Today we hit up MK on party day so we'll see how the combo of that and EEMH affects crowds. We're hoping to have a full day by 2-3 pm.
Worked out great for me on Friday! I know the Dorian crowd levels were unbelievablly low so this week wasn’t a true sampling, but.....I went Thursday evening. BTMRR was true 15 min wait around 7:30pm. Friday morning I rode it 6 times in a row starting when it opened at 8am after EMH. Two out of 6 of those rides....CM said pick whatever row you want...b/c there weren’t enough people in line to fill up the entire train.
Here is what I did 7am-8am, with 6:50am tapstile arrival.

I know length of waits will increase with crowds. But comparing Dorian Crowds on Thurs evening to Fri morning of a party day....you could definitely see you can get more done with the EMH and being at RD. We didn’t even need to queue up before RD...walked through turnstiles just before 7. fewer people willing to get up early than stay late. Plus, with EMH at 3 parks....spreads out RD people even more. And wondering if those “after 12pm tix” are making a difference as well in the RD crowds.
