Which morning for magic morning?

[DisneyGaga]

My daughter and I are headed to the park next week. Hoping crowds will be lighter as Disney has anticipated since the hours are reduced. My real questions is, we have one early morning entry. We can choose to use it on Thursday at 8am or Saturday at 7am. My original thought was Saturday, because people don't generally like to get going that early, but then I noticed that some of the annual passes were not blocked out anymore, so I'm rethinking this. What do you all think?
Thanks!

Ap's can't get into the early morning hour so I'd use it which ever day you like.

I was wondering if in the same situation, I wanted to use my EE for Saturday, but then I also wanted to enter early on the Thursday for the first sitting for Minnie's breakfast. Would I need to use the EE on the Thursday or can they they still let us in without using the EE? We wouldn't be entering the actual park on Thursday till park opening as we would have a leisurely character breakfast.

getting up early is the key......unless tons of new wekend tourists flew in Friday night and are ready to go, go, go.....so thursday will have more exhausted folks not full of energy like they do Tuesday morning.

We get in on Friday from the East Coast and plan on being at DL for EE/MM at 7 am Saturday! Not sure if my answer helps you but maybe it does.

thank you...this information helps a great deal in helping folks plan, Indeed rested and full of Disney spirit, you will be there bright and early.

In general the early the EE/MM the less people that take advantage of it.

On the other hand will you be more tired & less likely to want to get up early at the end of your trip vs the beginning of your trip. I in general use it as close to the beginning of my trip for this reason.

For the socal APs this is probably true, but there are a lot of AP holders, like myself, that chose to stay onsite and always hit morning hour.
OP, the early EMH/MM are the most quiet IME. Like PP said, going early in your trip is a good plan and/or take a nap!

But that wouldn't change the number who get to use it, since the Disney hotels are almost always sold out.
AP's still do not get MM/EE just for being an AP holder.

If you have a reservation you will not need to use your EE. There is a gate specifically for going to the character breakfast and they will have a list.

I think I'll probably pick Thursday. I think I can make Saturday, but I'm sure my daughter will be too tired! Thanks for all of the feedback!
