MK EMH or not???

[mastodon]

So we are here having a great time. The kids are exhausted and wanted some advice. We went to MK the other night and did a whole bunch of rides (excluding all the mountains which had no FP left). We have fast passes for all 3 tomorrow morning. MK opens at 7 for EMH. If we don't arrive until closer to 7:30- will we be able to walk in before regular crowd? Wil lines already be crazy for 7dnt/ Peter Pan? I guess will we be putting ourselves at big disadvantage? It means wake up of 5:30 to get to park by 6:30 for early open...

If we don't arrive until closer to 7:30-

1. will we be able to walk in before regular crowd?
2. Wil lines already be crazy for 7dnt/ Peter Pan?
3. I guess will we be putting ourselves at big disadvantage? It means wake up of 5:30 to get to park by 6:30 for early open...

1. Sorta.
2. Yes.
3. The difference in sleeping late enough to get to MK at 7:30AM and getting to MK at 6:30-6:45AM is about 45 minutes.
So, ask your self if getting up at 6:15 going to give you a significantly more relaxing night than getting up at 5:30?

If you arrive at 7:30, I would expect the lines for PP and 7DMT to be significant, but maybe short of "crazy". My best guess would be a posted wait time of about 20-25 minutes for PP and about 45 minutes for 7DMT. In that first hour, those posted wait times MIGHT (but might not) be a little overstated. You will still be allowed in before non resort guests, but a lot of the people who are there right at opening will be heading directly for 7DMT and Anna and Elsa and, to a little lesser extent, PP.

My advice: if you are planning to be there at 7:30 it would be worth your while to get up a little earlier and try to be there around 6:45. In addition to the shortest lines of the day (until very late at night) for 7DMT and PP, you should have a couple of hours to enjoy a number of other things with very short waits.

ETA: I just checked the wait times at 7:30 AM today (Tuesday). 7DMT has a posted wait time of 45 minutes and, according to the Touring Plans app, an expected wait of 27 minutes. PP is reported closed.

If it's AM emh, I would honestly do it, especially if you want to ride Mine train and haven't yet. Go straight there, then head to some other Fantasyland that you haven't done before heading to space. If you need to take a break & nap in the middle of the day, either head back to your hotel or even power nap in Carousel of Progress or Hall of Presidents lol
