Early Morning Magic is wonderful!!!! At first, I thought it was a little frivolous, but the time that you save and the food that you get, makes this "event" more valuable than a PPO character breakfast. During the hour, my family (DH, DS7 and DD4) managed to ride 7DMT probably about 8 times, Peter Pan twice and Winnie the Pooh once. We probably could've rode 7DMT about 4 more times, but I had to call it quits because I thought I was going to hurl.
We arrived at the gates by 7:25am, had awesome photopass shots taken in front of the train station with the rising sun, managed to score an awesome pin trade (a 2005 food & dine 1/2 marathon pin), let through the gates by 7:45 and were on the first 7DMT shortly after. There was a tiny bit of a line, but only about 1 car load worth of people, but by the 4th ride, it was empty.... after 1 ride, 7DMT doesn't seem like a big deal, but after 6, 7 and 8, I was wobbly. The kids loved it, but we needed to stop. I was ready for some protein.... but I knew if we stopped, then my plans of getting my daughter to be first in line for Elena would be ruined because my daughter eats so slow. So we rode the slower rides.....well, Winnie the Pooh was making me nauseous and Peter Pan was decent. We were first in line for Elena at 8:55am and were at Pinnochio's haus for the breakfast buffet by 9:10am. The breakfast was great...i was famished and was stuffing my face with french toast while going through the buffet line. There was vegetable quiche, bacon, pork sausage, chicken sausage, eggs, potatoes, fruit platters, juices and coffee....it tasted great!
This was way better than a character meal (you spend the same amount of money, but you get the run of Fantasy Land) hands down.
My only tip is to make sure you have a little something in your stomach before going for EMM whether it's a power bar or a banana....my one cup of coffee (thinking that i could last till 9am) was definitely insufficient.
