Need Advice from June Travel Experts

[nuke]

This is my first time going at a time of year when there might be crowds. We are doing the Wonder June 5-9th and then a couple of days at the Beach Club. I have 1 day left for each of us on old hoppers so I wanted to do 1/2 day at MK and 1/2 at Epcot. I mostly want to do Soarin' and Illuminations at Epcot.

So my questions are......How crowded will the 10th of June be at MK? It's a Friday. We want to do Space Mountain, Buzz, Big Thunder if possible and maybe something else. Should we go to Space Mountain first thing and get FP for Buzz or the other way around?

Is it possible to do these things before say 3pm so then we can head to Epcot?

I really am clueless to how long the lines are going to be. We usually go in December, May or September.

Fridays are MK Extra Magic Hour in the morning, as long as you arrive early for that (park opening) you would be able to get the attractions you listed done well before 3:00. When we arrive at park opening, we get a fastpass for Space Mountain, go on it right away, then do Buzz, head over to Big Thunder and Splash, and go back to Space Mtn with our fastpass.
Buzz and Big Thunder handle the lines better IMO, than Space Mtn, that's why we always get the fastpass for Space.

Hi!

We always go in June and are planning to go this year June 1st-12th. I agree with what the previous poster said about doing EMH at the MK. Last time we were there, we found the worst crowds we'd ever encountered one day at the MK. We went back two days later and had no problems (it almost seemed as if we had the park to ourselves).

We never did figure out what caused the crowds to be so large that one day. It was not an early entry day.

My advice would be to plan for crowded conditions. Use the EMH! We plan to use it on our upcoming trip. Hopefully, you won't have to deal with anywhere near the crowd we did!

Hope you have a great trip!!!

We were there last June 4-13, and found the crowds manageable, but we also tried to stick to the less popular rides as needed. I found that the lines weren't awful for Buzz--maybe not the right age group when we were there. I would definitely do EMH--we did 2 E-nights, and basically got to ride everything we wanted, which freed up our days for the other parks.

I had dreaded going in June, since we've only gone off-season, but it really wasn't bad. We did get alot of rain during our trip, but still had a great time.
