Wait times during HS evening EMH?

[KendallR]

We are trying to ride RRC, toy mania, and tower of terror during evening EMH. How are the waits? Is this impossible?

It would be early March

Statistically, every guest in the park will be in those lines.

Figure 25-55 minutes, depending on, well, everything.

I agree two times we went to DHS Pm EMH and both times had long lines, we actually left early because it wasn't worth it.

Did Disney announce evening EMH for DHS in March? I thought they were supposedly going away in February?

Below is the link to the Walt Disney World Travel agent calendar for March 2017-no DHS PM EMH listed

This was February and not March, but we were able to do all these during EMH on Friday the 17th. The wait times were 15-20 min for each ride.

Sorry to jump in on the thread, how does everybody find the AM EMH? We would love to do EMM at HS again but it's looking like it's unlikely to return, so may try the regular magic hours instead.

TSM is the overwhelming first choice.
Then, ToT and R'n'RC.

All can be ridden within a typical AM EMH.

AM EMH is roughly the same in every park. Less people than normal opening rope drop but not always much less. It's the 10-11am when the first wave of we're not waking up early guests come so you have an extra hour before that happens... (second wave is roughly noon if your trying to plan fastpasses before a afternoon break).

Don't plan around this next point but I've noticed if you happen to be at WDW when there is a 3 or less crowd that 75% of the guests are rope droppers and they pack the place right away and it's the afternoon when they resort break that has nobody around and short waits. I've seen it several times but that low of a crowd happens only on a few days a year you can't plan for it and its impossible to guess which day it's going to be to try to witness it again.

Also if you happen to be around on a 5 year anniversary (oct 1 for mk(2016) and epcot (epcot being 2017), don't remember the others) you'll find rope drop to noon to be a dream crowd as everyone generally gathers for some special speeches and things and then go off to buy that day only merch.

I have to say on our last trip the parks got busier much earlier than I expected, I thought maybe most people would get there around 11am, but on most days things were looking pretty busy and lines pretty long by 9.30-10am. Which is why I enjoyed EMM so much *sigh*
