I won't hold my breath waiting for all of the people who constantly cry about Disney cutting hours to come eat crow.

I won't hold my breath waiting for all of the people who constantly cry about Disney cutting hours to come eat crow.

We all know they cry it’s not evening hours because 6am is too early. But this makes it now possible for my wife and I to hit it up multiple days before going to another park in October.

Wow, well I guess the rumored demise of extra magic hours was premature.

6am!! can't imagine being at a park at 6 am. I'd love to get some shots though of early morning.

I love that magic kingdom will have extra hours every day.

I could be wrong, but it feels a little early still? In my head, if they're going to add more EMH, it will be about 2 weeks out. (At least that's what my memory says happens every time we have a trip in the works.)

I’m hoping it’s not crazy at 6 am

I'm looking at normal hours extending, not the EMH. They have expanded some hours at MK and AK up until June 1st right now.

 

[Touchdown]

Oof 6 am openings at DHS, 7 am openings at MK and AK. I much prefer more evening hours but it beats having a required reservation. Still waiting on DL to announce what they are doing post June 23 for onsite guests.

Perfect.

Eventually, after the dust settles it would be great if they had morning separate ticket events.

Oh sweet lord, are you trying to start a forum riot can you imagine the uproar if Disney had a ticketed morning event.

Wait...haven't they already at MK?

I’ll say it. I wish it was PM EMH at DHS instead of AM. But I’m glad it’s 3 hours early. Hopefully that discourages some from attempting. And that’s a BIG jump on heat (we’ll be there opening weekend).

For the person waiting for the June hours update, if history is an indication, that should happen this Friday (5/10).

At what park?

People will still be lining up at 4am for Galaxy’s Edge, there’s no getting away from the crowds at DHS.

AK and MK will be fine.

From my perspective ( on a daily basis) there are a number of guest that respond to EMH in the mornings. But on average the que lines for busses don't start getting busy till 9 ish. Of course there are exceptions, I'm saying on average. I can't tell you how many times we drive around with an empty bus then all of a sudden slam , here they come!!!! I often have opportunities to be in the park early ( before guest) it's a unique experience! It is not a barren place as some may think. Depending on the time it can be quite busy, sometimes with normal opening preparations or something special that has to be done without out guests.

This is amazing!!! I am not a Star Wars fan at all but I’d love to be there this fall for these extra magic hours!! We are planning for January 2020 so hopefully crowds have settled a bit by then.

It will be.

 

[mikejs78]

I for one am really disappointed that Disney keeps reducing hours and removing benefits for onsite guests and replacing them with upcharge events.

Oh, wait.....

We were thinking of trying to sneak in a trip before Galaxy's Edge opens, but the grounding of the 737 Max jets and subsequent ridiculous flight prices put the kibosh on that. I'm going to be watching crowd levels like a hawk for a while.

I’m hoping being at the gate at 5:00 at DHS will be early enough.
