We did use EE last Sept. and MK was like it was open only for us! We did everything that was open in that hour. Later in the day when we walked by Peter Pan and Pooh we were very glad we did it! AK EE was also nice because the animals were out and about. The Lion was pacing and the rhino and giraffe were an arms length away! The kids loved it and I can't imagine walking all that way to the safari in the heat of later in the day.
