I will note that while break downs can happen, they don't happen for most dates.
I agree, Angie. I've read nothing but good things about EMM until now. I'll give it a shot.

I agree. When you have an event with 3 rides and 2 of them are down, you should be proactive to compensate your guest. Just assuming offering FP till noon is an option is poor CS. For 1 ride, maybe. For 2, no.We were also at EMM this morning. I did get a couple extra anytim FPs but I wonder if I should be asking about a partial refund.
The thing that irritated me most honestly was that they should have had guest services come over to FL instead of asking us to trek back to the front.

I'm starting to get very worried about this event. We go 1/28.
I know the dates we attended there were "plaids/suits" all around FL. They may have even out numbered the regular staff actually. No idea if that's remained normal or not. We haven't attended one in a while.MK GS is so busy - I don’t think they could have spared the manpower, and I’m not sure they’re set up to “go mobile” at will.
I didn’t mind going back to the front of the park, but I was glad that it was just me for EMM. My family would have been murderous if they had been dragged out of bed for this. There would have been mutiny!
The problem is not that ride(s) were down. It's that they don't have a concrete plan of what to do if 1 or more rides are down and in this case for the majority of the event time. Of course maybe they do and just want to see how little they can get away refunding.

This mirrors our experiences, minus ever attending with 7D going down.
Never more than 1 train load on the coaster, few guests in the buffet
No one else around when riding Pooh or Pan.
They've always opened Charming Carousel up too.
And one EMM they also opened Small World.
Actually, they can "do gown". That's why characters are absent at times.
It's called "friends" get sick and at the early hour, fill ins are probably not easy to get.
This is our EXACT Senerio in a few weeks! We purchased EMM tickets for our last day, we have the only FOP FP’s we could get for our trip at 11:00 and then have to head back to our Resort to catch ME to airport! I would NOT be happy with and extended FP until noon, just wouldn’t work for us. I would definitely be going to GS and want compensation in the form of a refund of at least one of our EMM tickets!I suggested it because sometimes, you plan your day to do what you purchase, which ends at 10:00. Maybe you have other plans already made and can't remain at MK till noon to use what was provided as a replacement. Remember, in this case it wasn't something offered as a choice, it was given as the only option as a replacement, so it's not like they could have refused it or anything. So, if OP had other plans that couldn't be changed and was unable to take advantage of the ride till noon option then I can see asking GS for other choices. Or what if the ride doesn't come back up by noon?
Believe me, I'm the last one to run to GS but there are times where it's a viable option.
Going just to say you had to wait 6 more min in the FP line? No, I would say it's not one. Especially if you have 4 hours to ride vs. 90 min.
But if you plans to go to another park that day that can't be changed, say you have a FP booked for FoP and it's the only one you have for that entire trip, because you expected to be done at MK at 10:00? Then maybe yeah, it's worth saying I can't stay at MK to use the FP.
Don’t assume that GS will refund if you do go to them. I spoke with two different GS CMs who both said all they could do was a couple of anytime FPs. Neither seemed to really understand what we lost out on. Really frustrated actually.
