Extra Magic Hours? Yes or No

I used to take part in morning EMH when I stayed on property. Always found evening EMH to be a waste of time, unless I was going to stick it out till the bitter end.

Now that I tend to stay off property I try to avoid the parks with EMH.

Yes and no.

We occasionally make use of EMH in the morning. But when we do we always leave that park by 10/11 am when the crowds really pick up.

Since having our little guy we rarely have the energy to take advantage of evening magic hours.

We always take advantage of the early EMH's ... it seems as though we get more done in a shorter time as the crowds have not "massed" yet ....

Morning sometimes, evening never. They are just totally too crowded, especially since they are shorter, more people stay right until the end.

We don't use EMHs directly, but we often plan to visit the park the day AFTER it had EMH in hopes it will be less crowded the following day. :mickey: Not sure if that method would stand up to any sort of scientific scrutiny, but it works for us.

I try to avoid them. If it is in the morning I am not going to get up that early to take advantage so I avoid it. Since we have a younger child the later evenings are not an option.

They are a nice to have, but not always a must do for us. Quantity doesn't always equal quality, but we like the flexibility!

We only use morning hours. And avoid parks with late hours.

We love the parks after dark, so we usually go during evening EMH, especially the late night ones. Never mind the crowds, we have fun anyway!

We avoid EMH like the plague! We have tried the evening EMH's several parks and have always experienced long waits, huge crowds, and we've ended up exhausted. It works better for us to plan AROUND EMH, every day I'm up by 6:00, wake the family by 7:00 & we're on our way to morning park by 8:00, always take an afternoon break and usually hop to a different park for evening and stay for the nighttime event, usually back to resort around 11:00. This is enough for us & just works much better for my family.

My wife and I were able to do all of Fantasyland during morning EMH. A feat that would take forever at any other time. We highly recommend morning EMH.

We took advantage of EMH in the evening at EPCOT and MK in early May. Day after MK was our no park day ....
