Magic Kingdom losing evening EMHs?

[tissandtully]

So basically taking away a free perk for a lot of guests so they can make more money off a smaller group of guests.

That, sir, is the Disney magic!

I'm sure guests from every mode enjoy what makes the extra events so popular. From May the Fourth, to MNSSHP to DAH.

Shifting EMH from evenings to exclusively mornings would not necessarily mean fewer hours available for day visitors.

So they expanded how many offsite hotels now to be eligible for EMH, but then eliminate them. I don't think they can really do it legally if they have a paid contract with the offsite hotels

The 60 Day FP window is a much more valuable perk than EMH.

EMH has been dead to me for several years. It honestly stinks now.

I hope this isn't true, we'll never be able to walk through an empty park again. The morning ones just aren't the same. They always seem crowded and feel disorganized because of all the blocks to divide resort and outside guests. They also are more restricted with only certain rides and areas of the park open. At night they have every area of the park open and most of the rides running, specifically every coaster which is a big deal. With the parks closing with the end of the evening shows evening extra magic hours have been the only way to really have something to do after the shows.

Haven't we learned the lesson from all the times EMH didn't show up on a calendar months from now and everyone started running around with hair on fire because "Disney was getting rid of EMHs!!!11!"?

Same with parades and fireworks not showing up?

Just this week there was one of MDE's pages showing that I:RoE was playing the full first week of October.

There's no sense preaching calm and patience.
Panic is more fun...............

According to Kenny the Pirate there will be no evening EMH in MK starting in Oct. Has anyone else seen or heard this. There will be morning extra hours but no night time. just saw another post on this. looks like we posted at same time . this post can be removed

It’s slightly different when morning EMH are listed two mornings per week, though. Could it be an error? Of course. But it’s somewhat more likely that it’s intentional.

Isn't flaming hair an upcharge? I'm pretty sure it's exclusive to the Hades package deal

Could be they're cutting it just during the heaviest part of party season....

Likely with a surcharge for spraying a couple of gallons of Febreze Air all over the area.
Flaming hair is far worse than the smell of tobacco smoke.

This sounds like this rumor falls under those that's partially true, but has the exact details wrong (like which Park or when the start date of it is).

The trend of cutting hours in favor of the upcharge events probably will continue in one way or the other, and probably reducing staffing as much as they can. (I think photopass is going to be the next big target)

Kenny hinted at dropping something a few days ago. If true, shouldn't be a surprise but still sucks. Some of us would rather get those free extra minutes at night then getting up at the crack of dawn.

And some of us would like the parks opened earlier since we have been up since 5am.

I assume you didn't bother to read the article? This isn't the elimination of EMH, it's EMH shifting from the evenings to the mornings.

I remember being at MK at 4:00 am on July 4th (5th) years ago. That was fun.

Nothing new there....been that way for awhile now.

I stopped following his FB page back when Toy Story Land opened. His followers all know he lives locally but he still posted that he paid for a campsite (obviously without actually staying there) so that he could take advantage of the first morning EMH. I hate when people think the rules don’t apply to them.

Just curious... if he paid for a campsite, then what rule did he break? He paid for the night's stay, whether he used it or not, and as such he's entitled to EMH access. Not sure where the problem is.

Exactly right. He paid the price that Disney charges for the EMH privilege. He broke no rule.

A lot of my best memories I’ve had at Disney have been at evening EMH. It would be a shame if they really do get rid of them.

I see your point. I just view it as, EMH are for Disney resort guests. He was not a guest. And he was taking the campsite away from someone who potentially really wanted it. To me, it’s the same as parking at Disney Springs for free and using Disney transportation to go to a theme park. Gaming the system.
