Thanks Kent! I have printed this to use for my plannning! You rock!

Thanks for the info! It's a bummer that Expedition Everest won't be open during EMH (maybe they'll change that-I hope!), and the water parks don't appear to have EMH during Oct. Maybe because it's almost the end of hot weather? hmmm....
