Dumb!

I'm worried how it will affect my touring plans

 

[CAS239]

Is the breakfast part of the $69 ticket?

Pretty stupid and overpriced. I'd be interested if it was way more rides operating (3 rides....really?), and at about $20-$30 a person (all you can eat breakfast included).

I know it is going to mess up ours

Yes I think breakfast is included.

It's a good thing it's only on select Tuesdays and Saturdays

Wish they would post the dates so people can plan already

Dates are posted it says Tuesdays and Saturdays which is the 2 days we planned to go to MK. Starting at the end of April , all of May and June.

I am super relieved that it's only two days a week, actually. I was assuming based on everything else they've done to separate people from their money these past few weeks that it would be an everyday occurrence.

I now have to double check our touring plans. Yes, the park still opens at 9, but no, you probably don't want to walk into an already full Fantasyland on that day! The price for a family becomes ridiculous. (Over $300 for my family.)

The dates are there on the page, looks like they start in a few weeks (using the little calendar on the page)

If it were the whole park that would be awesome or even all the rides in Fantasyland might be worth it. With only 3 rides and I guess breakfast added makes it a little better but still not worth it to us.

Figure the typical group at Disney is a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children). The cost of tickets for all of them is going to be $256 plus tax. Sure, you're going to get breakfast with it, so you can probably deduct the cost of whatever you were going to spend on breakfast, but that's still pricey. I know it says that the time for this event is 7:45am-10am. I'm not entirely sure I've ever seen the Magic Kingdom open up as late as 10 am, so I'm pretty sure that the park will most likely open at 9am (a normal, off season, non EMH time). But it is entirely possible that on these special days the park won't open until 10am. By the time you get everyone to the back of the park where these rides are and get in line for something, you're pretty much at 8:00am. If the park is opening at 9, thats only 1 hour of special ride access time. At 10, thats two hours, which is a little better. But the better question is how many times do people really think they're going to get on those rides in 1-2 hours? I'm sure even though the tickets are limited in number, there will still be a bunch of people and the majority are going to go for 7DMT and Peter Pan, making those two more crowded overall. And if you want to take advantage of breakfast, that is going to take time away from your special riding time. Let's say breakfast takes a half hour. If you didn't take advantage of the breakfast and only did the rides the whole time, that would be one super expensive fastpass basically.

In my opinion this is a good idea on behalf of Disney to charge people extra for things they could just get free fastpasses for, and i'm sure some people will think it's worth the money, but honestly that $250+ is going to get you breakfast, and maybe 4-5 rides tops. Totally not worth it for me

It really doesn't give enough time to ride and eat breakfast . So if the public gets in at 9:00 how will that work if the event is not over until 10:00?

I'm not sure. Thats why i'm thinking Disney is pushing the opening of MK that day back to 10am, which seems super late to me. I know they're banking on making a few hundred dollars per family but don't you think they would make more if they opened the park at 8am to everyone and had normal dining reservations?

 

[mom4praise]

I have a BOG scheduled for 8:35. I'm wondering what this means for us.

 

[Shroog]

This was listed under the info on the Early Morning Magic. It says that at 9am the park will open to guests and event only attraction access will end. So, the park will still open as scheduled at 9am.

Very glad it is Tuesday and Saturday only. My before open ARDs are Thursday and Sunday in June. Sounds like I will be okay.

 

[Hezzy04]

I am irritated. April 24 is my only day we planned to take advantage of rides at rope drop. Now I am sure there will be longer waits once the park opens...
