EMH or not - need advice

[Plan Man]

My family (adult children and girlfriends) a total of eight of us will be at Disney for 3 days in early May. The first day we are together AK is EMH and MK is evening EMH. Is it worth it to try to do AK in the morning, rest in afternoon and go to MK in the early evening for MK?

are you sure you're seeing that right? two parks don't usually both have EMH on the same day.

May 15th They also have two on the 16tth and 17th. Info from the DIS

interesting. looking at disney's site and touringplans.com, they both only show AK having morning EMH on May 15. Nothing at MK. Anyway, to answer your question, I'd say it is definitely worth it and reasonable to do so. Especially if you're staying on property. Taking a few hours mid-day to rest and recharge at the resort and then heading out to another park in the evening is the approach that we take most days.

So I may not have listed the info correctly. AK is morning early open and MK is Evening extra hours.

 

[dbavis]

yeah, i understood. i don't think that is right. https://touringplans.com/walt-disney-world/crowd-calendar/date/2017-05-15.

 

[dbavis]

oh, or are you talking about the paid extra hours at MK?

 

[Plan Man]

Hmmm..... I am looking at the DIS website - going from parks to park hours and it is orange for AK and green for MK

 

[Plan Man]

I did go to the official Disney website and it doesn't show MK. The DIS site must be wrong?? A rare error??

 

[dbavis]

oh, yeah, i see that now. i could definitely be wrong but i don't think that is right. our trips are always in the June/July time of year and my experience has always been that only one park each day offers EMH in either the morning or the evening. maybe it is different other times of the year but this also doesn't seem consistent with what other sources have. maybe someone else can jump in that know more. i just want to make sure you're working with the right information. (and, of course, the hours could potentially extend/change as you get closer to May. at least, that's been my experience as well)

According to the Disney website there are only EMH at one park per day for the first week of May. In the event that more EMH are added it is not only worth it to attend EMH in the morning and the evening but the best way to get the most for your (Parkhopper) money. We usually go in the summer and there is almost always morning and evening EMH. Depending on the attendance and occupancy levels, Disney could add EMH at any time.
Cheers!!!

There is no EMH at two separate parks on the same day for those dates. I have never seen EMH at two parks on the same day, but that does not mean it doesn't happen. But for May 15-17, only 1 park has EMH. You should go to the Disney website first and not some other site for the information.

On Friday, February 3 there is EMH at MK in the morning and HS in the evening. I was planning to do both. I usually avoid EMH but we have a 2 days trip and want to pack in as much as possible. What is 7DMT like at 8am EMH?
