BOG Early on EMM?

[Erikbo16]

Is it worthwhile booking an 8am BOG breakfast during EMM? We are quite up for visiting BOG but would be hoping for some strategic advantage, however small, when it comes to experiencing the rides.
I'm taking my daughters in July, is it unlikely to find an PPO BOG on a morning that doesn't have either EMM, EMH or end up with an 8am opening?
We are staying off sight and don't think will have the cash for EMM.
Thank you in advance.

Granted procedures can change on any given day, but generally speaking BOG PPO guests on an EMM morning report being allowed to line up for 7DMT after breakfast. At some point they’ll move the group to the standby line, where you’ll be held until pretty much right at 9am when EMM ends.

So yes, a PPO breakfast has a relative advantage to rope drop - in all likelihood you’ll be among the first on the ride, it just won’t happen before 9am.

On the plus side, if it’s an EMM morning it’s guranteed the 9am park opening time won’t change, so one less thing to worry about.

Hope that helps.

This. We went on a non EMM day and we were only let on early enough for 1 ride (which was all I was assuming anyway). It makes sense that they do it that way now because if you let people get several PPO rides, people wouldn't do EMM. I don't think there's much chance that there will be an additional benefit to having the PPO on a non EMM day and as stated above, with EMM you don't have to worry about park hours being extended.

Great, very helpful.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Still keep an eye out to make sure they don't cancel the EMM. They have done that in the past and could still put your PPO in jeopardy of not being a PPO.

Will do
