Magic Morning on Saturday or Tuesday (plus a couple other questions)

[starjazz]

Here's our itinerary: We get in Friday evening, around 5:00 pm to SNA in late February. We leave the following Saturday, so we have 7 days total, with 5 park days. I'm wondering if we're better off using our magic morning on the first morning, a Saturday, or saving it for a lower crowd day like Tuesday?

If we don't use it on Saturday, any chance we'd still be able to grab A&E m&g FPs when we get there, or will they be gone by then?

What are your travel dates and what time is Magic Morning on Saturday and Tuesday?

In general, I find the earlier the Magic Morning, the more valuable it is. A 9 am Magic Morning can be quite crowded, because more people are able to make it. A 7 am Magic Morning is normally the least crowded, because as you can imagine, it is more difficult to be there that early.

That being said, during super busy times, it may not matter as much.

The Saturday in question will be 2/21. Historically, the park has opened at 8:00 am that day, with a 7:00 am magic morning. And yeah, that does sound super early, BUT, since we'll all probably still feel like its 9:00 due to our time change, that may be the best bet!

I would recommend the Saturday Magic Morning. The 7am start time means fewer crowds and you have an advantage due to time change. Additionally, you will be fresh and ready to go, unlike by Tuesday, when fatigue may begin to set in.

I always prefer early MM hours, a 9 am MM is pretty crowded. Have fun!

Great advice. Thanks - that's what we'll go for!
