EMH RD stragegy - MK

[lily2521]

If right at RD on an EMH day at MK:

Head straight to 7D first thing,
then Peter Pan's Flight
then Enchanted Tales
then Little Mermaid

...is that a good strategy to knock those out right away? They don't necessarily need to be in that order, just looking at a map figuring this might be the best?

We'd FP Buzz, A&E, and another 7D ride for that same day, early afternoon. Hoping to add a meet Rapunzel & Cinderella FP for our 4th later in the day

After just reading another post about 7D at RD, maybe I should skip 7D at RD, and just rely on our FP later in the day for it? If we skip 7D, and do Peter Pan, Enchanted Tales, and Little Mermaid, that might be a better strategy?

But since it will be an EMH day, and we're still doing RD, maybe 7D won't be so bad?

FWIW we're looking at a crowd level 5 day.

Personally, I'd avoid SDMT at rope drop IF you have a fp+ for it. The crowds rushing to it and A&E are just unbearable and it's not pleasant. Besides, it eats up time during EMH that you could be riding and doing so many other things. It's been our experience, even during a much more crowded time, that the opposite side of the park is near empty during EMH and very, very light for a least an hour after opening that we got a ton of rides in with little or no wait.

I'd do PP, Enchanted Tales, Mermaid and just use the FP+ for 7DMT.

Same, I am not going near 7DMT at RD - too crazy, especially since I have a FP for it at around 10:30ish. While I would love to be able to ride it twice., I really want to make sure I'l get all of my must dos done, so I would go for PP, LM< ETw/Belle, ect - maybe even try for one of the other "mountains" if that interests you, esp if you don't have a FP.

If you could swing by 7DMT before going to one of the others to check the line, that would work. The line will probably be scary though. You kind of need to go near it anyway, but there may be a better route that I'm not thinking of.

Of our 2 MK days, one has EMH's, one doesn't.

Would you suggest heading to Fantasyland at RD on our non-EMH day, and doing the plan I listed above, or - doing the above plan on our non-EMH day? That way, we could head to the opposite side of the park at RD on our EMH day, as you said the opposite side might not be as busy as Fantasyland?

I think after reading other posts here as well, I'll avoid SDMT at RD, and rely on our FP to ride it.

If I were doing the plan you listed above, I'd do it on an non-emh day and use the emh day for riding other things. EMH days get especially crowded after regular opening. So you have at least that first hour and probably 2 hrs total before you start seeing it get crowded. At least that's how it works for us. If you used the EMH day to ride SDMT, you'll probably lose any edge for riding anything standby and you'll be fighting a bigger crowd.
