Thread: How will AM EMH affect my plans to ride TSM?
Started 3 months, 3 weeks ago by winterman
The only day that we will be going to DHS is an AM EMH morning. I hope to ride TSM twice. What would you recommend to do as far as when to get a fastpass vs when to go thru standby line. I've read lots about this but nothing that dealt with the EMH factor. We have never done TSM before. Neither have we ever taken advantage of EMH. DH and I will NOT stand in a line that is more than 45 minutes....
last year we did this, first fp's were for return time of 9:05 i think and then got in line and rode...got a second fp at 9:20 and return time was for much later..i felt bad for the people coming into the park i think the return time was for around 3 pm already. We are going to emh am again, great way to ride three times in an day w/ little waits.
Did this twice on our last trip (just returned). Both times we got there for rope drop, grabbed FPs, then hopped on line to ride (~20 minute wait). The FP return time was 9:15 (I was third in my line for FPs one day and fourth the following week). We did a few other things, then returned at 9:15. I grabbed another FP before we rode. The result both times - 3 TSMM rides with little or no wait ...
Just did this last wkd for EMH. Got fastpass, rode standby (about 15 min wait), did something else, then went back for fastpass time (9:40). By then fastpass distribution was up to 1pm. Worked fine and everyone was happy with two rides on TSM.
The key is to arrive at DHS as soon as possible and position yourself as close to the Rope Drop at Hollywood and Sunset as possible.If you only want to ride twice that day and FASTPASS return time is not a concern,I would ride first and then get a FASTPASS.

Yep, that's what we...
On many mornings, guests (B) are held for Rope Drop near the HAT (#2)
before being released into the park at opening time (Regular of AM EMH.)

The " Alternate Path " on the TSM route below is
now nearly always used by the CM's to route guests to TSM following the Rope Drop.

TSM totally eclipses ToT and RnRC.

You will have little trouble (after first riding and/or getting a FP for TSM right at Rope Drop) going over to RnRC and ToT and riding without a huge crowd in the early mornings.

Yep, that's what we did on August 3. We were close to the front of the RD crowd, we kept to the left side of the stampede to TSM, and then we went...
