Extra Magic Hours

[melmcman]

Will be staying September at the WL. We do not have the park hopper and are planning 2 days at MK, 1 at Epcot, 1 at AK and 1 at Hollywood Studios. My question is Epcot and AK both have morning extra magic hours while we are there that we would like to use BUT I have also read that the park having the morning extra magic hours gets very crowded. Since we don't have the park hopper would it be best to actually avoid those parks those days?? First timer (can you tell ha ha) counting down the days. . . thanks for the suggestions!

Here is a good discussion of pros and cons of EMH (though he comes down more on the con side): http://www.easywdw.com/category/worth-2/emh-worth-2/

Since you don't have PHs, that makes EMHs less attractive (since you would ideally hop to another park in the afternoon).

Most important rule: if you're not going to be able to get up early enough to make EMHs, then definitely don't go to the EMH park. If you know that you can get up and be at the parks at 7:30 (for an 8:00 EMH opening) each day, then it might be worth it.

Also, more important than park selection is managing FPs, etc.

Enjoy!
