There is EMH almost every morning this month. Just FYI if you didn’t see that. I haven’t read it opening prior to EMH, just regular park opening days.When I was here in November, Pandora was opening earlier then the rest of Animal Kingdom (approximately 30 minutes??). Is Pandora still opening early? Trying to determine what time to be there if we want to make an early dash to Pandora tomorrow.
We are here now. Yes, they are still opening Pandora early.
It varies. We have been here two weeks and have gone to EMH several times. They have been letting us in around 7:45.It opens earlier than the 8:00 EMH? How much earlier? Might be doing FOP at rope drop next week so I just want to be properly prepared.
What is the EMH crowd like right now? We arrive tomorrow and I’m curious if the crazy Pandora rope drop is a little more tame because of so many EMHIt varies. We have been here two weeks and have gone to EMH several times. They have been letting us in around 7:45.

Wow! That is a good morning!Depends on how the CMs run it . It's still pretty chaotic most of the time. Exactly 2 weeks ago, we scanned into the turnstiles right at 745am which was a few minutes after they released the hounds and it was a pleasant stroll. Some people were still running. We skipped FOP and walked on Navi instead and were out before 8am. Then we saw maybe 4-5 people on the way to EE. It was glorious to have that half of the park essentially to ourselves.
So arriving at 745 we rode Navi, EEx3, Dinosaur, Dinosaur Spin, ITTBAB, and met Pocahontas, all by 9:05 with a bathroom/bandaid break, all at a very leisurely pace. We didn't wait in a single line except 5 minutes for Pocahontas
We did rope drop this week with young children in that range. Our experience
1. Arrived 715 good number of people ahead of us in line at turnstiles. Buses from all star seen leaving depot when we were walking in. People behind us took Uber. We drove.
2. Ran into turnstile issue with party before us so lost time. Then we had one with little kids fingers. Seemed like wdw wanted to slow some of the lines. Advice make sure kids fingers working properly night before.
3. Then herded to resort Id check. Make sure have magic band or linked ticket- would check ahead of time-as saw people stopped.
4. Then waited at park rope drop.
5. Then walked to pandora, line moved quickly and out by 820-830. Line for ride at that point way way back.
6. Rode rapids (delayed opening so waited), Everest and pandora river ride before 10. No fast passes.
Not bad. So it wasn't the stampede I'm envisioning?
