AK/Can we accomplish all this during EMH ?

[davkata]

If we plan to go to EMH at AK with an 8 am opening...Can we hit EE (we can use single rider once they open it), Safari and Dinosaur and still make it to Boma for 10:50? Assuming we should be out front for the bus by 9:50/10, maybe pushing it to 10:15 if I'm feeling daring. I know I should know this as I've planned these things the last 3 years, but we've always been during 7 AM openings so there was an extra hour to spare. We had planned on Tusker House, hence no travel time to worry about, but SIL lives in the area and wants to meet up with us during our mid-day break time, but won't have park passes.

2. Safari and Dinosaur and still make it to Boma for 10:50? Assuming we should be out front for the bus by 9:50/10, maybe pushing it to 10:15 if I'm feeling daring.

1. No need to use Single Rider on EE at 8AM-ish (likely won't be open that early, anyway.)
The line loads super-fast in the early morning.
2. I'd do Dinosaur FIRST, then Safari. A bit less walking. (But, either way should work.)

You should be finished and out of AK park by or before 9:30-ish.

should be no problem in 2 hours.

In my experience, you could definitely do those rides and be out front by 9:50. I can't really attest to the AK to Boma time from personal experience, but an hour strikes me as plenty of time... but I'm sure someone else who has done it will have thoughts on that for you...

Do you mean we should start at Dino? That does makes the most sense map-wise, but EE is priority so we were planning to go there first. Then Dino or Safari depending what wait times are. I know Safari times rise quickly in the am. I should add this is the week before Memorial Day. If that makes a difference crowd wise. We are used to President's week crowds, so it shouldn't be worse than that (I hope).

EE. Dino. Safari.

(But, EE. Safari. Dino. would not be too much different.)

Safari EATS guests in the mornings, pretty quickly.
In fact (and a reason to do Dino before) there can be a bit of a lull at Safari about 30-40 min, or so after the park first opens.

We usually do Safari (line builds faster), EE (still reasonable after safari), Dino on the way out -- if we're only hitting these three.

Honestly, it'll work in any order, I think!

EE
Dino
Safari.

Thanks Robo! I rely on your advice a lot and appreciate the input!
