EMH yes or no?

Should i be going to the park with the EMH or avoiding that park because it will be more crowded? I've read arguments for both, what do ya'll think?

Are you doing EMH or coming in after? I use EMH on my first day then just go to either park it makes no difference for me.I guess it would also depend on how many days you are going.

Do whatever works best for your schedule. It's not like WDW. With the parks so close together, the crowds are very fluid.

We stay onsite and always use our early entry. From there we sometimes stay for a bit to let rope drop clear in the other park, then head over if that's where we really wanted to be that day.

In general, DCA early entry is a lot more valuable than DL early entry since offsite guests don't get early entry to DCA.

If you have EMH, use it!

If you don't, it's helpful to start at the "opposite" park if you have no other reason to do otherwise, but it doesn't really made a difference after the first hour or so.

EMH is great if you go to the parks during busy summer days. By the time the crowds & the intense heat hit, we have already done our must-dos & can start relaxing & taking it easy.

We are staying on site and have three-day hoppers, which factors into this. One day Dland EMH/MM, two days EMH at CA. If I had only one day, I might approach this differently, depending on which park opens early that day.

I think you are confused as I do not think anyone on this board suggests avoiding the park with EMH. I think you may have misinterpreted some suggestions.

What many of us do suggest is that if you arrive at rope drop or during the first hour then:

o It is best to start at the park without EMH

o DL is less sensitive to this because only FantasyLand and TomorrowLand are open for EMH so you should start your day "to the left" in Adventureland/Frontierland/NOS/CC. There you will be on a level playing field with everyone else.

If you arrive to the parks late (1-2 hours after RD) it does not matter which park you start at or go to.

one hour after EMH.....to the left is heaven......which is sad....because not a whole of folks there that second hour in Disneyland
