Evening Extra Magic Hours

[Jeff456]

so does the crowd lessen much during those 3 hours? we are staying on property at WDW and are looking forward to taking advantage of the "extra hours" in the evening.

i noticed they are doing two "Fantasmic" shows and i was hoping the second show would not be overly "full" so we would not have to line up to get a seat way in advance.

From the crowd levels you expected in the other thread, i would avoid parks with EMH on the day you visit them, by all means park hop to a park with evening emh if you want but all EMH does is inflate crowd levels in the day and if those 3s and 4s are correct then you certainly wont need EMH anywhere near as much as most people. EMH will still be pretty busy throughout the evening I would have thought.

It used to take me longer to walk through the line system than I spent waiting to get on. It was also only for MK but to be honest it's not really needed for the other parks.

If there are 2 Fantasmic shows on one night I recommend going for the second one because you'll have a much shorter wait (mostly because they can't let anyone in until about 20 mins or so beforehand). Unless you desperately need the extra hours in the parks it's more productive (in terms of maximizing time in attractions) to avoid them all together.

Second show is just a full as first show. Have tried both several times.
This seems to be one of the most crowded shows at the World and I expect it to remain this way for 'years to come.'

E ticket nights--- you pay and extra $12 per person (I thinks kids were cheaper) and you get to play for 3 hours, BUT they were limited to 5000 people... no waiting.

EMH --- is free to anyone staying on property (and the extra hotels as mentioned above) as long as you have a valid park ticket. There is no limit so the EMH are very crowded and the lines can be hours long.

E ticket nights rocked, EMH bites

that is what I thought it was after I posted. I remember paying a little extra for E-Ticket night. And it is well worth the price. MK was WAY empty during the time and all the opened attractions where walk on.

Now it is a free for all from what everyone is saying. my parents, brother and his family are down there right now. will ask them this weekend on their take of it.

thanks for the info.
