Do you arrive a half hour early for EE?

[angelhair45]

If the park opens at 10am, then EE starts at 9. Should I be there at 8:30?

Only if you plan on riding Nemo-if not then 9am should be fine!

Depends on what you want to do, and if you want to be one of the first people in the park. On 9/21, when the parks open at 8, with 7am EE, I arrived with my daughter at 7:09, and we were the only ones there. It was too early -- security didn't show up until close to 7:30am, so we had to go back past security and wait for them. We did end up in the front of our line, and were on the first Nemo sub (but we had to RUN fast to get over to Nemo once the park opened).

I suspect that when EE is later, then more people show up earlier. I think in almost all cases you will be close to the front of the line if you arrive at 40 minutes before opening, and still in good shape if you arrive at 30 minutes prior (but you won't be first in line). If you aren't planning to go on Nemo, then arriving even slightly later will probably be fine, since most people right now who go early are trying to get over to Nemo.

If you want to effeciently do the FantasyLand rides during EE, then i recommend you arrive no later than 8:30am. Being one of the first on PP vrs. 5 minutes later is the difference between no line at PP & a LONG line at PP.

Also if you are one of the first on PP you can ride Dumbo on the first or second cycle & then you're off to Alice or the Matterhorn. Riding PP & Dumbo before the deluge allows you to ride 8-10 FL rides during that important EE hour.

This thread discusses EE & the sugested ride order during EE that I received from some of the respected posters here:

But if you were planning on using EE to ride Nemo....i'll have to do a Rosanne Rosanna Dan impression. "Nevermind..."

(Or which Gilda Radner character was that? - Emily Littel...or sumthin?)

If you get to the park at 9:00- you will not get in until at least 9:15-9:30 depending on the crowd that day. Then another few minutes to walk to Fantasyland or Nemo. By the time you ride your first ride it will be at least 9:30. We always get there at least 30 minutes early for EE.
