Mickey's Philharmagic Question

[WeLoveThePoly]

We have an 8:05 PS at CRT on a non-EMH day (it's a Saturday) and we thought since we'd be right at the entrance to Fantasyland when the park opens at 9am (I assume it'll open then, hours for October aren't posted yet) we'd catch a few attractions before the crowds hit and we leave for another park.

My question(s) - When is the first showing of Mickey's Philharmagic? Are there set times? Do they show one right at 9am? Or do they wait for the theater to fill up?

Thanks!
Debbie

The shows run one right after the other. No set times. I would guess that they would allow a little time for several guests to arrive...not much time. I think I would hit some of the other rides in Fantasyland that usually have longer lines before going in the show. We were there in June, a much busier time than October, and never waited in long lines for the show.

After having breakfast I would ride a few of the rides in Fantasyland. Then I'd get a fastpass for a favorite ride before going to Philharmagic.

I believe Phillarmagic runs about every 20 to 30 minutes. The theatre can hold a lot lof people so I would get a Fastpass for it and do the others rides in Fantasy land that take a lot of time.

We were able (in Feb) to do Peter Pan's Flight, Winnie the Pooh, and Phillarmagic in the first 40 minutes of our day.

If you are there first thing, I would suggest Dumbo first since this ride has no Fastpass. We always do Dumbo, Pooh and Peter Pan 1st thing in the am, especially on a Saturday.

Thanks all! I'm going to use your suggestions. I wasn't sure if I could get a FP for PhilHarmagic right at 9am but it sounds like I can.

We hadn't planned on going to MK on a Saturday (I heard it gets super busy) but I love the idea of being able to walk up an empty Main Street before breakfast and then getting to Fantasyland ahead of the crowds.

We'll probably stay at MK for an hour or so and head out. (We'll be doing EMH at MK the next day.)

Thanks again!
