Will 6/3 e-ride be busy?

[Rpsemont]

Here's the scoop. My sister and family are visiting WDW for the children's first visit,so it's sister, DH, DD (7),DS (9). They have a free hotel deal so they are staying offsite. They have 4 full days to spend there (I know, not enough!) Anyway, she was thinking of arriving in Orlando Monday night and paying for a hotel so they could get a start first thing Tuesday Morning. I suggested that she may want to stay onsite (or DTD) so she can take advantage of the e-ride on 6/3. With such a short time there, I think an e-ride would be really beneficial, but then all e-rides I've gone to have been in the off season and the MK has been EMPTY. I would hate to have her spend the money for the e-ride tickets and then have there be long lines. Anyone with experience with midweek early June e-rides? Also, I know when we've stayed on site before, you can get an e-ride ticket on the date of your check out at guest services. How do you do this if you're at a DTD hotel? Thanks.

I really don't know the answers to your questions, sorry. Just wanted to say that the June 3 date is when we will probably do E-nite. We can choose between May 30 and June 3 during our stay. -HM

We did an E night in June and it was great. Almost no waiting. We rode Splash Mountain over and over - no wait. The only ride where we waited was Space Mountain, and that was minimal, maybe a couple minutes. It should be fine.

We have been doing e-ticket for several June visits now and will be there again this year the first week of June. One thing I notice is that they seem to be getting busier each year but it still is shorter lines then you would have during regular hours. One thing that concerns me this year is that if they do not extend their hours then e-ticket will be from 7 to 10 instead of the 9 to 12 or 10 to 1. If this is the case I would think e-ticket would be very busy this year as alot of guests will use it that would not if the hours were later. One good thing is that alot of comments on this board thinking hours will be extended and e-ticket will actually be later which is what I am banking on. It is funny one of the keys on my keyboard won't work now and it was really hard to do this messge without it. It is the one after o.

We'll be there then too and are trying to decide between May 30 and June 3. I'm guessing Tuesday will be less busy than Friday especially since its the Friday after Memorial Day. I'd rather do the Friday one as we'll still be staying at the Contemporary (SOG) and are moving to BWV (thank you, DVC member) on Sunday so the trip back and forth will be more involved but I'm just happy to be going with my young friends who've waited "all" their lives to see the Mouse. I'm hoping for a quiet park so they can ride and soak up that Magic Kingdom magic.
