We are going in Oct. and will only be there 5 days. So I was planning on going to most of the emh. To all Disney veterans, Is it extra crowded after that 1st hour is up and is it worth it? Any advice is appreciated.
I think up until 11:00am you would not even notice plus you are going during a relatively quieter time so I think you will be fine and go to the EE/EMH park provided you are there at opening. Maybe you will want to park hop from MK as it might get crowded
There have been some posts here by Len (who works on touring plans and the Unofficial Guide) that EMH at the Animal Kingdom actually adds time to your touring. I think that is because of few number of attractions in that park.
I think it is definitely worth it at MK and MGM and Epcot depend on if those few attractions are something you want to ride over and over.
