AK Morning EMH... but skipping Pandora at RD

[Muskegon78]

We are going to AK on 2 of our trips days and have FP+ for both Pandora rides on separate days. Our first day there is morning EMH and we plan to avoid Pandora at that time completely, returning later morning for one of the FP. If we are there at rope drop and plan to go to EE first...A) what time should we get there, and can we avoid the Pandora crowd completely? B)Does the Pandora crowd draw so many people where multiple no wait rides at EE are possible?

I would probably get there right at or a little after 8:00. By that time, the Pandora crowd will already be in the park and out of the way and you should be able to walk right in and head to EE. You should be able to get multiple rides on EE with no problem.

We arrived for AK about 15 minutes before regular park opening and went to ride Safari then EE. They had already started letting people in when we arrived and there was a long line out of Pandora. We were held at the entrance to Asia until 9 then went straight to Safari. It was much busier than in past years when we arrived for morning rope drop and there was a good crowd for Safari. By the time we got over to EE around 9:30 there was a decent wait but we rode single rider a couple of times without issue.

I'd get there about 15-30 minutes before opening, but I'd expect crowds.
