EMH Question?

On Monday April 16th AK is having morning EMH. The regular park hours are 9am- 7pm that day. What time would it open? According the website the parks open 1-3 hours early on EMH days. I am assuming that it would open at 8am but wanted to find out.


Thanks!

Morning EMH are 1 hour early, so if regular hours are 9am, EMH would be 8 am and AK park buses will start running around 7am. AK is the furthest away from Wilderness Lodge so it feels like an eternity between buses (it's about 20 minutes) so you might want to get to the bus stop around 7am. Getting to the park early is a GREAT time to get some photo pass pictures taken in front of the AK marque, and often they have characters out in front of the park. I can't remember if they were there before EMH or not becuase we got there right at 8 the last time we did AK EMH so we didn't stop. But they are there before regular park opening.

Thanks Sonya! We will be using the car to go to the parks so I noted on my spreadsheet to try to get there for 7:30. I told DH about the PhotoPass CD and that I want to try to get as many pictures as possible taken. When we first went together in 2001 we had some GREAT pics taken at AK of us with Micky and Minnie.


I really wish that we had pictures taken when I went with the in-laws in September. I was alone shopping on our last park day (MGM) so I have 2 pictures of me in front of the Sorcerer's Hat and that's it.


I have been sooo excited about this trip. I look at my spreadsheet EVERY SINGLE day. I have never been so excited about our vacations before (even our cruise which I loved!).

Melissa, you'll need to take the bus to AK if you plan on getting there at or before opening. For some reason at Animal Kingdom they do NOT let cars through the gates until the official opening time of the park. We found that out the hard way.
