I’m so glad I ‘signed up’ for the Dibb theme park hours update notifications.
Got the e-mail on Friday while I was out & was able to swap my breakfast ADRs to a later time now park opening at 8am, got a 10.30am ADR instead, booked the 8am ADR for another date & even managed to modify my fast passes.
There’s still a really good choice of ADRs for my dates with only just over 6 weeks to go!
Thank you 😊

Yep, our Studios visit in February was on an Early Morning Magic morning (the paid morning event.) It was a pretty crowded day being a couple of days after Presidents‘ Day.

I was a bit concerned about the EMM crowds impacting our rope drop wait at Slinky but it’s true, the event numbers are low and by the time the rope droppers arrive in Toy Story Land, I think most of the people at the event are done with Slinky and are visiting the other attractions in the land, doing the character meets or having the included breakfast.

Certainly in our experience, we went through the ride entrance at 8.57 am and were off by 9.10 am. This did involve arriving at the tapstiles at 7.30 and being held at the rope at the front of the park for about 40 minutes from 8.10 / 8.15. We were a few hundred people back I would guess by the time we went through the ride entrance, but we were really happy with the 10 minute actual wait. The event guests certainly didn’t have an impact on our wait time at Slinky and the Land didn’t feel any more crowded than expected when we were off our first ride.
