EMH MK Princess Advice

[southernfriedmom]

Trying to take my girls to see as many girl characters at MK before spending 2-3 days of boy stuff at SWW. Anyone have advice for which order to try to hit the girl characters to minimize the wait time? We are using FP for A&E, C&R, and probably Tink. Think I read Merida is the longest wait w/out FP but also that she's not out for the early magic hour so I'm not sure who we can see before she arrives & how early to get in her line. Would greatly appreciate any tips!

We've had luck seeing Ariel first thing in the morning. Later in the day the wait can be longer.

Personally I would FP+ Anna and Elsa and probably Cinderella and Rapunzel.

If I were you I'd make a list of characters that are out during EMH and work from there

I'd walk into the park and go immediately to Tinker Bell in her new location.

Then I'd head back to Ariel and do her as a walk on (line should not be long)

I would (on the way back to Ariel) eye the Cinderella / Rapunzel line - if it is short enough I'd hop into it and use the prebooked FP for another ride / attraction later on.

Merida comes out at 9:15 - Tiana at 9:30 ? And then Jasmine will be out around that time too. None of those have FP.

I would recommend you use one of your FP for Enchanted Tales with Belle - prebook that it can be a hard one to get.

For Jasmine get there early (so for 10:20 get there at 10). If you show up at the time she's supposed to come out the line may already be closed due to the number of guests already waiting for that set.


I will say the Aladdin we had meeting with her was awesome.

Thanks Good Morning Dewdrop!! I think our paths have crossed on the SWW board too!! I've got those days planned minute by minute and now trying to put something together for a fun day for my girls too. We must be on the same wave length- I've already booked FP for both Fairytale Hall M & G. We will probably wait to visit with Belle at Epcot where she'll sign (not to mention we've done Enchanted Tales several times and both our boys have gotten to be Beast). So is Tink out during EMH at her new location? Have any idea when the Merida line starts forming during EMH? I'd hate to waste precious magic hour time waiting but don't want to wait too long. I normally follow KtP's plans but I know everything has changed so recently I'm not sure those plans are up to date yet.

I'm not 100% sure about Tink meeting during EMH but I think I read somewhere that she was. Steve Soares (spelling?) used to post park time schedules week by week - if you can find a link to his site (I used to have it bookmarked but don't anymore) - you can find out easily - if she says "park opening to x" then she will be out for EMH. We try not to do Merida on EMH days as the line will form significantly (IMO) before 9:15 - I think we've gotten in line around 8:45 before and been in the 2nd 'batch' of people for a meet/ greet - but we were early in the 2nd group. Normally when we want to meet her we go directly there at RD (non EMH day).

And yes, We did go to the first SWW - it was our first time and we had a blast! Our DD (age 14) loves princesses, fairies and Star Wars!

I'm sure you all are going to have a blast!

Thanks guys!! I just about have my plan of attack. My only sticking point is I can't decide the best time to hit up Merida since this is our only MK day & it's EMH.
