Early ressie before park opens or EMH with later morning ressies

[PrincessesX3]

Which is better? My DC will be 6 and 2.5 when we go. Dh and I always did 8am ressies before park opens, such 8 am for CRT and be in fantasyland before others. Or for our next trip thinking using morning EMH and having a later breakfast ressie to utilize the emh and be able to see and do more. Anyone do this, any opinions?

We have done this the past 2 trips with our CRT ressies and we reallly like it. Our kids were the same age as yours the 2nd time we did it. We really enjoyed it for 2 reasons:

1) we didn't have to worry about finishing or rushing through an early ADR to make RD

and

2) it was nice to take a break after touring for 2 1/2 -- 3 hours and have a good sit down breakfast--we got to cool off and refuel for more touring!

We just had to make sure that the kids had something to eat early because they can't wait that long after getting up to eat. So we just use snack credits from our dining plan to buy them muffins @ our resort CS restaurant (one of us would go get muffins while the other was getting the kids ready for the day).

You should try it at least once to see if it works for you--we really like it!

By the way, I meant to comment, that we like to mix it up on our trips and do one or 2 before RD ADR's and then do one or 2 after RD ADR's for breakfast.
