Is Epcot EEH worth it? what is your strategy?

Is EEH worth it for Epcot? We went last Jan. and the line for Remy was 1.5 hours at 8:49. I've heard Epcot also will be more crowded during the day on EEH--do others find this so? And, WS is closed, right? What is your strategy for getting the most out of EEH? We'll be a Chefs until 8pm. We're fine to skip viewing fireworks.

Guardians is no longer VQ. There are not currently any VQ attractions at WDW.

Guardians is standby or LLSP.

Not really sure how to measure ‘worth it’ when something is free. Many go and enjoy themselves.

Yes, WS is closed during EEH from China to Morocco.

Thanks. How is the standby line for GG during EEH? What is best strategy for EEH? If we skip EEH, we might just get in line at 8:30pm for Remy on a non-EEH day if the lines were too long during the day.

I personally think EEH at Epcot is not nearly as valuable as MK, and that is because the distance between the open attractions is so far that you spend a big proportion of the available time just walking. And since there are fewer attractions, the lines tend to stay longer, at least in our couple of times trying it. We really can't get excited about walking a few more miles at the end of the day.

I was there for the March 10th EEH. Guardians was about 25 minutes around 8:30pm (actual time, posted was 85 or something inflated as they do at the end of the night). My intention was always to use EEH to ride Guardians as many times as possible. Unfortunately this was everyone else's idea as well. For my 2nd ride, I was on at 9:45pm (so about 35 min to pre-show, give or take), and then my 3rd and last ride was at 11:30pm. There was a small bathroom break in the Connections Cafe in between. I definitely could have gotten in line one last time but I was tired and the queue was outside the building and appeared to be 35 to 45 minutes still. I had a long day and at that point, I was ready to call it a night. No clue as to other wait times in EPCOT that night as I only had eyes for Guardians.... my favorite

Was there a couple of weeks ago. We only wanted 2 rides, Remy and GotG. Started with Luminous but due to high winds, it ran without fireworks so we went to Remy. 55 min posted time. Actual wait was 25. Off to Guardians after that. 50 min posted time, actual was 25 mins to first preshow. After that, we got back in line with a 40 min posted time but after getting on the ride, there was a 25 min delay, then the ride shut down and we were given a multi-experience LL for the following day.

We went last week. We got into the GotG line while fireworks were still happening and it took an hour total (wait till end of ride). Then we went to Remy's and left. I think it's worth it but definitely difficult to get a lot in, or get lots and lots of GotG rides in, at least during spring break when we were there.
