Those who have gone to Early Morning Magic we need help with a plan?

[maryj11]

Whats the best plan for doing EMM to make the most of it?
So far we have planned to do the rides first of course but what time should we eat?
Should we move on to another land at rope drop?
What time should we start FP's?
Any help on a good plan will be appreciated or what worked well for you ?
We also wanted to know will we get memory maker videos on the Mine Train during EMM?

We did the EMM as such:
1. Stopped for a quick picture in front of the castle with a PP photographer and nobody else in the pic!
2. Went to 7DMT and rode it 5 times in a row, with little to no wait (I think the longest wait was 60 seconds for a train to arrive)
3. Went to Pooh and rode it 2 times.
4. Went to PP and rode it 2 times (would have been 3, but children needed to use the facilities).
5. Ate breakfast around 8:35am.
6. Headed over to BTMRR and Splash to get there a few minutes after 9am and rode both with no wait (our favorite rides and this was our first day at MK, so that's why we trekked all the way over to Frontierland).
We setup our FPs for 10,11,12 and were able to grab 6 more after that, so it worked out pretty well. We could have done more, but we decided to stake out a good spot for the castle projection show, as we had never seen that before, plus the early start made for an almost 16 hour day, so it was good to sit for a bit at the end of the day. Finally, we got memory maker videos and pictures from all 5 of our Mine Train rides, so you should be good on that front.

Thanks for asking this question! I'm hoping to snag an EMM myself and wondered about strategies! They still haven't posted if there will be any in December yet, fingers crossed!
imho the EMM far outweighs BOG ppo breakfast strategy!

Sounds like a good plan ! I'm glad we will get the memory maker videos

We agree! We actually dropped our BOG PPO breakfast on a Sunday in August when they added EMM on Sundays- breakfast looks good and the value of getting so many rides on those 3 rides is fantastic to my family.

We were not as organized with our EMM, but it was great fun! We started with Peter Pan because one of my daughters was afraid of 7 Dwarfs, so she needed some time to build up her courage. After Peter Pan, we rode 7 Dwarfs four times in a row. We then went to Winnie the Pooh, and had breakfast. After breakfast, we rode the carousel and Peter Pan again, then the crowd arrived.

Was the carousel open early too? I'd love to have them open up a couple more rides like the carousel and tea cups.

Yes, the carousel was open. We were there last Saturday, June 11.

Sounds like an awesome day
