I may be the exception here, but I just don’t get it. Whether MK or HS, I’d rather spend that $ on a really good table service meal in the evening. By using fpps & rope drop wisely (even on 8 &9 CL days), we’ve been able to avoid lines, and ride rides extra times, without paying over the daily price of the park.
That was basically my first thought too. It just depends on whether you think it’s worth it to experience some of these attractions multiple times in a row. No matter how great the touring plan, you’ll never get in 7 rides of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in a day with no wait. Plus you get to experience the park in the morning basically empty, without the mad rush of teenagers pushing you out of the way (of course that could also just be an argument for early breakfast reservations). If riding these attractions multiple times in a row with no wait doesn’t appeal to you, you’re right, it’s not worth it. For me, it was just a different experience that I would never get any other way. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it’s not for everyone.
My husband and I did the early morning magic at MK, and it was awesome. The cast member told us the cut off was 300 people. We rode Peter Pan 3 times, Winnie the Pooh twice, and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train 7 times with no wait at all. When the crowds started showing up at park opening, we stopped and had a pretty decent breakfast.
I doubt I’d do the HS one because I don’t care much about meet and greets, and the rides aren’t ones I’d care to ride multiple times in a row. If that does appeal to you though, I’d highly recommend this experience. I was skeptical at first about the price tag, but I’d do the MK one again in a second.
DHS is such a shuttered mess that I’m skipping it on my upcoming trip. I can’t imagine paying even more to get reasonable access to the few remaining attractions in the park.
Only 2 rides operating? The price tag (especially for children) is a tad steep even with the character meets. Throw in Rockin’ Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror and then maybe…
Well, that is nearly half the rides in the entire park…
I love Disney $69.00 for breakfast? Pricey….
