MK Morning EMH - What can you accomplish?

[poodledogs55]

Hi All,

In your experience, I was wondering if it's possible to get Splash, BTMR, and POTC done during morning EMH at MK (a Friday in mid-April)? The goal would be to be done by about 9:30, so I can take the monorail and arrive at Epcot by about 11, preferably earlier.

I ask because I have a FP+ for Peter Pan, 7DMT, and Splash the next day, but am considering switching Splash for Jungle Cruise if I can get those other 3 rides done the day before. Any suggestions? I'm totally fine with rope dropping/getting at the parks as early as necessary. Thanks!!

Unfortunately, only Fantasyland and Tomorrowland are open for AM EMH.

Thanks! That answers my question! I will keep my Splash Mtn FP and shoot for rope dropping Space Mtn on EMH day and Jungle Cruise/POTC/BTMR on the non-EMH day or take my chances with same day FP

Ignoring the EMH question (to which you already have an answer,)
you should be able to ALL of the attractions you list (and many more) on a single day at MK in mid-April.
And, there will be many "same-day FPs" available for many attractions.

So, combined with another day at MK during your trip, you should be able to fully cover the most-wanted attractions, with repeats on some favorites.

No, but you can hit BTMR at the "second" rope drop and knock out BT/Splash by 9:30. If you hustle, you might could theoretically do them all by 9:40, but that would be with everything going perfectly. It usually takes us an hour to do BT, Splash, Pirates, and JC at rope drop and we move with purpose.

Thank you! That is my touring style also (so efficient!!) and even though I'll be traveling with my dad, I don't anticipate him wanting to get up for EMH, so I'll be alone in the morning and plan to meet him at Epcot. Our first FP there is for Soarin from 10:20-11:20, so I think I'll have plenty of time to get to it.

Totally agree. We did this during Christmas break, and it worked like a charm. My only suggestion is to check ride wait times via MDX and see how crowds are moving in that side of the park.

If we didn't have a FP+ for Thunder and Splash, we'd do those and then do JC. It was Christmas and "Jingle Cruise" we the only Christmas themed attraction, so maybe that explained bigger than usual crowds. So we would do JC before PotC.

Yeah, JC or Pirates first is a toss-up. Those 4 rides with HM as a flex 5th before our first FP by far my favorite RD plan in all 4 parks. With a Pan, Space, and 7DMT FP, that lets you hit the 8 biggest/most iconic rides in 3 hours with practically no wait. Everything left either will have minimal waits or should be pretty easy to pick up a FP for. With the exception of the meet and greets/Enchanted Tales w Belle.

I do love a Space RD. But there is no way you are getting on Pan or 7DMT with a short wait after, and you're so far from Adventureland and Frontierland.
