A&e mg plan?

[mcjingles]

Which would you do?

EE Saturday 10/25 first thing?

OR

Regular open Monday 10/27 first thing?

I would do Monday. Get there early for rope drop (they will let people on MS about 30 minutes prior to opening. Look for a CM to the left of the castle or ask where the A&E M&G line up is. Get in there and hold your spot because people will try and get in on it. When the park opens, the CM will take the line to the M&G queue.
I am not sure if they are starting the M&G during EE, so hopefully you will have less wait on Monday.

I will be there the same Days as you, and was also considering both your options. Since I'm not staying on site I will be using Magic Morning on Saturday, but I don't want it to go to waste by just standing in line at A&E so I think I will try my luck at going early on a non EE MM day.

I think I will see you in line Monday! crowd calendar reports low attendance that day too.

Do the regular open. We went this morning and were the very first family in line. My son got to carry it all the way down and we have some amazing solo shots in front of the castle and carousel.

We were at the gates at 8am for a 9am open. First ones through at 8:30 and then ran for the line. Super easy (if you don't mind waiting 30 minutes first thing at the gate) and then it find' feel like waiting at all because the line is walked into FL first. We actually saw A&E before the park opened and they had to hold us until official opening before sending us on our way. We were the first guests on three separate attractions!

For Sure!!!!! I will be with my DD6 and so far the plan is me and DD6 will wait in line to be later joined by DW and DS2.

Quick Question: Were both Sisters present when you were the first person in line?

Thank you for sharing your experience it helps us planners a lot.

We studied the process on Friday (no MM) while we got in position to head to Peter Pan. They had the line form and then walked them up before opening up the park to others. I asked a CM if they do the same thing during MM and she said that it depends on how soon they open the gates. We did A&E on Tuesday during MM and it was an entirely different process than what we saw on Friday. No line formed at the statue. DH was told to just walk straight through the castle and the line would form at the meet n greet location. The kids and I walked slowly and met up with him in line and the CMs were fine with that. We were finished seeing them in 15 minutes. It looked a lot more orderly on the non MM day though.

Yes! both sisters. The Photopass photographer was still setting up though, so we didn't get any photos other than our own. Still totally worth it and I'd do it exactly the same way again next time.

Thanks all for the input!
And yay! To both sisters. There's gonna be a 4 year old melt down if they both aren't there!
