should I plan parks around emh?

[newbieplanner]

I'm deciding which parks we should visit each day. I really want to make my ADRs but I'm so indecisive about where to go, when...The EMH sounds great, but are those parks busier for the rest of the day because of it? Do you all take advantage of the EMH (the late one sounds the best, since we aren't really morning people and it will take effort to get to a park at the reg. opening time.) I've been checking out some DISers itineries, and have been noticing some just ignore the EMH, and I was wondering if I'm just overanalysing things. (I've become the but of my family's jokes...obsessed with Disboards and everything Disney)

Any guidance would be great!

It's a good idea unless it's in the busiest time. I actually avoided every EMH day during my Thanksgiving trip.

We also are not morning people. We loved going to the evening hours. We did not notice that the evenings were any busier than the rest of the day. Usually a lighter crowd. I'm sure though it will all depend on the time of year you are visiting.

IMHO avoid parks with evening EMH. The only exception might be AK. Last May when we were there, wait times during EMH at MK were 3 times as long as they were during the day, and more people were still streaming into the park one hour after EMH started. However, we found the the crowd at evening EMH at AK to be very light. Like an earlier post, it might depend on what time of year you go.
