Early Morning Magic??

[Hezzy04]

I just decided to splurge and book my family the EMM package. As of now my plan is to go right back to 7DMT and ride it 3 or 4 times, then do PPF, then Winnie the Pooh....then back to 7DMT until park open.

My question.....first, does that sound do-able within the EMM time frame?

Second. What time should I plan to line up for regular attractions? Meaning, when does the rope drop crowd get let into the park? Should I plan to get my full time until 9? Or is it like Amy other day where the rope drop crowd will be in by 8:45. Just want to be sure we know when to expect to line up for other stuff

That sounds completely doable. Are you not planning on taking advantage of the breakfast offered? If you are, I'd head to do that no later than 9:30. Rope drop will be let in about the same time as always.

We do plan to do the breakfast! I forgot that I was also going to ask what the latest should be to plan for that! My husband and I eat fast and my kids basically won't eat. I was thinking 9:40.

How does the food work? Do you order? I feel like I remember seeing it as buffet style, but don't quite remember.... is all the food just removed at 10?

It is buffet style. At 9:40, you can probably still get fresh food! I've never stuck around until 10:00 to see if the food is removed right at, but I doubt it is.

Sounds totally doable! My daughter and I did this in October. We were able to use the FP+ lines on the EMM rides until exactly 9:00, so we did that and then headed to other rides. We went to breakfast at around 9:40/9:45-ish, and that was perfect. Breakfast wasn't crowded at all but the CMs continued refreshing food and drinks at the buffet until a little after 10. I expected to feel like an inconvenience walking in so late, but they didn't make us feel that way at all.

I agree with PP, thats what we did. I suggest getting your fill of 7DMT in as many times as possible early- as it gets closer to park opening they begin putting the ropes up- so instead of just turning around and going back in the FP line- you have to walk all the way out- then back in. Had we known about that we would have done the ride a few more times- then WTP then PP- then breakfast.

Is it basically walk ons for all 3 rides until the park opens?

Yep! The only ride we had to wait on was Pooh, and that was behind one party, so not much of a wait at all. As a PP mentioned, at the beginning of the morning the queue for 7DMT is configured so that you don't have to exit the loading/unloading area, making it really easy to get back on. As it got closer to park opening, we had to completely exit and go back through the entire FP line.
