Wow!! Thank you so much! I look forward to seeing your thoughts. We are all early risers, so getting to the parks early is not too much of a challenge for us.

Hi Kenny! I just subscribed and am using your touring plans for our trip June 2018. We always subscribe to the avoid EMH parks, but this year we are thinking of doing morning EMHs and then hopping to another park after a mid-day break. But since we've never done EMHs I'm not sure how many rides we can actually plan on completing. And I can't find any EMH touring plans (except yours for AK). Have any guidance?

I'll create some additional ones for subscribers. Park Hopping in WDW requires a 1 hour commitment, so it's rare that I recommend that.

Other websites include for MK morning EMH Astro Orbiter and Mad Tea Party (some also include Meeting Tink & Mickey), but I can't tell how updated those sites are. So I'm wondering if those attractions are also open in the morning, or is that outdated info?

Thanks, your site is invaluable!

The Disney Jr dance party doesn't take place any more. We were there in early September and asked about it when the doors weren't open. We were told it had stopped about 3 months prior.
