Anyone done FoP during morning magic hours?

I've noticed that the day we're going to AK will be morning magic hours... has anyone done this yet? Just wondering if you get to go on it multiple times?

Yes we did FOP during EMH but you can't get to ride it multiple times, by the time we managed to get to the ride at 8.10 the queue was at 90 mins and then when we got off (exactly 90 mins later) the queue was at 240 mins!

Tried to do this today. We were at the park about 7.20 but it was rammed. When we got let in and followed the crowds the queue was huge - way over the bridge toward Africa before we could even join the end of it. We gave up and went to Everest instead (a walk on), checked on MDE about 8.25 and the FOP queue showed 150 minutes. It got up even higher over the next hour or two. This afternoon it was down to 90 mins for a while, so my advice would be to not bother with EMH and look out for shorter times during the day. We didn't ride it at all today in the end as we have a FP for a later day anyway. Loved Navi river journey and Pandora generally though.

Wow, that's insane!
We're going in two weeks so hopefully once the kids are back at school it will have calmed down a bit!

Our plan during EMH is to do the river ride and the safari. If Pandora is too busy we may even avoid the river ride and do Dinosaur instead. Definitely not expecting to get on FoP quickly or ride it more than once.

Looks like we're going on the same day!

So excited! We booked 18 months ago! Haven't been for two years since honeymoon!
