Oh thanks for that, I'm very interested to know what they will be doing with EE. Seriously thinking about trying to get a DVC reservation for our stay next year, EE is not a deal breaker for us but would be nice to have. If we stay offsite would love to know your thoughts on whether we should avoid the park which has it or does it not matter that much in DLR.

Wait… it’s just one park but still 30 minutes?

It will be interesting to see if they keep the before times pattern of Tues Thurs Sat for DL and Mon Wed Fri Sun for DCA.

Exactly! I think they will! I just want to map it out for January to see if Disney does the same pattern as before.

We’ll be there again in a few weeks before the change and then again around spring break (with the new rules in place). I’m eager to hear how it goes. I’m sure some advantage will be lost cramming everyone into one park for EE.

Looks like they are resurrecting the old schedule, but 30 minutes instead of the old hour from years ago.

Monday, January 22, DCA, 7:30AM to 8:00AM.

Fingers crossed the old pattern holds true. If that's the case our first EE day will be Disneyland, which is my preferred starting park for a trip. You have to start with the castle!

As a Poor Normal person (I wish I could stay at the hotel...but they are almost triple the amount of hotels near by)

I'm excited that there will finally be days I can rope Drop Pan again, it's basically you stay at the hotel or wait 30+ mins for Pan

So Happy its has some days I can get there the same time as everyone else (for Rope Drop rides)

I honestly think the new EE schedule will not affect anything. The old both park EE didn't. Now crowds will be spread out and those staying off site can better plan things. As long as the park hopping at 11 and reservation system are in effect, attendance is controlled.

It will change Rope Drop

Now you can get to Racers at the same time as everyone else or Pan

Today if I went Pan would have a 30+ min wait by the time i get there at 8 AM and Cars would be 40-60 mins because hotel guests are already in the parks

Not attendance..rope drop yes. I think the crowds will be the same but I think the attraction wait times will be the same regardless. For those off site, they can plan but they are still blocked out of 1 park a day because of EE. But I also think hotel guests will be there as always if they do not want to go to EE on that day for that park. This EE levels the playing field and was like this for years before COVID and the reopening. I know for me when I stay onsite either GCH or DLH, if I dont want EE at DCA. Ill line up for DL at 8AM.

Memories...of when every 3 day ticket came with a... magic morning to DL!

Pretty sad when the Good Ole Days of 60min EE was just 3 years ago.
It sure isn't the Disneyland most of us were use too...
