EMM Strategy (Fantasyland)

[shm_helene]

So working on my plans for MK right now. We will be there at least two days. I've read through quite a variety of posts but I'm still unsure.

Question 1:
My plan for the EMM is to do Pooh/Princess/SDMT/PP/SDMT? How many times do you think we might get on SDMT if we do this plan (with no problems)? I was hoping to get at least 5 times in. I know that will be tight. Any help here is appreciated. I would love to add in other attractions to get them out of the way. Any other strategy insight is welcome.

Question 2:
I'm thinking we might try to meet Merida right out of the gates because we've never met her before. Will the holding place be anywhere near her? We don't need to do any of the mountains on this day other than SDMT.

Question 3:
Before we eat I want to meet Merida and do Ariel. Would it make sense to burn a FP on either Ariel or Under the Sea? These usually have little to no wait at this time but they have long walks and I thought they might help me get in more "rides" before we eat. I would LIKE to do Merida, Ariel, Disney Pals and maybe Little Mermaid ride before 9:45 if that's possible (I know that's a stretch). FYI, we are trying to knock out Fantasy and Tomorrow. We have all day but will leave in the middle of the day as it's summer. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I had things down after we did EMM last year but with all these extra rides and moving the bfast they screwed with my plans. I'm sure I'll have more questions. TIA!

We did EMM recently, we rode SDMT four times, PP twice, Pooh before 9, We then headed over at rope drop to BTM and rode it twice, then headed to breakfast at 9;45. I think Merida's meet starts at 9:15 the holding area is just to the left of her greeting area, witch is very close to Cosmic Ray's, where bfast is. I think your plan Pooh/Princess/SDMT/PP/SDMT could work, the princess can take up some time depending on the size of your group(pics and autographs). I would do PP/Pooh/SDMTX2/UTSJ, then Ariel meet at 9 with a FP, then to Merida and Bfast. Then have the Princess FP for 10, as soon as I swipe in, I would modify my 3rd fast pass to an earlier time, Then grab 4,5,6 FP's as need Good luck with your EMM plans

I would do PP, meet princesses, Pooh, then sdmt multiple times. The line for sdmt is highest at the start of emm but then dies down. As emm ends, go meet Ariel and ride under the sea- both should have minimal wait at 9 and you would be done by 920. Stop by and meet Merida. Then breakfast.
