Just curious...why don't they open WS until 11am? I've always wondered.
I've always assumed it's so they don't need to staff two shifts of employees.

We don't find Epcot morning EMH to be beneficial because we stay at the BC and enter through the IG. The main gate crowd beats us to TT or Soarin' every time. Now we book an 8:00 AM breakfast at GG on a morning where Epcot opens at 9 and we can get on Soarin or at least get in line for TT before the main gate crowd.
We used to LOVE morning EMHs at AK before Pandora.. there was hardly anyone there... now I'm sure it's probably crazy. We also find morning EMHs to be beneficial at MK.
I am hoping that we will still love. We won't be going into Pandora during that time. So, maybe the rest of the park will be as per normal?

Time Zone Difference
Sooooooo "walking the world" should leave you with one pounding case of jetlag!Yup.
It's well known that the UK is on ZULU time.
So, the rest of Epcot's timing must be off.
If you run around the world showcase fast enough, and in the correct order, you can go backwards in time...without needing a flux capacitor. It's science.

With it being the first day of F&W it's not surprising that Epcot is super crowded today.
We love morning EMH and typically get a lot done in that hour.
First day of F&W---it's gonna be a flippin ZOO no matter what time you go in.
We aren't rope drop people so EMH in the AM is a never, ever for us
I have been to Disney many times and happen to be there when you were. I agree. Epcot was the busiest I have seen it for a magic hour. It was terrible. It has to be because it is the first day of the Food festival. We still managed to get on Frozen and Test Track. I would highly NOT recommend going to AK on the early magic days. We went the day after. It may have been because it was raining, but we had a great time. Very little wait for all ride except for FOP. We waited 1 1/2 in the evening. It was worth it.Here now. Did extra magic hours at animal kingdom on Monday and today at Epcot
I will never do it again. It is not worth it at all. Waking up 75 minutes early, spending an hour baking in the sun smashed together with strangers, stampeding to attraction only to wait in a half hour line is not worth it. I got separated from my group so I didn't even ride. The crowd at Epcot this morning was huge.
I'll definitely stick with the theory to stay away from the extra magic hours park in the future.
