Is it crazy to hit the EMH each day?

[FatElvis]

I'm planning our daily schedules and was sort of following the EMH each day. We'll be arriving mid-morning Sunday March 5 and leaving the evening of Thursday the 9th.

Looking at all the EMH, we can do pretty much all of them, with time to go back to the room for naps here & there to make up for early mornings or late nights. My daughter is nearly 5 and operates very well on not much sleep (although I know we will definitely need some down time).

Anyway, I guess my question is, does that schedule make sense, or is that what the amateurs do?

My DW and I found that this worked very well for us. The parks don't get to full capacity until about ten or eleven. We use this same strategy to get as much done as possible. Try to go to the Evening EMH, especially at MK. This might be hard on the little one though.

The WORST that can happen is that park is too crowded (you could "hop" or just rest)...

The BEST that could happen is that you could expand your riding time and get to do your favorites over and over (I've had it happen both ways.)


We LOVE morning EMH's regardless.
Most people just WON'T get up that early on vacation... which is FINE... MORE fun for ME!

We can get more "done" in the first 2-3 hours after the gates first open at ANY park (EMH or not) than at any time the rest of the day.

i'm not sure how busy it is when you are going, we go off season and go to emh ams at each park at least once. even with uncrowded conditions it gets a good jump on the stuff we want to do before the rest opens., we can do most of the "must dos" in emh at mk , see lots of animals on the early safari( and probably head to ee if it's open when you go) at ak and go to spaceship earth( usually we can walk right on),test track and ms ( and now soarin) at epcot. at mgm the only things we really like are rnr and tot so we can go to emh am at mgm do those a few times and then go to epcot for the rest of the day.

emh pm are new since our last trip but i don't know if i'd go as much since unless it was really empty and every thing was open i would be too tired to get up the next day and would rather relax in the evening...an exception would be mk since i love it after dark and it usually closes around 7 when we are there. The parks are reallly different looking after dark so it would be worth it just to see that and maybe hit afew favorites then leave.

We hit the AM EMH for 3 out of the 4 parks and were glad we did. The only park we didn't think we got as much out of was MK. Epcot and AK we were able to get a lot more done in the same ammount of time. If you do plan to rest and your DD can work on little sleep (like we can) then I would do EMH every day.

We went to evening EMH at Epcot, and it being our first time, were not aware that not all of the park was open. So I felt we wasted our time there. However, at MK we done an evening EMH and really enjoyed it. We got to do everything we wanted to and then some. I think it depends on the crowds. We also slept in alot and stayed in the parks longer in the evenings, my little boy (4 at the time) is a night owl (if I let him be).
