Best strategy vis a vis EMH?

[Davey Jones II]

So I`m planning our Oct. 29-Nov. 9 WDW jaunt, and was wondering about strategies taking into account EMH. I`ve read the following strategies:

* Go to the park that is having EMH tomorrow.

* Go to the park that had EMH yesterday.

* Go to a park (in the evening) that had EMH that morning.

So which of these, in your experience, works the best, given that we want to avoid heavy crowds? Or do you have another strategy that worked for you? Thanks, everyone!

P.S.: One of our park days is Oct. 31. MK will have EMH that morning. If we`re not early enough for EMH, should we still go to the MK? I know that party days are usually a good time to go.

I would avoid MK on Halloween. Holidays of all types are very busy for MK. I also wouldn't assume a party day will be "good", just because you've read that. It might be good, or not. I've read reports of them sometimes not being good.

In general, you should try to attend EMH if you are eligible for them. They really help, not least because there is no FastPass usage slowing down standby lines during EMH. We use EMH during every trip, always find them useful, and never park hop away from that park before or after the EMH. That simply hasn't been necessary in our experience.

But if you are not eligible for EMH, or if you can't get up early enough/stay up late enough to fully use them, then avoid that park for the day if possible.
