We did EMM on July 21st and stayed at the Gran Destino at Coronado Springs. I believe we were at the buses by 7 and got on within the next few minutes. The bag check and fingerprints were not bad lines, and we ended up in the crowd of people waiting for MK to open. They opened at 7:43ish. We walked down Main Street and and turned right, following Cast Member instructions. When we made it into Fantasyland, our party split up. My aunt and uncle went to breakfast first and the 4 rest of us went to SDMT. We waited maybe 10 minutes and got on at 7:56. We went again, at 8:08. Then we went on Peter Pan’s flight 2x. After, we went on SDMT 6 more times, making it a total of 8 times. Then we went on Pooh. After, around 8:56 we went to the side of the Tea Cups and waited to be let into Tomorrowland. The Cast members do hold you an extra maybe 30 seconds to catch you up with the RD crowd. We still ended up at the front of the Space Mountain line and went on. Then we had a FP and went on again. Around 9:40ish we made our way to Cosmic Ray’s and ordered food. Over all, my family enjoyed this meal and found it to be a lot of food. We liked and actually brought home the mini Tabasco sauces. We suspect there were more pastries at the beginning of the event after talking to the rest of our party. Right before 10 we went back up and asked for bottled water and brought them with us. After, we headed towards Thunder and Splash because we had 10 and 11 FPs.
Talking to my aunt(who was 7 months pregnant so couldn’t do SDMT) and my uncle, they went on Peter Pan, Pooh, the Carousel, Small World(apparently had a boat to themselves), and met the princesses. They made me laugh because they thought walking into the princesses, it was a ride, and just kind of wanted to walk out but Rapunzel made them take a picture(they haven’t been to Disney since they were kids so they don’t remember or know the layout that well).
I would say this event was worth it. This was actually our 2nd MK day, and we pretty much did the whole park the first day(except for SDMT). We enjoyed being able to ride as many times as we wanted. As a tip, the SDMT line gets shorter as the event goes on. At first the rope between the FP line and exit was up, but eventually taken down near the front. The Cast members were laughing at us for running around to the entrance to go on again. It was a great experience. One of my family members said that she knows SDMT is short, but if you go on that many times, it feels like one big and long ride. I’m not sure how worth it it was for my aunt and uncle. I’m glad they did some rides, and it sounds like they did what they wanted with no wait, so I think they did good. I thought it was less crowded than the TSL one, but both were worth it if you can ride SDMT and SDD.
