Do I bother to change my park days due to HS adding EMM?

[Queen of the WDW Scene]

Here is my current plan...
Tuesday: AK/MK (MK has EMM that day)
Wednesday: HS/Epcot doing the FEA Illuminations dessert party.
Thursday: MK/Epcot likely leaving before Epcot closes as long as Illuminations goes off the night before.

Now HS added EMM on Wednesday.

The only other plan is
Tuesday: HS/Epcot (would prefer to leave prior to Illuminations but worried about the potential cancellation of Illuminations on dessert party day)
Wednesday: AK/MK but then hopping to Epcot just for the dessert party. (This is what is so not logical lol)
Thursday: MK/Epcot and possibly having to stay to watch Illuminations if it were cancelled the night before and we hadn't stayed on Tuesday.

I could do the Thursday dessert party at Epcot but I would still have to stay and see it on Tuesday in case it was cancelled on Thursday.
If only Epcot had the dessert party on Tuesdays but they don't because they have PM EMH.

See how plan B starts getting a bit all over the place?

We will not be doing TSL at RD but rather RNRC and TOT which was perfect since most would be headed to TSL but now people from EMM will be filtering into RNRC and TOT.
But how many people? EMM is pretty limited correct?

So is it worth switching my plans or just leave as is?

EMM does not affect 'regular hours' guests.

EMM and EMH are 2 totally different things.
EMM is a hard ticket that doesn't add many people to the park.
EMH is the park opening 1 hour earlier than usual for resort guests. This can add a lot of people to a park.
i would not change plans for an EMM day, but might for EMH if we weren't going to be there early.

I am not at all confused between EMM and EMH...
I assume EMM is decently limited but wasn't sure how many additonal people would be headed towards what I wanted to do at RD.

Why do you think there is a chance of cancelling Illuminations? I don't think I've ever seen a thread or a mention of Illuminations being cancelled.

I don't think EMM participants are enough to change your plans. Yes, there will be a few more people headed in the direction you want to go than if there was no EMM, but we're not talking hundreds of people. There are only a couple hundred total and some of those will be headed to breakfast, some will stay in TSL, some will go to Star Tours, etc.

Illuminations HAS been cancelled due to weather. Once in 2014 it really should have been since it was a massive thunder storm but wasnt but seems like they have been doing it more since then.
