EMH evening crowds in February?

[Laralyn]

I'm trying to make this a vacation my boyfriend will enjoy and find relaxing. His idea of a day off includes getting to sleep in a bit longer (until around 10), and that's only going to be more true this year since we're in California... so WDW is already 3 hours later for us. Getting up in time for a 9AM park opening would be getting up before 5AM for our internal clocks!

The past two visits, I got him up at the right time to get to the park at or shortly after opening, but he didn't enjoy the mornings. He was just going and trying not to be crabby to humor me. ;-)

So here's my question: if you want to plan around sleeping later, is it worth going to the EMH parks for the evening hours and staying until close? Are the last couple hours of evening EMH less crowded? Would you go to a non-EMH park for the day, then park hop to the EMH evening park?

I've never gone to an EMH before, so I have no idea what to expect. We're going 2/11-2/17, if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Sure, why not?

Nobody can predict exactly what a diverse, ever-changing population of guests from around the globe will or won't do on any given night.

Go to EMH and stay until the crowds (if any) dissolve as the even gets later.
If its just "too" crowded, leave the park (although there won't be another park to go to at that late hour anyway, so why stress?)
EMH is free to try.

I'm worried because I would pretty much be banking on being able to enjoy the parks mostly during those EMH. So, for example, our one day at AK might start at 2PM and last through the EMH... so if the EMH is crowded and we couldn't do much, I would not get a second chance to the AK that trip.

It's so sad that I feel like a six night trip is not enough time!
