For me no extra magic hours at Hollywood Studios would not be a big deal just for the first reason you mentioned-it's not a very packed or all day park. I'm disappointed that the magic hours are being cut back at all the other parks--maybe it's just the time of year we're going this time. May 31-June 6th. May 31st is the only day a park is offering EMH in the evening (which I prefer). The other days, the parks are all morning EMH.

I like extra magic hours because it tells me (as an off-site guest) which park NOT to visit. For morning hours, the park is already full off Disney hotel guests before I can get in, and for evening hours the afternoon and evening becomes packed with park hopping on-site guests.

It is very sad to see the hours cut. My family has seen the cuts, 2010 we stayed till 1-2 am enjoying the magic hours, we loved riding and enjoying the night. Especially in mid summer, nights r much more enjoyable. Last year, we really seen the changes with Disney cutting summer magic hours to 11-12.
The whole family loves Disney, so I hope Disney will think about the families while making these decisions.

Myself & my wife are coming to stay for the first time in a Disney Hotel in September & one of the reasons for booking is the extra magic hours. We will not be happy if they have been cut.

It's one of the main reasons I try to stay on property. I really hope they keep it going.

I loved the extra magic hours. It allowed for us to go rest and have dinner before going back in the evening. We never really used the early hours. Being in MK at 1am was an experience I'll never forget. The rides and the park seemed totally different. I will miss magic hours.

We've used the extra magic hours for years, and it is an integral part of our "schedule of fun" planning. Cutting it back further will sadly make me realistically think about staying off property (utterly inconceivable before!)
