FYI, there is chorizo in the Mexican egg dish--not vegetarian.

Was just able to book for January 23, so more (or hopefully ALL...haven't checked yet) of the January dates are now bookable

 

[AndreaDanger]

So I still can’t pull up times for 1/28 or 1/30. I called Disney and they’re telling me they’re sold out?!

Try again online, if you haven't already. Those dates are both now showing as bookable for me (but weren't previously).

Thanks for the heads up! I had literally checked less than an hour ago, and the later January dates weren't open yet. Saw your post, and I just booked for 1/28.

Yay! Yes, I'd been checking for my date to become available much more frequently than I care to admit.

It's possible that I may have been guilty of this myself.

I have a question for anyone who might have attended already, or would like to postulate: In my experience, they open DHS to the public at around 8:40am most days. Are they going to hold people back for EMM days, or is the actual EMM time truncated to whenever they let the day crowd in? Does anyone know for sure when the wristbands are supposed to be good until for the rides? Knowing that TSMM is super long with the new exit, I’m thinking of saving that one until the end, but I don’t want to accidentally miss out if the day crowds suddenly take over the ride, lol.

Haven't attended yet, but have done the MK EMM. This one is set to end at 8:45, right? So your wristband will allow access til 8:45. I'm sure they set the time that way knowing they let RD people in around 8:40. By the time they walk back to TSL, it should work out just about right.

I may or may not have just booked it... eep! January 28th is indeed bookable!

Thanks! That sounds about right. I know we got burned (completely our fault) with the MK EMM when we missed Peter Pan by seconds after the rope drop crowd arrived, so I wanted to calculate our time a bit more accurately this time!

I am still forever checking for February!! Hoping they release them soon!!

Just booked for January 21! Woo!

The Mexican egg bowl has Mexican sausage in it.

I read a review on Veg Disney group, apparently the mex bowl can easily be made vegetarian or even vegan. According to the chef, they've deliberately made those dishes easily adaptable to accommodate vegans.

Yay! B/c I would love to get this, but no chorizo for me!

I'll be there on January 16th! I'm so excited about doing this and Disney After Hours within a couple of days of each other. My partner is making grumbling noises about having to get up so early, but he'll get over it.

We’re doing them on the same day! Lol. My husband is stoked. He said it’s gonna be the best day ever. I’m a little worried about burning ourselves out. But I think we’re just gonna take a mid day break and we’ll be good. I’m so excited for both!

I'm vegan (but my partner and kids aren't) so I was really chuffed Are you a member of the Veg Disney group on Facebook? It's really useful. I'm going to WDW in 24 days (not that I'm counting haha!) and we're doing EMM at TSL and MK so I'm really looking forward to it!

I just booked EMM on the 23rd and had DAH on the 24th already but I think because they are SO spaced out that a midday break would definitely make this a great day if you're not dealing with kids (I am). Just don't try to go the whole way through you'll be miserable. The times are so extreme that a midday break would work fine!

A bit delayed in posting this, but here are some pictures from our event on the 17th!


Amazingly low crowds! It was great to get so many shots of such an empty park!


That group of people ahead is the line to meet Woody and Jessie. We didn't wait for them, but there was consistently a line all morning, however it never looked super long. We did meet Buzz and the line was very short, maybe 3 people ahead of us when we arrived, so the wait was minimal.


One of the two times we were the only two people on Slinky! The number of people riding dropped significantly after around 8:30.


Last but not least, my egg bowl from breakfast. I really liked this, the flavors were great. The only small complaint I had was there were just too many chips on the bottom!​
