Extra Magic Hours

I tried to search for this but could not find the answer I was looking for! What are the current early entry days for June? Is the advice still to avoid that park on early entry days?

Thanks!

Thanks again!

On our schedule I have decided not to go to the early entry parks and do a different park instead. Is this the best way to avoid the crowds or I am passing up a good opportunity?

We've actually never done the early hours...but people seem to love it! It would definitely be cool to see the park empty and walk on almost any ride you want! We're night owls versus early birds, so we do E-Nights instead! Have fun!

on the ages of your party, I think.

We have small children; DS was only 18 mos for our first trip. DD was only 9 for our last. For us, EE at MK and AK--one year that we went they participated, I haven't looked to see if they are currently-- was worth it. The fdiffeence in waiting 20 minutes and over an hour for Dumbo--less if you're lucky-- and virtually walking on other FL rides was huge for our family. Conversely, there weren't that many attractions as Epcot or MGM that we wanted to ride to make it worth getting up earlier. Those days we went against the EE schedule and just arrived a bit prior to opening.

You'll just have to see what is offered and decide what works best for your group.

THis year, DH and I are going alone, and don't plan to see the light of day before ten!!! WE'll do an e-ride, though. We've never ridden space mtn together before!

If you are able to get up early and get to the park for EMH then I think it is definitely worth it. As MrsR123 mentioned, it is a must for MK since you'll probably be able to do most of Fantasyland in that first hour, and they have attractions with some of the longest lines!!

If you find the EMH park gets too crowded later in the day you can always hop to another park. This works particularly well if you're planning to go back to the resort for an afternoon break/nap anyway. But, even if you're not, it's easy to hop to another park.

If you (or your kids) won't be able to get up early enough to take advantage of EMH, then don't go to that park. If EMH begins at 8:00 am and you won't get there until 8:30 am, then don't go to the EMH park since you've already lost the advantage of EMH. Try going to the park that had EMH the day before.
