DHS/Toy Story Land "Early Morning Magic" (EMM) FAQ & Discussion

[GADisneyDad14]

I'm wishfully hoping it's double MK EMM numbers... TSL EMM must have significantly higher capacity with TSM, SDD, and AS2 (and the M&G) compared to MK EMM... so as long as they didn't make it 10x the numbers, I think it will still be awesomely awesome.

Agree. I can’t imagine the capacity won’t be higher than MK. Just seems like it can handle more people to me. But I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt on them still putting together a quality experience.... until proven otherwise.

This is OT for this thread, but getting in early for dessert parties before the ADR time can be variable to the desserty party in question. The ADR time for the Plaza Garden viewing version at MK, for example, is already 1.5 hours before fireworks time. They might start letting people in 10-20ish mins earlier on any given night, but it’s not usually going to be materially earlier. For the FEA/Illuminations party we did in Feb and April, it was around 5-10 mins before the ADR time. YMMV of course since they can do different things on any given night.

No, that's not even what I was referring to.
When you go to book the dessert party it has 2 different times, just like the EMM does now. At least they used to. Been a long time since I booked a regular Dessert party. But last time I booked it would return times of something like an ADR at 7:00 and one at 7:15, for the 9:00 Fireworks. Guests don't have to show up at the time shown. Everyone can show up at whatever time check in is, you don't wait and check in at 2 different times.

I can’t speak for the Star Wars dessert party, but the MK and Epcot parties aren’t like that anymore. Just one ADR time for the specific party in question.

Watching this thread. We're going to the 10/15 party. I hope it's as good as MK EMM!

I would absolutely love to do this but the fact that DH probably won't ride 2 of the 3 attractions makes it sort of a waste. He is very willing to do the ROL Dessert party so I guess I should be grateful for something.

We are doing it, even though my DH won't ride SDD…he hates coasters! I think he'll be okay with A** and he loves TSM though. Which one won't your DH go on?

I'm a little disappointed in the menu options. I was hoping for a more generic breakfast option for my kids.

Mexican Corn Chilaquiles and Eggs Bowl
Shrimp and Southern Grits Bowl
Fried Chicken and Cinnamon Sugar French Donut Bowl
Smashed Avocado Toast Egg Plate
Breakfast Charcuterie Platter

ETA: My kids are Disney adults. Yes, I know they can order adult portions of the kids options (but they won't really like those either, ha ha!) I am looking forward to some of the options and they will be fine with the continental stuff. I wasn't really complaining, I was just kinda thinking out loud. Yes, I should know better than to do that.

Looks great but not food I want to consume and then spin around for an hour.

Hmm. Well it looks like scrambled eggs, cereal, yogurt, and fruit will be available for them.

It will be interesting to see how they handle people with allergies. I am Celiac and I can't eat gluten and have an intolerance to corn and potatoes. I usually just stick with eggs and bacon.

Generally it's better to eat after riding.

Looks like they are trying to reduce the consumption of the more expensive foods and then have an all you can eat buffet of the cheaper foods like pastries, etc.

I reaalllllllyyyyy don't think that's what they are trying to do.

I'm sure they will have options for dietary restrictions. If not, that's definitely an issue.

I don't get it, even when Disney offers "nicer" things they are accused of trying to cut costs. There's no win.

 

[StacyStrong]

Anywho. I noticed the blog post makes no mention of the 7am time. Go figure!

My son is allergic to egg and has an intolerance to oat, pork, dairy and apple. So breakfast is not a meal he general can eat at a restaurant, since most breakfasts center around sausage/bacon, oatmeal, eggs, french toast, yogurt, etc. I'm actually optimistic that he could enjoy the fried chicken, tater tots and donut meal. But he'll be perfectly happy with fruit and toast if need be, and I carry his almond milk in my purse anyways.

We're not doing this for the food, but I'm pleasantly surprised that we may be able to enjoy it!

According to the link you posted, the kids meals are either a kid’s portion of the fried chicken and cinnamon sugar donuts OR scrambled eggs, both served with potato barrels. Both of those sound like acceptable kid’s options to me. Plus they get the buffet, too.

 

[jennab]

I like that the breakfast options are a little different! Not the same old same old buffet that is everywhere!

Agree. This menu doesn't look like "cost cutting" to me, but we have to meet the quota of discussing it in every thread I guess.

We always eat last when we do EMM events.
