Emh

[babywewe]

Question about the EMH hours. I'm confused. On the disney web site the calendar says EMH's and the park which has the EMH's. Is that the EMH in the morning or night?

 

[Dustmouse]

You're in luck! It's both morning and night! Depending on the season, various parks open up to one hour early and stay open up to three hours late.

When you are in the calendar click on Extra Magic Hours (on any day and for any park) and it will bring up a list for each month and indicate what parks have EMH in the morning and which ones have EMH at night.

For example, this is what shows for May:

May 2006

Magic Kingdom® Park - May 4, 11, 18, 23, 25, 30
Epcot® - May 2, 9, 16, 21, 28

That's the fact, Jack!

How accurate is the Disney web site? They don't list EE as being part of the AK EMH, yet other sites do....

 

[babywewe]

WOW i need i'll need a mid day nap for that 2am MK trip! Is the park empty at 12-2am? I would imagine it to be empty but i'v heard EMH's at night are busy?
Which is true?

The later the emh, the less crowded it usually is. However, there's also more chance that you won't want to get up early the next day for prime morning touring too.

While "small details" (like which rides are open for EMH) may not always be up to date...
the HOURS (as long as we're talking within the next 2 weeks) are very accurate.

The farther "out" you go (longer than 2 weeks ahead) are more "subject to change" than the more current times.

Stupid question - where do you get the EMH & EEH?? For the EMH can you just walk in with your ticket??

Here's how EMH works for all parks.

Look up the POSTED open and close times for any day, any park.
Only WDW resort guests staying on-property will be allowed EHM privileges and it COSTS NOTHING EXTRA to attend the EMHs.
There are slightly different situations for MORNING and EVENING EMH's.

-------MORNING EMH FACTS--------------------------------------
If it is a MORNING EMH, then WDW resort guests staying on-property will be allowed entry to THAT park on THAT day starting ONE HOUR before the posted opening time.
At least ONE person in your party should have a room key-card with them (sometimes EACH person needs to show one) to verify your current hotel status and gain entry.
So, only WDW resort guests will be ALLOWED INTO the park.
Once inside, only selected attractions will be open.
See the official WDW website for the latest attractions that will be open during EMH.

-------EVENING EMH FACTS--------------------------------------
If it is a EVENING EMH, then WDW resort guests staying on-property will be allowed to stay and ride attractions at THAT park on THAT day for THREE HOURS after the posted closing time.
You do NOT have to be in the park BEFORE scheduled closing time.
You CAN enter the park at any time during EMH and still get a wrist-band.
You can leave and re-enter the park at will (just like any normal time).

(So, YES, if MK is sched. to close at midnight, the EMH will run til 3AM! Yep, that's 3 in the morning. No, its not a mistake, that would be 3 full hours after the posted time. 3AM for a posted 12mid close-time. 3AM, yes sir!)

EACH guest (except for very small children) will need to show a room key-card to a CM at special "EMH kiosks" set up in various locations throughout the park, and a wristband will be snapped on by the CM to each adult and child. Children older the 3 will be issued a room key when you check in if they are listed on your ressie. If they are not listed you will have problems if they don't get issued a room key.Children over approx. 3 years will be issued a room key when you check in. Make SURE the check-in desk issues each one a room-card.
The ride CMs will check these at each attraction before allowing guests to enter the queue.
So, even though non-resort guests may still be INSIDE the park, only those with wrist-bands will be allowed to ride any open EMH attractions.
See the official WDW website for the latest attractions that will be open during EMH.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
You can enter the parks for EMH EVENINGS anytime... during "regular" hours, or even during the actual extended EMH hours.
This 1-hour morning EMH and 3-hour evening EMH rule applies at all 4 parks. Enjoy!
