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

[GADisneyDad14]

Does anyone who booked this know if the purchase coded as "travel" on your credit card? I'm hoping to use a CC that will erase part of the charge but can only do this if it codes as travel. Thanks!

My Amex codes Disney events such as these as “Travel”, not sure how other credit cards handle.

Awesome - thanks!!

I didn’t think there were AP or DVC discounts on this one?

Yes. I was able to book with a DVC discount.

 

[detroitdad]

How does DAH work with the regular park people still in line at park close? That’s been my hold up with considering doing it.

I figured that this would really only affect maybe one ride for an hour tops waiting for the non-event people to get through the line.

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Yes. I was able to book with a DVC discount.

Just to avoid any confusion, this is the DHS Early Morning Magic thread. AP/DVC discounts aren’t available for Early Morning Magic events.

 

[Suejacken]

Just FYI, there are no AP discounts for Early Morning Magic. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

Thanks, that’s actually great news because I don’t have to worry about waiting. I wasn’t sure if there was a discount, l just thought there was . I don’t want to get the annual pass until later in my trip to make it last longer

Finally got a EMM for 4/29. I was holding off waiting for a May date so never got the 4/29 and it sold out i guess? but been stalking the website for 4/29 and finally got lucky and got reservations for it yesterday

We did EMM in October but we were at the beach club and walked over.

This time we are staying at the Grand, what time would you recommend reserving a cab/towncar/uber etc to be there on time?

As I don't get to The World very often, but I do go to DL all the time, would you do EMM twice in the same trip for MK? I already have one booked and the HS one is booked. I am just not sure as I am going solo to the parks while DH is at the convention if I should go the 2nd day.

Hey, @GADisneyDad14 -- there's a big change coming to the breakfast location! https://www.orlandoparksnews.com/2019/01/disney-early-morning-magic-breakfast-to.html

thank you for the update wish they would change the breakfast menu for EMM at toy story land instead of the venue. But we are not paying for the breakfast in the first place. But some of the toy story choices are not my favorite food wise.

Hopefully this was the hold up to upcoming dates being released?

Interesting, thanks. Backlot is pretty far from TSL, wonder how that will work with the whole pre-land opening setup.

Not that ABC Commissary is some stellar space, but seems like a downgrade in location/venue, no?

Yes, why move it further away? I'm disappointed.

 

[PrincessArlena'sDad]

Does backlot have as much seating as ABC?

Backlot has indoor and outdoor seating. Its a pretty decent sized area.

So our date is 2/6- first day of location change! Not sure how/ if this will affect us at all?

Good luck!

If you could report back how it went we'd all appreciate it!

I will do that. I am wondering if they’re making a change to start enforcing the 7:30 official start time (vs. 6:45 as reported here). Purely speculation- any thoughts? TIA!

I don't see why change in time would correlate change in venue for breakfast. They could change the time and keep ABC just as easily, i'd think

Thank you for your reply!
I did call Disney and was told:
1. 7:00 and 7:30 reservations are treated the same (as reported on this thread). We booked 7:30 a.m. some time ago, as it was the only time slot available. I noticed today they added a 7:00 a.m. and was kind of wanting to switch, but was told it's unnecessary. EDIT: Switched to 7 am haha. Just made me feel better!
2. ACCORDING TO DISNEY, the breakfast location for the event has no planned location changes/ refurbishments/ etc.
