Would you attend an Early Morning Magic event at Disneyland?

[MaryKatesMom]

I know I would! With a limited amount of time in CA it would be great!

Here is more info on the event in case anyone isn't aware of it. They just opened one in DHS.

If it was before the early entry I get with my onsite stay I would. But I don't think they would do that. If they just did it at the park not having early entry that day, it would negate the value of my early entry that comes with an onsite stay. So I have a hunch something like this would only appeal to offsite visitors.

Nope, I wouldn't. They are taking what was a "free" perk (but not really free at all because of the premium you pay to be eligible for it) of staying on property and now charging a premium for it. I don't think it's a good deal at all. It's just yet another attempt to get more money out of people and it's making me less and less happy with my Disney experience. (and yes, I understand that they need to turn a profit, but it's getting a bit much IMHO).

Well, WDW has added so many rooms that AM EMH has become the place NOT to be compared to years past. How is Disneyland's EMH? Still relatively non-crowded making EMH worth it?

The DL days aren't spectacular, but still worth doing IMO. But that's because anyone with a 3 day pass gets 1 day early at DL. The early entry at DCA is only for onsite guests so much more helpful.

We did EMH at WDW this past Spring and it was great (the normal kind... we didn't pay extra). Frankly, the DHS offering is a joke (and being treated like one by most people I know) since there are hardly any rides open early at DHS... it isn't even a full day park at this point. We spent an evening there and we able to ride everything we wanted. But if people are willing to pay, of course they will offer it.

$69 + tax for 1 hour, 15 minutes and only three rides available...ummm...thanks, but no. That is another add on where I draw the line. Some add-ons are worth it to me, this one would not.

It actually sounds more like an alternative to Character Breakfast because for the price, you get a buffet breakfast and three rides available during the special hours. Would I do it? Maybe if Disneyland offered Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland and the Matterhorn with a similar breakfast, or for a Tomorrowland morning (Hyperspace Mountain, Star Tours, and Buzz Lightyear).

But I wouldn't do it for Peter Pan, Mr. Toad, and Dumbo. I mean, come ON.
