Extra Extra Magic Hours! Post Your Experiences Here!

Thank you, somehow I had missed this.

While its true EEMH will only be Open at 7:00 and only attractions in Fantasyland and Tomorrowland will be open, by 8:00 Frontierland and Adventureland will Open. So you should have relatively short lines for Big Thunder, Splash Mtns., Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Pirates, etc., if you are able to "knock" out some of the 7:00 stuff and make your way to Frontierland & Adventureland shortly after they open at 8:00

I’ll keep looking (and posting wait times here if it’s appreciated) daily until then.

It's very appreciated, thank you for doing it! It's so helpful to see them in a quick snapshot like you've been doing.

Me too. I’m there at a similar time. I’ll keep looking (and posting wait times here if it’s appreciated) daily until then. I think the week of the 8th will help those of us going right after, but not at all someone going in October. This time of year crowds basically build every week through Columbus Day, and so far I see no reason to think this year will deviate from that. That means for pretty much everyone, EEMH will be busier than any EEMH experiences they’ve seen posted here so far. Touring Plans’s “actual” results crowd history says crowds were a 1 at All 4 parks for each of the last 5 days. That just won’t continue for 2 solid months.

But the magnitude of that build will be interesting.

I definitely appreciate your posts with wait times. This is our first time coming in September (our first day in the parks is 9/21), so I am trying to see what our waits will be like.

I am also going to be there 9/21-9/27, so I'm interested as well. Thank you for the updates!

It looks like today’s wait time is around 75mins for MFSR, which seems to be an average after opening for EEMH. Hovers between 60-80mins. TSL is typically 5mins for all the rides up to around 8am

I’m hoping the MFSR starts to slow down. Our trip is end of October and for a 5am wake up i was hoping to get much quicker wait times for MFSR. I wonder if the 60min wait times are padded and most people are getting on much quicker than the posted wait times.

We’re here now. Entered the queue at 6:57am with 65 minute posted wait. 7:25 were in the room hearing about the mission so less than 65 minutes.

Now the wait time posted is only 30 mins.

I don’t know why I keep looking at these times - makes me want to hop on a plane and be there RIGHT NOW!! I am afraid I am setting myself up for disappointment next trip when everything but a few things aren’t five minute waits!

Enjoy everyone that is there! Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Same here...also end of October and I'm watching closely to see how MFSR trends during the EEMH. I'm guessing the highest wait might be right at opening, and waiting until an hour or so in might actually be better? Thinking of heading to TSL first and knocking that out, then back to SWGE.

FWIW Animal Kingdom was showing waits in the app for all EEMH attractions at 6:43 this morning. Anyone know firsthand if it opened early?

 

[Mambo Junkie]

Curious to see how the wait times play out as the storm threat passes.

 

[Pdollar88]

The reports and wait times are so interesting! Thank you everyone for sharing.

Still debating on whether it makes the most sense to head straight to MFSR or do TSL rides first, then head to Galaxy's Edge. Will be heading down to WDW next Wednesday - doing EEMH at DHS on 9/12! Very excited.

literally exactly the same for us see you there!

We got to AK at 620AM today and we were third in one of the lines to scan band. They did not open early and we also saw wait times before they let people in so not sure why. They let us in right at 7am. We walked right to FOP and walked on even though it said 30 min wait. After we got off went right back in and said 20 min wait but again we walked right on. Then walked over to Navi river and that said 5 min wait and walked right on. Then went to Expedition Everest and rode that four times in a row with minimal wait. Then walked over to dinosaur and did that twice with listed 5 min wait but walked on. It was 830am by the time we decided to head to bus to go to another park. The crowds since we’ve been here since 8/31 have been so low we are super spoiled.

The two times we did EMH earlier this week for MK they opened right at 7am. We had already gone thru security and scanned bands and just waited at front entrance for rope to drop. Everyone went to the 7D ride but we did Peter Pan, Small World etc. with no wait time. Did every ride that was open more than once. No wait times. Ended up doing 7D with a 15 min wait listed but it was
More of a five min wait. We did Space mountain five times in a row before the park fully opened. Then when fully opened we did all the other rides, again with little to no wait. Never seen anything like it. Incredible.

 

[OKWFan88]

We did EMH for HS twice getting there at 610am earlier this week. The Millenial Falcon was busy so we did RnR, ToT, SDD, TSM, etc. numerous times with most wait for SDD up to 15 min wait. Once we did all those rides many times we walked over to SW area and waited 30 min in single rider lane for Millenial Falcon. That was our longest wait for a ride the entire trip and we got here 8/31 and leave tomorrow.

This is what I am still debating on also. I would think doing toy story land first then hit star wars would be the better option.

We'll be there in 2 weeks so I am waiting to see how crowds build soon. I do know I have seen several people who moved their trip because of Dorian to our week. For DHS we'll do MFSR first at 6am then we'll leave Galaxy's Edge and ride everything else. Then we'll go back into Galaxy's Edge later when the park opens to shop etc... We have reservations for two things in GE starting at 11 and when those are done we'll leave for a nap. I am hoping the crowds stay low but I think that is a false hope based on the artifical times because of Dorian.

My only real concern is if GE starts to use the virtual queue even though it doesn't seem like it will get to that.

I think the data pretty clearly shows this is the correct plan if you arrive at 6AM.

I would wait until next week to start really analyzing the data.
