EMH's - use them or not? About This Page:

[lablady]

We'll be staying at POFQ in December !! I've been reading some other info about Disney online and some sites advise AGAINST doing even the AM EMHs, as the park will be more busy than the others. We've only done 1 morning EMH so I was wondering what you do? Do you specifically pick another park to avoid the crowds, do you hit the morning EMH then get the heck out of there, or do you go early and stay as long as possible? I would think that you can get alot done (look at Sharon!!) but does it eat up much time moving to another park when that one gets busy? TIA!

I can't say from experience, I can only say what I "plan" to do..... I plan to start the day off at the park WITH EMH. Try to get what we can done. Possibly stay till lunch, then note the crowds. If things are getting pretty bad, we'll leave and go else where.

I have heard that parks with evening EMH can get heavy while the day guests and resort guests all merge together. But once the park "closes" the crowds should ease up a bit.

Guess I'm no help. haha. I'll have to go with the flow and sorta figure it out myself.

We are night owls so we stick to the Evening EMH and avoid the Morning EMH.

We love AM EMH. Get in, see as much as you can, and then head elsewhere when / if crowds become unmanageable

We do better at night so we tend to only do the evening EMHs... We try to avoid parks with morning EMHs b/c we know we won't make it there in time and by the time we can get there it'll be so busy... So I guess it just depends on if you're an early bird or a night owl

Only go to the morning EMH park if you are going to be there for morning EMH. If you show up at regular time or later, you will find the park more crowded than on a typical day. I have been able to get alot done during a morning EMH, surprisingly.
Evening EMH's are good too, especially during that final hour of EMH.

we can somehow never get up early enough and end up doing the evening EMH's
3 hrs is longer than 1.

We always do morning EMH at MK!! You can get quite a lot done in a short amount of time! We find evening EMHs much more crowded and don't plan on getting much done for those

[thrashers09]

we've done the early magic hours before and really had no problems, u just have to stay out of people's way that are RUNNING (for some reason) to get to a certain ride .
we are gonna do the evening ones in September since u get 3 extra hours instead of just the 1 for the morning ones. I look forward to it, being able to get on some of the more popular rides more than once , and being in the "atmosphere" later in the night .

During the evening EMHs, are the popular rides still incredibly busy? You'd think that they would be, but we've never done the late EMHs. I'd hate to stay and spend alot of time in line.

[tinker_me_happy]

I am planning on doing both am and pm EMH. BUT if the parks get too busy on my am EMH day then I will switch to another park or just go hang out at the resort for a while and relax. I bought the boys park hoppers (DD and I have APs) so we don't have to worry about it. I want my vacation to be fun and relaxing so no Running for rides here either.... with the ONE exception of Soarin my Epcot morning! (well maybe I'll make DH run for FPs!)

[lukeandbrookesmom]

We never use them. We choose another park with smaller crowds.

[Princess_Wantabe]

We try to stay away from the EMH parks, they can get very crowded (especially the evening EMH ) If we do show up, it's after regular park hrs...but usually we're sleepy heads who can't stay up that late

[KrisLuvsDisney]

We don't do the morning EMH, but we take advantage of the evening EMH We avoid the parks that have morning EMH and try to get something things done at another park

[wendybell]

The morning EMH's are only one hour so we don't get as much accomplished as the evening hours. I think it's best to avoid the park that has morning EMH's and hit a different park. We LOVE evening EMH's, you get up to 3 extra hours and can do tons of stuff with little or no waits.
