Epcot pm EMH over spring break still a 30+ minute line for Soarin, TT, etc. Are pm EMH in July better?

Not necessarily. We tend to avoid EMH in general but have had great luck with AM EMH hours. In my experience, a good number of people aren't willing to get up before or at sunrise while on vacation whereas a good number are willing to stay out late. The only time we've experienced truly low waits during PM EMH was during 1:00 - 2:00 am [and we were so exhausted the next day that we've never repeated that, haha!].

When in July? 4th of July week, no chance - after that, I'd still probably say 30 or more min. The problem in Epcot is there's just not a lot to ride (that's a headliner, anyway).

july 11. if pm EMH aren't worth it, then I might readjust my touring plan. We cannot get up for AM EMH. That's not a vacation, IMHO.

Still peak summer time - I would say no. We love morning EMH and haven't done a PM one in a while, though.

We like Evening Magic Hours in the summer because it's cooler after dark- and because we are night owls! No way we do morning magic hours. Set up whatever FP+ you can during park hours, but you're going to have to wait in line for something, at some point during the day. It's just the way it is at Epcot- not enough headliners, can't use FP+ for what little there is because of tiering.

This is our plan for the same day. I think Epcot handles crowds much better than Magic Kingdom during evening EMH.

Besides I think Epcot is a park made for nighttime touring. I do hope the park hours are extended. I don't think 11pm is late enough for EMH.

I agree, however it hasn't happened for my trip on 4th of July night so I wouldn't hold my breath for it to happen later in July. I'm disappointed.

Ugh. Me too. That's unfortunate. I remember when July always had 1am and 2am EMH.
