AM EMH Fastpass question

[KristenG88]

Just wondering whether they start giving out fastpasses at the start of the AM EMH, or if they are not given out until the official park opening? We are trying to put together a strategy for our morning at Epcot next week. I've heard conflicting answers about this, and wanted to know if anyone knew the official rule about it. Thanks!

The FP machines are open at the begining of EMH but they are normally for the same times as if the park opens at 9am. Occasionally I have seen them for a sooner time but plan on them being for the same time they would be for a regular opening. Soarin would have FP that start at 9:20-9:30ish, TT for 9:45ish and Mission Space for 9:45ish. This would be for the first FP given out for the day. Generally the FP don't start until after the first hour that the park is open. It allows more people to go through standby at this time.

You can get them but they won't be useably during EMH generally. There are times when they do start earlier I am just stating when the normally start not what ahppens every day, but yes you can get them during morning EMH.

Toy Story Mania's FP generally start at 10am for the first ones of the day for example.

Thanks for the quick answer. That fits our plan perfectly. We want to get a fastpass for Soarin first then ride TT and MS as many times as we can till the Soarin FP time.
