How has the EMH and the new MYW tickets affected crowds?

[maggiew]

I am wondering if there has been any sort of change with the crowd levels considering the new (since we've been there) Evening EMH and the new MYW ticket structure.

Normally, we had park hoppers, so we would go to Early entry until lunch time or so and then hop to another park to avoid the big crowds.

But now, we will probably buy the MYW base tickets (no hopping) to save money. But should we go to the EMH park because of the extra evening hours (better for my family than the morning ones) or should we avoid those parks totally. I can't decide if I think the extra hours will make up for the extra crowd levels??

We will be going at the end of June.

Thanks
Maggie

I don't think the park hopping option is expensive enough for enough people to cause a very major change in purchasing habits, or utilization. By comparison, I believe the difference between expiring and non-expiring passes is very substantial, but I am not sure what kind of impact that would have.

I'm not sure of the answer either. But Disney has said that overall park attendance is up 15% - 20% this year and they expect attendance to increase next year as well. I think it's hard to say because the new tickets started about the same time as the celebration, but I'm sure Disney knows.
