Advice on which day to go to EPCOT in May

Hi fellow Disney planners,
I have my first trip since the Pandemic coming up this May, from 24th till 2nd of June.
I have 3 day PH tickets and 1 AH for HS on the 30th. Since AK & MK are my faves, I have the Monday 24th planned for start at MK (first park day has to be MK) and the EP because of the EEH on Monday at EP, I can take in the festival etc. and then on Wednesday AK all day and then MK with EEH. I am avoiding EP on the weekend because of the extra crowds due to it being a festival and the last weekend. And Monday the 2nd is also the last day, also a no go I think? But now, the new hours for May are starting to appear on the MDEA and it shows that now on Mondays is AK EEH, I HAVE to go of course. But now: which day to go to EPCOT without the crazy crowds you think is best? Please help & Thank you…
BTW staying at the GF.

You’re going for nine days, but you only have a three day pass? Am I reading that right?

Mondays, plural? I think it was just ONE Monday. May 4.

Well they posted only the 1t week of May so far, I figured they switched it out, but could be a one off? It si EEH for AK on that day, which is the first I have seen this year.

Yep.

I think it’s for that particular day because Epcot is being rented out that night.

It is a one-off. Epcot is being rented out that evening, so they had to change which park to do EETPH at.

ETA:

Apologies for my bluntness, but that sounds like an incredibly stupid waste of money

It may be that she is going to other places besides WDW parks. Or maybe has plans to rest and relax a lot.

We enjoy just being on Disney property even on non Park days. So, it depends on what you are looking to do.

LOL… I am staying at the GF, so in my view taking a day or 2 to just enjoy the property, actually get some rest, get in some DS time maybe even catch a Cirque performance, it is a good value for my money.

Even with buffer days, I can’t imagine spending more than six nights/seven days

Fortunately for you, this is @WDWBubbleFan‘s trip and not yours.

I would pick whatever days there are EEH because I love them. We also love AH at HS and have found that we can do an entire day’s worth of rides in that 7-1 timeframe. (The only bummer being unable to see certain shows that end before 7.)

Thanks! yes that is kind of where I am going with my TP: hitting all the EEH. I really really really hope AK gets an EEH while I am there.. I understand that even though it hasn’t been posted yet, they might still add it right? If not than at least I get the whole day, but seeing Pandora at night is one of my faves! Fingers crossed!
