Extra Magic Hour?

Hi All,

In your seasoned expert opinions, is it better to go to a park during the EMH, or in the afternoon? Is the EMH really that much better than going at other times in the day?

Thanks!

IMO, don't ever go to a EMH park after about 10 am. History shows those days as VERY crowded! Take advantage of the EMH if you want to get up early, & then park hop to somewhere else. I personally stay away from the EMH park altogether.

EMH is great if you don't mind getting up early.

The park that has the EMH is usually the most crowded that day. So I would take advantage of the EMH and visit another park!

We had planned on taking advantage of EMH at the MK on Thursday May 13---I have already make PS at Liberty Tree Traven that evening for 4:15. Since it is a Thursday and it's in the middle of May do you still think it will be crowded??? Would you suggest that we change our PS to another day---like on Wednesday (we had planned on doing Epcot that day, but we could always change days)???

Last year we did EMH twice in June-- Monday at AK and Tuesday at MGM. Monday at AK was fine, but Tuesday at MGM was way too crowded by 10:00-11:00. We ended up hopping over to Epcot. Most likely we will avoid EMH this year.

I think the best use of EMH is at the MK if you have kids and want to ride the Fantasyland attractions. After that hop to another park if you can.

I always do the EMH. We hit all our favorite rides first (that are opened early) then by the time the crowds start to arrive, use fast pass on what we missed. We're usually out of the park by 11 or having an early lunch. Then later on that afternoon after a rest and swim, hit a park that didn't have EMH.
