MK rope drop on EMH day for offsite guest

[lolomarie]

This trip we are planning on staying offsite, and for the most part we are avoiding the EMH parks. However, on my DS bday we want to head to MK and it has EMH. What will our rope drop experience be like? Very busy by the time we get to fantasy land? We have 7dmt FPs so we will be heading straight to PP and ideally would do as much as many rides as possible before our 11am FP for Splash. What time would you recommend getting to the gates for a 9 am rope drop for offsite guests? Thanks!

1. Arriving for regular hours on MK AM EMH mornings can be problematic for off-site guests.
2. Yes.
3. I'd get a FP for something other than Splash or BTM, and just ride those two standby as soon as they drop the ropes.
You can likely do at least one of them (if not both) twice that morning.
(Peter Pan will likely be overwhelmed.)
4. Parking lot at 8:15AM. Monorail to MK about 8:30AM.

Thanks so much. Great info here. Looks like we'll change our strategy.
