1. I would stay to the right as much as possible to get to Dinoland, then turn left to go across bridge to EE.

2. Guest Relations is just inside the entrance to the left. If you have a free photo coupon, they will give you a certificate that you can "pay" for your photo at the EE photo store.

How do you get a free photo coupon????

Bigcrit Free photo was from the Yeti game.

What we did was got there before opening EMH there is a GR on the left before you go in .So go to that and get your voucher.Then turn around and go into the Rainforest Cafe ,walk to the back and enter the park there. Walk through the beginning and go through Asia ( i think it's faster then through Dinoland trail).

That's what a lot of people think, but that info is incorrect if you want to get to Everest's ENTRANCE more directly.

1) In the mornings, after the "rope drop" most days guests are LED to EE by CM's (no running) and they go via Asia.

2) The route to EE entrance is actually closer via ASIA. (Dinoland is closer to the MOUNTAIN, but the ENTRANCE is closer to Asia.)

3) If there are more guests heading in via Asia, and YOU decide to go via Dinoland, you will be disappointed, as you will then have to walk PAST the ever-growing line of guests facing you who are rapidly filling the length of the line from the Asia side.

4) The only reason to go to EE via Dinoland route is if you have just eaten at Donald's Breakfastosaurus and are already IN Dinoland.

One other thing you can always get you voucher later in the day.

Just remember to get your photo number from the CM at the monitors.They save for 3 days so you can choose if you ride it more then once.

I recomend trying to get one of the front set in the cars as thats where the picture breaks are if it's only 2 in you party.

Agree with Robo re: how best to get there. If you're there at rope drop you don't need to freak out about where you are in the crowd; the ride can absorb quite a few people and you'll be on in no time. In fact, at Easter-time we found that we moved so quickly through the queue that we couldn't absorb all the wonderful theming (which I'll take over being able to memorize it).

If you're willing to wait a bit longer you can get first row of the front car. And they had the good sense to put the "engine" (remember, this is supposed to be a train) at the back, instead of at the front like at Thunder Mountain.

With early morning hours, we got there not at the rope dropping and it took us 5 minutes or less to get on Everest, and that was in Mid June. Later in the day, you can try for a fast pass but they run out pretty quick on that ride. And BTW, Asia is faster to the entrance of Everest.

When I went, was at the entrance at ropedrop, went from Dinoland and beat about 500 people coming from Asia...they were being held up by CM's

You were just "lucky" as there are often CM's holding guests at the bridge (near Nemo Theater) from Dinoland. (You can't see them until you get there.)

But that's fine... if you "feel lucky," head that way.

Worst that can happen is that you will be behind 500 guests.

I think the best advice is that if you are early there is no real problem. Yes, lots of people want to get to ee, but lots don"t. We got there at 9:10 after eah and still waited for less than twenty minutes. The line is super fast.
and make sure to truly enjoy the line and the ride.
