From following all of this, and being one of those that were deciding about switching, I think that the overriding thought is that it won't matter. However, since Disney hasn't really told anyone why there are two time slots, and come out and said what the differences are or are not, I think it's human nature to wonder and, for lack of a better word, worry. Will anything substantially change in my life if it turns out that there is a difference and the 7:00 slot would have worked better for me? No, of course not. In the grand scheme of my life, does EMM at DHS even matter? No, of course not. However, we are on a message board, and Disney did start a new event and add a mysterious second time slot with little to no explanation, so is that going to cause a lot of discussion and angst? Yes, of course so
! I'd bet that most people on these boards that ask little questions and then get both kind and unkind responses, helpful and unhelpful responses, know that whether or not there is a hook in the bathroom, or what kind of hairdryer is in the room (for example, completely made up right now), aren't life or death questions but just ones they happened to decide mattered to them at that moment. It's nice when you have somewhere to ask and get a reliable answer, since we have all learned that simply calling and asking Disney isn't actually simple or reliable.
Since this is odd and unknown, and annoying that they have no real answer, everyone is just speculating and questioning. Until they do the first one with 2 time slots we won't know, but that doesn't mean no one is going to post until then. So I just read and keep up, and chime in occasionally if I have a question or feel I have something to add. In fact, in an odd kind of way I feel better knowing there are others in the same boat as I am, and when someone else posts that they haven't changed times to 7:00 I feel like we're in some kind of little club, waiting to see if we should have joined or not
