How are the lines on low crowd level days at Animal Kingdom?

I've been working on plans for our trip the week of Labor Day, which (excluding Labor Day Weekend) consists of mostly 1 to 3 crowd level days. I'm planning on only doing a morning/early afternoon at AK without using FP+ and saving them for a 2nd park that evening.

What I can't decide is whether to go to AK on an AM EMH day when it opens at 8 instead of 9, or to avoid the park that day and go on a less-crowded day that doesn't have EMH (as Josh at EasyWDW and other sites recommend). In general, I tend to follow the avoid-parks-with-EMH philosophy to take advantage of shorter lines at non-EMH parks.

The main difficulty with AK is trying to fit all the rides we want to do around the three main shows that all have set times, and still finishing by 2:30-3. Going when the park opens at 8 helps alleviate that problem, but I hope that's not at the expense of having to wait much longer in lines the rest of the day (without being able to use FP+).

Thoughts?
 
There are a few crowd forecasters out there. One is undercovertourist. I can't say how acturate it is but give it a look.




Sorry. I need more coffee this morning. They won't let me delete this or I would.
 
I think it's very doable. What are you planning to do in AK?

If I had half a day with EMH, I would run for Kilimanjaro, then Everest (did this in a Lv5 day in AK with great success, rode Everest 5 times before the wait time was more than 10min), then plan everything else in between show times, if these are your priorities. Try to get Kali and DINOSAUR earlier than everything else, too. But in a low crowd day is very reasonable, imho!
