Wait times during fireworks

[ErinInCT]

With EMH evening hours at MK (June 9pm - 11pm) how long are the wait times if we skip the 9pm fireworks? By around 8pm when everyone else is staking out their viewing spot do the lines get drastically shorter? I'm guessing right at 9pm non Disney guests will no longer be allowed on rides? I am trying to decide if it is worth it to go to MK on an EMH day knowing we won't stay until 11pm, but hoping if lines are shorter we can do a lot from 8pm - 10pm. I've only been in September when crowds are low!

1. By around 8pm when everyone else is staking out their viewing spot do the lines get drastically shorter? I'm guessing
2. right at 9pm non Disney guests will no longer be allowed on rides? I am trying to decide if it is worth it to go to MK on an EMH day knowing we won't stay until 11pm, but hoping if lines are shorter we can do a lot from 8pm - 10pm. I've only been in September when crowds are low!

1. I'd not expect "dramatically," but, yes, to a degree shorter.
2. We'll, no more will be permitted to enter the LINES after 9PM, but those already in line can stay in line until they ride.

it really depends sometimes line are shorter during fire works and some times not, the latter in the day the shorter the lines are
