MGM EMH Strategy?

[mskay]

We are planning to do to MGM on a Tuesday EMH morning. All we want to do there is Rock and Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror, Muppets, and Mermaid. I know that the first three are early entry rides/shows. What should our plan of attack be there? TIA

You notice that most of the rope drop crowd will be headed towards ToT and RnR. I usually get FPs for RnR since DW and DD don't ride it and then meet up with them over at ToT. After we all ride ToT a couple times, they head off for breakfast at Starring Rolls and I go ride RnR a few times. So far, the plan's worked great.

After you do RnR, get your FP for Mermaid and then depending on time, head over to Muppets.

When we were at MGM for EMH last week, RnR had huge lines almost immediately at opening whereas ToT was not as bad (relatively speaking). I'd get a FP for RnR, ride ToT, then ride RnR. That way you have finished all you want to do in that corner of the park. Like the previous poster suggested, you can then get a FP for Mermaid, do the Muppet show and double back for the Mermaid show. Mermaid also had huge lines the entire time we were there so I would FP that one for sure. After that you can hang out, take in some character greetings (there were lots of characters out around the square under the Sorcerer's hat), etc without stressing out.

Have a terrific time!

Chance are, after riding ToT, you may still have plenty of tim eon your RnRC Fast Pass, so you could walk up the street to see the first Mermaid show. Early in the morning there is often little wait. This requires more backtracking, but if you only want to do those 4 things, then getting a Mermaid FP after you ride RnRC may require you to hang around for an hour or so waiting for your FP time.

I have those things first for us in July, I plan on doing
TOT
RNR
Muppets
by then it's 9:00 and you can catch the first showing of Little Mermaid

We have done TOT and RNR in a row right at the beginning and have never had to use a FP, BUT we are also one of the first in line at the ropedrop for EMH and head quickly to them.

I'm not sure, but I think if you do TOT and RNR right away, you'll have time to do Muppets before 9:00. At least I hope so, because that's what I plan on doing!!!
