If your goal is FOP with a short wait, the same rule as any other day applies: get there earlier than most everyone else with the same idea. My daughter waited 90 minutes late last year even though she got there around 7:00a.
Agree - everyone heads to FOP. Our bus from AKL was really full at 630.
We had a FOP fastpass, so headed elsewhere in the park - which was lovely as it was so quiet. I wouldn't recommend a Safari as the animals were not really out yet (we saw more at our FP in the morning).
Just know that the Safari does not always open when EMH begins and there's really no way of knowing if it will until you're there. Have a Plan B just in case.
7am EMH at AK is awesome, especially if you aren't heading to Pandora. I swear it was like we saw 10 other guests before 8. If you aren't heading to Pandora there's not much point arriving more than 10 minutes early though...
