EMH or No?

I've seen some advise take advantage of EMH, especially AM. And others say stay away from parks on those days. Opinions?

Most of the advice I've seen is yes, take advantage of the early EMH, get as much done as you can, then once the Park officially opens and starts to fill up, hop over to a different Park. That's assuming you have Park Hoppers, of course. I wouldn't really know since we are NOT morning people and rarely make the morning EMH's. This trip with the advent of FP+ though, I think I might have to bite the bullet and set that alarm!

We LOVE EMH, typically we use the ones that allow the park to stay open later vs the early morning.

Same here. We have PH but have never been rope drop people. Usually got there when we got there. Do not like setting an alarm on vacation but what do you do!

We tend to avoid a park during EMH.

If you can't get up early enough to make it to rope drop, then you definitely should avoid the parks that have morning EMH, because you won't get any benefit from it.

~We only take advantage of morning EMH on departure day. During late summer, it's super hot and humid during the day but summer nights at Disney are fabulous, so we always use evening EMH!

~With that said, this may change if we decide to go with park hoppers this time. If we plan to visit another park in the evening than I will go to the morning EMH park.

~Also, the morning EMH park is only worth it if you arrive before rope drop to maximize that that golden first hour! If you don't arrive on time, you will be better off visiting a non morning EMH park. Have fun!

We always have, and use, hoppers so for us EMH is a yes. We're prepared to hop out of the am EMH park as soon as we feel it's too crowded. For pm EMH we usually arrive after 4 pm, just as many parade watchers are leaving the park.
