Hit Talking Mickey First - 7 am EMH?

[JJ2017]

So for our 7 am EMH rope drop, we want to hit:

Talking Mickey
Winnie the Pooh
Meet Ariel
Little Mermaid
Small World
Right at 8 we want to hit HM, JC, Pirates
First FP is 8:45 - 9:45 7D (would like to get there at the end of that window).

Question - do you think hitting Talking Mickey right when we get in is a good idea or would it take up valuable time? We just want to be sure we have enough time to get the rides in at Fantasyland to line us up well for the 8:00 am time slot.

Thanks!

It would take up valuable time.

Well, Justin Bieber hit Goofy hard enough to cause injury. Haven't heard of anyone punching the Big Cheese though.

IIRC, Talking Mickey wasn't available right at 7am a couple of years ago when we were there for Christmas, so I agree with others that rides are the top priority.

That does happen. From being tackled to attempts to yank off his head, poor Mickey has experienced it all. That’s why the title can be alarming.

Most posters think when Talking Mickey isn’t up to talking it’s due to a tech malfunction. It’s often due to performers being injured - a combination of guest behavior and the weight of Talking Mickey’s Head - and not being able to continue the meets.

Yes. I'm sure it happens even to Mickey. I do have intimate knowledge of the "Bieber Incident" so I know for a fact that Entertainment CMs do indeed suffer injury on occasion, from attacking guests.
