New Magic Kingdom Welcome Show & Main Street Opening UPDATE: Page 15 - Post #281


I think I speak for many of us when I say it's so great to have a roving reporter on the street, @yulilin3! Thanks so much - it's great fun reading along and I can't wait to hear about the doughnut sundae!


Ditto - @yulilin3 - thanks for all the updates - my 180 day mark is fast approaching and this helps with deciding/planning of PPO bkfsts. I've been following along from the start of the thread (as well as the Star Wars thread :chewy: ) and you are a wealth of knowledge!!! :thanks:
 
For people heading to 7dmt. You would think that heading through the castle is faster, don't. Go to the bridge on your right, even if it's packed, it'll lead you faster to the end of the line. I watched the welcome show and headed with what seemed 80% of the people to 7dmt and the back of the line was by the tea party.
If you go through the cattle you still need to walk all the way to the end
Wait time said 30 minutes.
I went straight to Cinderella and elena and was second party to meet them, in line now for Peter Pan

Hey so we are going next month just for one day with my one year old. If I went straight to Peter pan you think there probably wouldn't be much of a wait?
 
@yulilin3 So if I plan to hit PP on an EMH morning, I will have to line up on the right with the 7DMT crowd going into Fantasyland, according to what you were told? Ugh....not sure I like that. Wondering if hanging back a bit might be okay since we will not be headed to 7D. Hmmm....

Thanks so much for gathering all that info!

Thinking out loud here: wondering if arriving by 7:30 will be early enough to get ahead of non-resort guests to get through the tapstyles and when they will allow the EMH guests through the tapstyles.

I haven't been there since the changes, but I can't imagine you'd have to follow the line of 7DMT ppl. You should be able to either go through the castle or to the left of it (by Sleepy Hallow), or go to the right of the castle (should be where all the 7DMT ppl. are first lining up, but take an immediate left (that way you won't have to be in the huge crowd of 7DMT ppl. for more than maybe 5 seconds) and go around the castle that way.

Where was Cinderella? and the other princes? I only saw Aladdin-- or did I miss something?
Only character CMs who have roles in MK will be part of the Welcome Show. Aladdin probably has a different role in MRFF or Aladdin meets in Adventureland. Not sure about Cinderella.
Would you be able to cut through Liberty Square to get to Pan?
As soon as the park opens and all ropes are dropped, you can cut through Liberty Square.

The guests on the opposite side of the Hub are heading to 7D.

The manager that @yulilin3 sopke with today said that for EMH there will only be CMs allowing EMH people through at the ropes on the right (to Tomorrowland and and Fantasyland) so it seems for EMH guests will not be allowed any other way.

But not for EMH...at least that's what I gather from yulady's CM manager convo today.

Oh, interesting...well then I'd go with going to the right of the castle and making the immediate left to hopefully cut through.

I wasn't sure what the PP was referring to so included "when the park opens/ropes drop."

DL uses the same "to the right" entrance for Magic Morning guests to make their way to Space Mtn. and Fantasyland. They've been doing it for years and those with the perk just filter through.
 
I was talking regular rope drop, not EMH.

Typically I will cut through liberty Square to get to Pan first thing.
