Early Morning Magic?

[rteetz]

It looks like yet another hard ticket add on for the MK...

I hope it's not another hard ticket event. If it is, this is getting silly.

The fact that it says Fantasyland and not Magic Kingdom makes me think it won't be hard ticket.

It says table service, but that makes little sense.

I would hope it's some sort of streetsmosphere thing, but that's added cost without added income, so I'm not holding my breath.

All of those little blurbs coming out really do look like we're approaching the end of EMH in it's current incarnation. The table-service mention does make me wonder if this is a type of experience where you can stroll earlier in Fantasy Land to do the very popular Mine Train and Princess Hall and then grabbing breakfast at BOG or CRT?
Frankly, I can't wait for Disney to come out and make an official announcement instead of teasing everyone. It would also be super helpful to finish my planning for our next trip in September.

Night shift please. Midnight to 4AM sweet.

I wonder if this ties into the rumors about the MK opening show going away. Maybe this will replace it but at a fee.

When we were there in February, we had EMH on a Friday morning at MK. We were there a half hour before rope drop and waited for the morning show. It didn't happen. They dropped the rope and everyone did the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train dash. We were headed towards Adventureland but were stopped on our way by CMs saying that the only area open early was Fantasyland. We were very confused considering that this information was not anywhere I had read, although I'm relatively new to all this so maybe I missed it. So it leads me to believe that maybe in an effort to avoid staffing the entire park they are "rebranding" EMH as Early Morning Magic Fantasyland. Maybe?

Makes me think, if they are planning on replacing EMH with paid events in the am and pm now, how are they planning on adding a resort fee ( another rumor)?? How can you charge for perks that are disappearing fast?.?

Adventureland is closed during AM EMH. Only Fantasyland and Tomorrowland are open.

I'd be disappointed in this if its a pay for experience (it has to be).

I would just have to plan our visits around this, as I wouldn't want our RD experience to be diminished any further.

In Disney's eyes if there's less than 20,000 people in the park it's not worth fully opening.

Ok, thank you, wasn't sure about that. Does that include the Haunted Mansion Area and the area around The Hall of Presidents? (That area was also closed that's why I'm asking?) Thank you if you get a chance to respond... Curious if AM EMH also don't get the welcome show usually too. New to this.

Yes, Liberty Square (Haunted Mansion & Hall of Presidents), Frontierland, and Adventureland are closed during AM EMH. I can't remember about the show during AM EMH. I don't think it always does.

I can't wait to see them package one of the roller coasters during Wishes as a hard ticket event....

"Catch unbelievable views of the fireworks as you whiz by on 7DMT, only $39!" (Free before and afterwards)

And to me... it sounds like the opposite, as in, Disney sees that EMH for resort guests are popular, so on non-EMH days they can offer (essentially) EMH for an additional fee.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

I'm actually intrigued by this one. We often will do a pre-park opening ADR partly to get into the parks early and get to experience them with little to no crowds. If this was featured for a reasonable fee (i.e., lower than $149/person) I would consider doing it and get to knock out Fantasy land without using FP+ on those attractions, etc. ... plus I believe this showed up in the same area as like dessert parties so I wonder if food would be included too

 

[Pemeberly]

Ba-da-dum dum dum

Another one bites the dust...

 

[jade1]

My guess is there are early risers that would do this, and if its on non EMH days like the night one-its just another option for guests.

 

[dlavender]

I just don't like that they will be diminishing the value of my ticket, if I go on a day where this new add on is offered.

 

[HopperFan]

Off another thread as showing on the HUB .... this in itself makes no sense so waiting for the other shoe to drop. How much? Will it include breakfast? Will they still allow pre-park breakfast ADRs? Is this in essence a purchased FP+?

That's a good point. The night one has no effect really as the guests are already there.

I suspect this will be avoided like another EMH gate by many-choosing another park instead that morning.
