My least favorite park for Evening EMH is the Studios. The mob scene near the entrances for Fantasmic, TOT and RNRC makes navigating more hectic and rowdy than visiting these attractions during normal business hours. With Fastpass turned back during EMH for TOT and RNRC, due to the heavy crowds, and TOT Standby at over 70 minutes, I'd rather get the extra sleep and visit the park at the regular 9am opening to beat the crowds. I have not tried Morning EMH because I get home too late from Evening EMH and can't wake up early enough to attend anything prior to 9am.

Originally Posted By xrayvision I agree with you to an extent. But, there does have to be some incentive/benefits to staying onsite at Disney's overpriced hotels. EMH and free parking are the sole motivators as to why I stay on Disney property while visiting the WDW parks. After I'm done with visiting Disney parks, I move to a nicer yet lesser expensive off-property hotel with better rooms and terrycloth towels while enjoying Orlando's other attractions. As for Fastpass, I LOVE IT and would be willing to pay for this benefit as I do at Universal Studios. Fastpass and Single Rider lines are the way to go for me.

I just don't think it's fair to have fastpasses "sold out" at 1PM when the park is open to 10PM. Shouldn't there be some kind of limit on how many are given in an hour's time?

The morning EMH is another story. We enjoy all the morning EMH's, but then leave the park with the EMH and hop to another park after the EMH is over because it seems like that park is the busiest park for the day.

Calling it EMH's when you close DAK at 5 and leave it open until 8 or EMH at MK when you close at 9 instead of midnight is wrong ... you aren't getting anything EXTRA in your EMHs ... what you are getting is what was cut to save labor and other costs. But if the MK is open until 11 or midnight and they tack another three hours on top of that, I can't argue ... because they are giving a perq to resort guests and it wasn't like the MK routinely stayed open until 2 or 3 a.m. even back in the 70s. But, yeah, it does bother me that Epcot, which regularly had midnight closings, is relegated to once a week for resort guests.
