Hey Disneyland pros! I’m here in Anaheim with my DH. He’s been working every day and meeting me in the parks around 6. The only days he can go in the morning is the weekend. Should we use our MM tomorrow (Saturday) at Disneyland at 7am and then get in at the regular park opening into DCA on Sunday (after their 7 am MM), or should we just skip the MM and go the DCA on Saturday at rope drop and DL on Sunday at Ropedrop? We’ll have MaxPass.
 
I’d use the MM at Disneyland.

Disneyland has far more “non-FP” attractions that build long lines, so that morning time is more valuable there, IMO. In fact, I’d be tempted to start there both days! You can always start booking FPs at DCA and head there for both afternoons.

Oh, I guess I’m assuming you have parkhoppers...
 
That’s a good idea! Yes, we have parkhoppers.

We were able to single rider RSR and Incredicoaster and we hopped onto Soarin’ after the parade on Wednesday night so he doesn’t need to do that. The only thing I’d really like to do at DCA is Guardians of the Galaxy (way better than ToT IMO, I love the energy and music) and TSM. I did Mickey’s Wheel of Death yesterday and was reminded why it was called that. I’ll skip a second ride lol.

I think we’ll start at DL tomorrow and then hop over to DCA for a couple hours and see how it goes.
 
7:00 am Magic Mornings are the best! Many people find it hard to be there that early, so it is less crowded than the later MMs. As stated by pp, many of the rides do not have fast pass, so you can get a real nice head start for the day. Keep in mind only FantasyLand and Tomorrowland rides are open during MM/EMH (and not all of them)

How was your experience doing single rider at night? We'll be arriving late on a Monday and got 5-day tickets just to pop in for an hour or two to hit a few rides. Since Incredicoaster is universally rated as better at night, I was wondering if the single rider line has gotten substantially longer.

We road the rollercoater at night but the single rider line was pretty long. Maybe 30 minutes but standby was 95!
