folks and adding wristband.
- Or show your wristband.
- CM blocking Liberty Square and sending you up walk.
- Enter Fantasyland and start EMM. Show wristband for each attraction and breakfast.
- We were enjoying EMM when they would have had Castle Welcome Party and let folks enter lands.

The train show is gone, but(someone correct me if I am wrong) only because the trains are being rehabbed over the next 3 months.

According to this thread, the new show is permanent (it's for security reasons):

Moving guests into the park and spreading them out is Disney's goal. It isn't security or the train rehab.

What is this EMM? How do you get tickets? Do they cost additional to your park ticket?

Early Morning Magic. It's under dining reservations on Disney's website because there is a buffet breakfast included. Let's you in the park at 7:45 with unlimted access to 7DMT, PP, Pooh, and Carousel. Yes, you also need park admission.

The tickets are not cheap but hopefully give a chance to enjoy a few rides before the crowds descend.

I was probably with you Hopper, my son and I tried EMM on Tuesday the 24th. I didn't like not getting in until 7:50...what were we paying per minute?? I enjoyed it until Mine Train went down after our first round. They gave us FP+ for it until noon, so we still enjoyed it more than we would have.
