Question re: Early Morning Magic and After Hours

[GeorgiaHoo]

Just wondering if EMM and After Hours were still a thing? We might be interested in doing one of these for our November trip but I can't find any info on Disney's website regarding whether either will be offered. Thanks in advance.

Early Morning Magic (EMM) which you have to pay for is currently only available through October. They discontinued the evening one. These are different than the Extra Magic Hours (EMH) offered to Disney Resort Guests.

The Nov schedule just isn't out yet for EMM; keep an eye out as I think they've been selling out.

As PP said, the evening one went away.

It'll be back next Spring, maybe next summer. Last year they tested it in early summer; this year early Spring. Maybe these short hours are a setup for it next summer.

EMM is still going strong. I didn't like the idea, but he n practicality it was pretty awesome for my family. In addition to the rides, it gives you a good jump on rope drop, too.

So what's the difference between morning EMH and EMM?

They haven't discontinued the After Hours event, it just hasn't been offered since March, which is not surprising as it's really better suited for when the MK naturally closes early, like it typically does in some parts of Jan-March. The version this past year was much better received and quite popular. I suspect/hope they'll do it again next winter.

Matt, EMM is a separate ticketed event available to anyone who wants to pay. It's limited to I think 500 people and allows access to 7DMT, PP and Pooh before anyone else is in the park. There's also a breakfast buffet available until 10 AM. My kids got 11 rides in during that hour and were able to walk onto Space Mountain because they had a head start on the rope drop crowd.

EMH is Extra Magic Hours, available exclusively to resort guests. Most of the park is open, but it's often crowded because there are 30,000 hotel rooms at WDW. But it is included as part of your resort cost.

Thanks everyone, and thanks to erionm for the link. Looks like there's still some availability in October so will keep an eye out for November dates. Looks like it costs about $75 a person so have to think about whether it is worth the cost.

Disney After Hours was one of the best things we have ever done at Disney. We rode pretty much everything in the MK with no waits!
