EMH during holidays,avoid or not ?

[marivaid]

OK so I'm going nuts trying to plan the "perfect" trip here (alright it doesnt have to be perfect,as long as we get back in one piece and dont need a week to get over it that'd be fine). I have the touring plans, the guide book, crowd level calendar thing etc etc etc.. that's just way too much info for my formerly blonde brain

The guide book says to avoid evening EMH at all costs. What is your experience with them ? I cant decide what to do for the first 2 days we're here (Dec 28 and Dec 29)

Option #1 : Early EMH on Thursday morning at MK, then a break, then Epcot : watching Illuminations from R&C and then doing rides during EMH.
Friday, early EMH at AK, take a break, then MGM for Fantasmic and rides during evening EMH.

Option #2 : Early EMH on Thursday at MK then a break then go to MGM that night (no evening EMH).
Friday, early EMH at AK, then a break, then Epcot (no evening EMH), then finish the evening at Downtown Disney.

If we go during evening EMH at Epcot and MGM, will it be so crowded that we wont be able to do anything ?
If we go for a regular night, what are the chances that they will NOT run out of FP by the time we get there around 5pm ?

Sorry for all the questions, did I mention I was going NUTS here?!

EMHs have never been a problem.

This is where I have to put in a plug for Tour Guide Mike. After doing many holiday seasons without his aid and thinking that we did a pretty good job of it, we finally used TGM last year. Best $ we ever spent! We really cut down our wait time with it! I would give it a try.

I'd probably do #2. From what I've heard, Morning EMH are much less crowded than Evening EMH. If you can do 2 Mrning EMH in a row, go ahead. Most of us can't get up that early.
