Early Morning Hours & Fastpass

[Elmo007]

When a park has AM extra magic hours, at what time do they start distributing fast passes?

Last time I went to HS on a non EMH day, I arrived at Rope Drop and it was a 25 minute line just for the FP for Toy Story. I am thinking of going on an EMH day but dont know if they start FP at 8am or at 9am when the regular hours start.

Thanks

They start distributing FPs as soon as the park opens for EMH. They do not wait until normal hours begin.

Those FP lines are ridiculous, aren't they?!

I think that with the new enforcement of FP times, the ridiculous lines at Soarin and TSM will start getting shorter. We will see.

Getting a FP for toy story is one of the reasons I dont like the enforcement schedule. If you dont get there first thing, you run the risk of not getting one. You wait in line 25 minutes just to get the FP and then the return time is during a show you wanted to see. You either just wasted 25 minutes waiting for a FP or cant see the show. Or if you come back later, the return time is at 8pm. Then you have the choice of waiting standby and losing 60-95 minutes or having a FP that conflicts with the Fantasmic show (and what if you had a dinner show package)

At least at HS where many of the attarctions are lengthy shows, FP enforcement is not a good idea IMHO. It may be different at MK where a ride on Space Mountain or Small world is less of a time investment. But I would hate to lose my FP at Toy Story because of a longer experience like a show.

That being said I will do the EMH, ride Toy story, get a FP for later in the day and move on.
