It's sort of like taking a poll to see if Vanilla or Chocolate is better.
The EMHs are worth it.
Being at the park on a EMH day is not worth it.
So use the EMH then hop somewhere else.
The only time I have found EMH to be too overcrowded was last year during Pandora (we went during the time they ONLY thing in the park to do was Pandora during EMH--and we used the full two hours to stand in line and ride FOP 1 time)...and at Hollywood studio there was no longer a lot to do when they closed down so much of the park (I'm not a thrill ride person so RR and ToT are not options for me). I am not sure what Hollywood will be like this summer, because really they are only getting 1 new ride with the opening of TSL if you factor in the additional loss of the GMR...Pandora is a bit less crazy now--so AK would be more EMH friendly...I can’t get a handle on Extra Magic hours. Half the crowd says to take advantage and go to the parks with EMHs. The rest say it’s too crowded and not to bother. It all leaves me feeling very conflicted.
If it helps, we always leave the park mid day for a break. We usually leave around 12-1pm. Is there a big difference between morning and evening EMHs?
Our morning EMH is 8-9am.
Our night EMHs are 9-11pm and 10-12am.
My guess--just a guess based on our experience on EMH days at Hollywood Studios (but not July 5)--is that you'll be able to get a decent amount done but it really depends on what you want to do. The new Toy Story Land will probably be packed, and Toy Story Mania will have a long line pretty soon after park opening, but Tower of Terror and (to a lesser extent) Rock n Roller Coaster should be very doable with a minimal wait.oops - I see EMH for Hollywood Studio on July 5 is 7am-8am. Maybe there is a chance it won't be overcrowded that early in morning....am I wishful thinking.

7 a.m. after a holiday that needs complete darkness for fireworks? I think there's going to be a lot of sleepy folks that won't be up and att'em at 7 a.m.
