Everest and EMH

[ckb_nc]

SO is Everest part of AK EMH now?

 

[willful]

YES! And as far as I know it's always been part of the EMHs - at least since May. Anyways, this is the BEST time to ride EE. Especially for the AM EMHs. We're in the World now and went to Monday to AK as part of the AM EMH. We were able to ride it 4 times total (4th time was with FP) in a little over an hour. The waits were about 30 minutes 'til about 9:30 - about the time we left for the safari (which had a standby time of 50 minutes! - but they were training bus drivers that morning)

Hi Willful

How has the parks been so far? Are they wall to wall people with huge wait times or has it slimmed down some? We'll be there starting Saturday and just want to be prepared.

The parks have been fine. We were at Disney-MGM most of yesterday (during the day) and the crowds were light. We didn't ride any of the rides though, because we handle those during the evening EMH (ToT 3x and RnRC 3x - can't do that during the day! ). But the character lines were light and you weren't bumping into a lot of people walking around the parks much. The only real bad day at any of the parks was Sunday night MK EMH. Not sure why. The wait times that night were so long at all the rides. AK EMH last night was nice. Except for the pouring rain we had, but DW and I came prepared with our ponchos! We rode EE twice in about an hour...DINOSAUR had NO wait! And the crowds overall were light - the rain might've helped. But I really think the bulk of the people went home Monday b/c the crowds have been lighter since Sunday night.

I think you'll be fine Saturday, especially if you'll be here during the weekdays. Also depends on what you want to do. We went to TL on Tuesday and it seemed very very light. The wave pool was always busy as it's right as you walk in. And if you're staying on property, I'd recommed the evening EMH for the rides. At least that's what DW and I always do and we get to ride multiple times. That saves the days for character pictures, shows, etc - while the other people wait in longer lines in the heat. But not to say you can't ride the rides during the day, because it truly seems like the parks are getting lighter. We just love getting character pictures - which is usually during the day.

Let me know if you have any further questions before you're trip that I can answer...and ENJOY YOUR TRIP!!!

I also plan on hitting EMH (am) for EE at AK. That is the whole reason we are going to AK that day.

Go to EMH, get a FP before you ride it twice in a row then do something else and ride later. We did this last MON. and it worked great. We ended up riding it 5 times before 1 and then left the park

Well,i will have to see what time it is.. We really want to leave AK by 10 or so, as we just are going to do EE.. Then heading over for the rest of the day at Epcot.
