Very difficult to predict. They don't tend to sell out right away, but since it's hard to predict just when/if they will, I wouldn't wait too long if it's really important to your plans.

I got behind this week but just wanted to say
for stopping by to post with your EMM experience. I've added your review link to Post #3. I'm thinking about doing Space at rope drop on our next EMM morning, so appreciate the detail of your timing.
Thanks again.

Darn. Well I know last year they changed opening hours to 8am about a month before. So I can maybe just be thankful that Disney will be saving us money by not offering it on 12/11.Yep, no EMM showing up on Sunday 2/2. The pattern breaks!

Bummer! POP Warner is that week isn’t it? Maybe it’s because of that? I’m still hoping for 12/11.

Do you know the details of the one day cancellation policy? Is it before midnight, or a full 24 hrs?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but Tuesday 12/4 is not showing up as an EMM date either. So that's now Sunday 12/2 and Tuesday 12/4 with no bookable EMM dates.
So either...1) Disney is following last year's pattern of no EMMs in December, or 2) we're now off a 180-day pattern for EMM dates being added. My guess is EMM may be on hiatus for December, but hard to know for sure. I guess we'll see....

Thank you for the update. I’m so disappointed. Last year we went the week after thanksgiving and were so bummed that they didn’t do EMM November or December. This year we booked in early December. If we’d booked the same week as last year we would have been able to do EMM :-(

We did EMM on 05/15 so thought I would pop in and give a quick review.
I do not pay quite enough attention to the timing as others (sorry) but we were staying at Pop. I know we were trying to make it downstairs and at the bus stop for 6:30, but we were running late with the kids. Did not wait long for the bus though, and we arrived at MK by 7:15. Went through security, over to the far left side to get our bands, and in the line with others by 7:25. They let us through just after 7:45, and we didn't mad dash to the rides, as this was the first time walking down main street. Stopped to get a family photo in front of the castle, time stamp was 7:50, watch the ducks in the pond for a minute (!!!) and went on Peter Pan first. Then off to SDMT. Our wait was the longest the first time we went, but I think was not even 5 minutes. Time stamp for first SDMT was 8:10. We rode 3 times, then went to Winnie the Pooh. My youngest wanted to ride it again, so my husband did that with him and my oldest son and I went back to SDMT and rode it again. They met up with us after their ride and we went another another 2 times. We probably could have snuck another one in right before the masses as our last time stamp was 8:58 but we didn't. So we ended up with PP once, SDMT 5/6 and Winnie 1/2. Then we didn't want to wander too far, so went and rode under the sea and met Ariel before going for breakfast around 9:30. Breakfast was good, fresh, hot and enough variety to keep everyone happy. When we finished we managed to hop on IASW and Haunted Mansion with minimal wait before heading to BTMRR and Splash for our first FP's of the day. We got a lot accomplished and it was a great way to start our vacation. And we were very lucky to have some of the nicest weather that we had all week during EMM. I would definitely do it again!

We ar very excited for our upcoming trip (Aug 2018 for 14 days)
Decided to stay at a value resort with free dining and using the extra $ for many extras instead of delux resort.
So we have two EMM scheduled 8/21 + 8/26
8/21 was sold out but I tried multiple times a day and after a week 2 tickets became available.
Looking forward to coming back and giving you guys a double review at the end of August

So excited to have booked for 11/25! The website wouldn’t let us book this morning at first (kept freezing) and when we called a cast member said it was sold out. However on the phone with them we ended up getting the website to work on our end and booked.

This is what we did. Chose to stay at Pop Century (no free dining unfortunately), and used the savings for other stuff - EMM, pirates and pals fireworks cruise, Star Wars dessert party. I am happy we did it that way, as we spent very little time at the resort and the room was clean and the beds comfy. And all the extras made for a very special trip

Anyone else having trouble booking EMM through the website? Tomorrow is the day I am able to book for 11/25. I saw above someone had difficulty this morning so I went on and just tried 2 different dates and when the 7:45 time slot button comes up, you can't click it. Nothing happens. It turns darker blue, but it does nothing from there. Anyone experience this? If I run into this tomorrow morning at 6 am....and have to call...I can't call until 7, right? Yikes!! Why now??

If the time button “pauses” like that, right click on it and click “open in a new window.” That does the trick for me (usually).

@Babs1975 the above advice has worked for me in the past. I wasn’t able to actually click on the time, but when I right clicked and opened in a new tab, it worked.
