EMH and Rope Drop

[Tinkified]

Silly question, but had to confirm...Rope drop times would be adjusted for EMH in the morning, correct?

So if MK normally opens at 9am....EMH makes it an 8am openning...so in order to make rope drop, my arrival should be at 7:30ish? Yes?

TIA

I believe that is correct. I just saw a post about this the other day.

Same ? here ~ will Mickey & friends still arrive by train to open the park?

I'm trying to remember. I don't think they did for the MK EMH that we did in June. Remember, too, that not all attractions are open for EMH in the AM. Mostly Tomorrowland and some of Fantasyland.

Yes, you should arrive at least 30 minutes before the gates are scheduled to open, regular hours or EMH.

But don't expect the MK "Rope Drop Ceremony" to be performed on AM EMH days.

They used to do that at MK, but as of late (all this year) have not performed the formal Rope Drop (called Magic Kingdom Welcome) except for an audio tape playback (with no characters or train) on EMH mornings.

BTW, there is no need to "guess" if they will or won't...
