His comments I felt were valid, and I feel its such an important matter of discussion that it should have its own thread. Extra Magic Hours are similar to those found at WDW, but are only available on selected mornings at the Disneyland Park. At the momont the list of attractions included are a select few found only in Fantasyland and Discoveryland. Attractions in Adventureland and Frontierland are not included. Also not included is the Studios park, now WDW offers Extra Magic Hours everyday at one of the parks, and I feel if DLRP wishes to continue this service, and give people the impression that the Studios is not a second rate park to DLP than it to should offer this service to, perhaps on a differnt day.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I agree, though there are not many non show attractions. Let's see what could be open vs. DLP. DLP has open for EMH: 1. Peter Pan 2. Pinocchio or Snow White 3. Dumbo 4. Teacups 5. Carousel 6. Buzz 7. Orbitron 8. Space Mountain WDSP could have: 1. Cars 2. Carpets 3. Crush 4. ToT 5. RNR Coaster 6. Tram Tour The rest are shows, but they could have: 7. Stitch Live 8. Armageddon 9. Cinemagique (though that has more cast members than the rest) But it would be awesome. We rode Buzz so many times I got bored of it, but I missed the Tram Tour, RNR Coaster, Armageddon and Crush because of kids/timings. If they had evening EMH, Sarah and I would have taken turns flying solo. I understand that DLP probably hosts EMH because it is little kids that get up early (hence the attraction line up). But a few evening EMH at WDSP would be very cool indeed.
Originally Posted By Malin Looking at those comparisons I think you have more than enough attractions that could keep people entertained for an extra 2 hrs. Agreed about it being best to host the Extra Magic Hours during the night, seeing that the park closes early anyway, and the park still hasn't got enough non show attractions to keep the little ones occupied. Hopely the rumoured additions will fix the gap here.
Originally Posted By u k fan We actually couldn't find enough to do to fill 2 hours last week at the EMH. Buzz was down that morning and we left the spinners, but even then we had time for 4 rides on the Teacups (whilst Mum rode Peter Pan) and we were still at WDS in time for opening. As a group of 3 adults EMH was barely worth the effort. Space Mountain, Peter Pan, The Teacups and Buzz were the only attractions we really had any interest in. With the exception of the Teacups we could ride those fairly easily by staying late in the evening or getting a Fastpass. EMH in The Studios in the evening would make this perk much more worthwhile for a group of adults!!!
