EMH at DCA

[DisneyJamieCA]

We're staying onsite this trip, so have EMH. I know the FP machines don't turn on until park opening, so what is the best plan of attack? I prefer not to go into stand by for RSR, even first thing in the morning due to how often it is down. It is best to do Luigi's & Maters, head over TSMM, something else? What time should we get into the FP line? And is there a separate FP line for EMH guests? Where does that start? We've only done it on a non-EMH day before.

Thanks for any advice!

It is best to do Luigi's & Maters, head over TSMM, something else? You may be better off going to TSMM first and get a few rides in. Then go to Luigis and Mater's. Take advantage of the other DCA rides you want to go on.

What time should we get into the FP line? I would line up 10-15 minutes before they open the gates to all guests.

And is there a separate FP line for EMH guests? Yes. The EMH guests can line up inside the rope, non-EMH guests will begin lining up on the other side. When the gates open, they will lead the non-EMH guests line to the end of the EMH guests line.

Where does that start? At it's Tough to be a Bug

I agree with Girimama33's advice and here are some pics so you can get an idea of what the lines look like. These pictures were taken during EMH this summer and the same procedure is still being followed when I was there this past weekend.

This is the EMH FP line for RSR. As you can see, the people in this line are very close to the distribution machines. Get into this line at about 10 minutes until regular park opening.

This picture shows the regular park guests at the rope for Carsland. If you look in the back of the picture, under the building which is Carthay Circle, you can see another line. This is the regular FP line. At a minute or two before park opening, a CM walks this regular FP line to the back of the EMH FP line.

Thank you both so much! I feel much more comfortable with our plans now. So it looks like we'll head to TSMM first!
