Is it worth scheduling around EMH nights?

I planned which days I would go to which parks, on my Feb. 26 through March 4, vacation.

I based my initial schedule on historic data.

Having small children I am not interested in Extra Magic Hours. I usually try to go to parks that are Not having EMH's, because I think that they may make the parks more crowded than a non EMH day.

Also, for the first time I did not schedule our first full day (which is usually Monday) at the Magic Kingdom.

Now that the park hours and Extra Magic Hours are out, I am rethinking my selections.

I had planned on going to MGM Studios on Monday, 2/27/06, but now MGM has EMH on that day.
I had planned on going to Animal Kingdom on Wednesday, 03/01/06, but now AK has EMH on that day.
I had planned on going to Epcot for Illuminations on Friday, 03/03/06, but now Future World has EMH on that day.

? Since I don't take advantage of EMH's, do you think it is worth changing my schedule to avoid the above parks having EMH's, in hopes of attending parks when they are a little less crowded?

I look forward to the advice from all those supper planners out there.
 
When we went I knew that my crew would not do EMH's. We were not very late getting to the parks, but not there for line drop either. We stayed away from EMH parks. I planned things so that we were at the parks the day after evening EMH if that was possible. Everything was a walk-on, or at most a 5 minute wait until about 2:00 in the afternoon. The only things we had to wait in line for were character autographs. While in line to see Ariel we were talking to the family behind us and they said that DS was crowded the day before. DS had morning EMH that day. After that, Teapot Party and Dumbo were wait for the ride to stop and walk on. This plan really worked for us.
 
same thing happened to me when I was planning. We have a 2 yr old so I didnt want to go to any of the EMH parks but I needed to make my reservations so I took a chance. When the hours came out-every single park had EMH that I chose. But when I called to switch my res. the restaurants were all booked up. I ended up leaving it the way it was. MK was the only day that it was really crowded, otherwise it was fine. We had done 80% of MK on MNSSHP. The 20% that we needed to do took all day long but we didnt stay for EMH.

I would try and switch MK day to a less crowded one but the others should be fine regardless.
