When do EE FP's run out?

[OrthoDad]

We've got a trip coming up, flying in from the West coast on a Friday night, and staying at AKL. We're going to get in pretty late to the hotel, but we'd like to go to AK the next day (we're approaching this trip as a casual trip...not commando). But, my boys would like to do EE that day.

I know it's hard to give definitive numbers, but on a Saturday in the summer, how early do the EE FP's run out?

We were thinking of getting to the park around lunch time, trying to watch Nemo and the parade, and maybe EE (with FP), and Dinosaur...and that's it for that day.

Sounds reasonable?

Thanks!

Likely around 2:00 - 3:00 o'clock.

EE also has a single rider line though, if they are out of FP's, you can try that but you won't be able to ride with the rest of your party.

Like you said, it is hard to tell....we were just there at the beginning of May on a day that it was predicted to be the worst park to go to. We rode EE 12 times, and 2 of which were with FPs. The longest wait we had was 20 minutes, and then it progressively went down later in the day. Now I don't know if it is because the crowd predictions were wrong or that everyone didn't really want to go on EE...but whatever the reason, we didn't really need those 2 FPs to ride. However, who knows what the Summer months will be like...Good luck!!!

I'd conservatively say they'll be gone around 3:00, but honestly- if the single rider option is open, it's a great choice.

I once rode EE 14 times in a span of 80 minutes. I don't think I waited longer than 5 minutes per ride in line, and several times I didn't even stop walking between the time I entered the single rider line and the point where I was sitting in the car.
