Touring Plans Question for someone that hasn't been in 30 years...

[js]

I would not suggest saving the FL rides for the hour before the tour. They will feel rushed and I think t would be tough to fit them in and be back at the meeting point by 9:45. I don’t think the EMM will affect them that much. It is a limited number of people attending, and they will have had plenty of time to ride Peter Pan already. We went to MK last year on an EMM day and did not feel that t affected us at all (caveat—we had a FP for Peter Pan, so I can’t apeak to that).

I think your original plan sounds good, except that if they go to HM after Small World, it is a long trek back to Future World. Do they really want to do Haunted Mansion twice? If so, perhaps a fourth fast pass is an option? (My kids won’t ride it, so we never check for it.). If that’s not a must-do twice, I would suggest finding something else in Fantasyland or Future Eorld to fill that spot. (Maybe Under the Sea? It has its detractors, but I love it.)

Thank you. No, they don't need Haunted twice I just thought I could add it before the FP but I took it out.
I'll look for something else to fill the spot or just take it out and have them not be too rushed.

In my opinion the pay EMM is one of the biggest ripoffs. It's way overpriced for what you get

Thank you. For my family with kids 24 and 19 I wouldn't spend it. Even when they were younger, my touring plan was very good and really didn't need it but
for someone that hasn't been in 30 years and not planning on going back again until they have grandchildren, another $200 really wasn't going to matter and I would have booked it.
Thank you all. Going to finalize now since we are expecting a snow storm tonight and need to give her their plans today.

Ohh ok. That extra morning magic is 7:45-10, so it threw me off when you said an extra hour. By 9am when park opens their might be a couple lingering but majority of EMM guests will be eating. So if your friends arrive early, they can do PP with a short wait.

If they want to do PP without a FP, then yes send them there first thing in the morning.

The EMM crowds don't affect the regular crowds. The EMH (Extra magic hours) is what affects the regular crowds

Thank you so much for your responses! I missed these yesterday. It makes me feel a little better.
I will take out the first non FP Haunted and if they have time in between FP, they can do fillers, I will be sitting with my friend today to go over her itinerary.

All, if there is a PAID EMH, is there still RD for the regular guests?
I need to give my friend a step by step set of instructions. Thanks!

perhaps you answered this previously, but why not swap carousel of progress and peoplemover with Jungle cruise, so that they aren't walking from Tomorrowland to Adventureland in the morning, and then Adventureland to Tomorrowland in the afternoon? Future World is in Epcot
