EMM strategy

[kdnmom]

We decided to splurge and treat the family to EMM tickets for our middle son's birthday. I'm trying to decide what the best plan is for the 9-10am hour, and therefore what Fastpasses to get for later in the day. Splash and Space are probably his favorite rides.

So, do we head over to Splash and BTMRR as soon as we're able at 9? Will we have time to do both before returning to breakfast by 9:45 or so? Or do we head over to do Space and either Buzz or Speedway? Probably more crowds go to Tomorrowland right at opening than make it all the way back to Splash/BTMRR. Ideally we'd like to ride Splash and Space more than once that day. Which would be easier to get 4th FP for later? The trip is early March so cold weather may be a factor...

Sorry for so many questions at one time!

Here’s a link to a reply I gave to a similar question a few days ago. Doesn’t address all of your questions, but covers some. Happy to elaborate if needed!

EMM 9-10am touring strategy

We went straight to BTMM as soon as we were allowed, and then straight back for breakfast. Splash would have been pushing it because it's such a long ride and the walk isn't the shortest. I think it worked out well the way it was, but, in a party without small children, you could probably do another attraction or two (other than 7DMT and PP).

Thanks for the replies! Sounds like BTMRR + Splash might be pushing it. I like the idea of BTMRR then HM since it's on the way back. Hmmmm....

This is what we settled on. Perhaps BTMR x2, then HM on the way back if there by 9:40. If we make it a few minutes late to Pinnochio Haus, I'll just tell them HM broke down, which is true 50% of the time

The good thing is I have found them pretty generous with not clearing the food line immediately at 10. It’s more of a gradual ending to service than an abrupt “clear eveything now” type of setup.

Not saying you should show up at 10:15 expecting food, but I’d be comfortable close to / a little before 10.
