We've never done evening EMH. Considering it for tonight at MK. Thinking of maybe showing up just as Wishes is starting. What is the crowd factor like once Wishes clears out on an evening EMH?
 
I think that most lines should be walk on or very little ( 10minute) wait with a few ( 7DMT ) being 20 to 30 minute this is just my guess and of course the latter it is the less people will be there, I would go.
 
we went in august last year when it was open until 2am. It was great most rides were walk on, the later it gets the less crowded it will be.
 
It's very hit or miss. I'd expect tonight to be fairly well populated. (The 10-to-30 minute wait scenario listed above is overly optimistic, IMO. That's what it was last night and EMH will be more populated.)

Since EMH is only two hours, and is done at 1, it just doesn't have the time to empty like it did when they ran midnight to 3A, where the last hour would be a ghost town. Going from 3h to 2h sucked s lot of the magic out of EMH, IMO.
 

The last time we went to MK PM EMH was October 2014. We mostly stuck to Tomorrowland. Around 11pm-midnight, Tomorrowland was very crowded, Space Mountain kept a long wait, even the People Mover was backed up. We did a lot of bench-sitting and people-watching. Things lightened up after midnight and we rode Space with a short wait. We ventured over to the Mine Train and had a 30 minute wait there (fun to ride in the dark!). Around 1:15AM we returned to Space Mountain which was literally a walk-on and we rode over and over again til 2AM and it was one of the best memories of our trip!
 
Put me in the "won't be crowded" column.

Anytime (non-holidays) EMH starts at or after 11PM, the crowds will thin.
Add in a 10PM Wishes, and the park should empty all the more.

Have fun!

OTHO... I fully agree with the lament that they dropped the last hour of the traditional 3-hour PM EMH. That third hour was generally the best time of all.
 
Just to hedge my bets ;) fairly well populated does not equal crazy crowded - but I don't think it will be ghost town quiet either.
 
Always have loved night EMHs! Lines were great with exception to Peter Pan and now 7DMT too.
Not seeing those late hours for our trip iin June like we used to see.
Anyone think they will adjust hours for June? Loved being at MK until 2AM!
 
Gotta mea culpa this one! It's the quietest (in terms of lines) EMH I've attended in quite some time. Still plenty of folks out and about though!

Thanks for the first-hand report!
 
Sorry for the late EMH report (from Wed). PPF and 7DMT were as low as 20 and as high as 45. Big Thunder was 25 for most of the night but dropped down to 10 towards the end. Space Mountain was only 10 min around 12p. We finished off the night on 7DM with a 20 min wait at around 12:50a. It being our first time at EMH we did a fair amount of walking around looking for low wait times. All in all we had a great experience with and would do it again.
 
We did EMH this past Wednesday evening. Everything we wanted to ride was only about 10 minutes at the most!
