EE/MM Question

[mmmears]

Does anyone know what days of the week have EE or MM and which rides are open? Any info or a point in the right direction for more info would be appreciated! We're planning a last-minute trip next week and I haven't had time to prepare! I usually plan things way ahead, so now I'm just trying to catch up!

The S and T days (sunday saturday tuesday and thursday). Fantasyland rides (but not usually Storybookland), Nemo, and sometimes Buzz, I think. Some have reported Space Mountain, but I haven't experienced that.


There's a big thread started by DLR29 (I think that's right) that you can search back a few pages for (just go page by page and skim the thread titles, don't use the search function)...

LOL, or google "disboards DLR29" and you get to the thread.

Wow, that's so cool. I can google myself!

One thing regarding MM is that if you want to ride Nemo with a manageable wait, I would arrive at the gates about 45 minutes before MM begins. It's early, but if you don't arrive that early, then Nemo's line will be excrutiating later. But if you only plan on riding the Fantasyland rides, you don't have to arrive that early.

I have a quick question about EE-isn't it true that those who are staying on the property get in an hour early every morning? Thanks!

Yes every morning that MM is offered. So Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. On non-MM days entry is the same for all.

It looks like you're going to be there starting next weekend - the same as us! I read here earlier that the days are a bit different due to a couple of Grad night events.

Here's what I copied:
For the week Sunday the 8th thru Friday the 13th the MM will be on Sunday Tuesday and Wednesday. The way it was explained to me is that the MM will not happen on the day after Grad night. They told me Grad night last till 6am so they will not open the park early the next day because they need time to get ready for regular crowd.

So for next week, I think the only difference is that it's Wed instead of Thur.

Is Nemo just the ride from...you know...no matter what time of year?

We'll be there in the fall, during midweek, but should we still plan to use one of our EE's for Nemo?

It depends. Last fall the lines were still like an hour+ when the other ride lines were short. If you have more than one MM, then I would definitely recommend using one of them for Nemo and the other for Fantasyland. If you have one MM, then you will probably have to choose between FL or Nemo. If you have some young Nemo fans, then definitely ride Nemo. If you have young ones, but not big Nemo fans, then definitely Fantasyland. If you don't have any little ones, then I would choose Fantasyland and save Nemo for an evening.

We were there last August and got there about 45 min prior to MM. We walked 'briskly' to Nemo and were lucky enough to get on the first sub of the day! We still had plenty of time to do pretty much all of FL after. This worked out perfectly for us because our kiddos, DD4 and DS2 (at the time!) NEVER would have survived the Nemo lines any other time as they were ALWAYS outrageously long!
