How do I get RideMax to account for my EE day? I'd like to have EE planned so I can ride the rides other than Fantasyland after 9am.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Since it is DL policy to not keep the EE rides constant every day, RideMax has decided to not create itineraries for EE. If you look in their Help system they explain what your priority should be for rides during EE. In reality the EE rides are pretty constant, but DL has always maintained there are no "regular" EE rides.How do I get RideMax to account for my EE day?

I think during EE the most important two things to do first, are Peter Pan and then Dumbo in that order. Then usually the Matterhorn. Then after that I head to Alice in Wonderland and Toad. I do not typically go into Tomorrowland for EE since the rides that are open have fastpass for the most part. Even during EE time, Peter Pan will have a 20 minute line within about 20 minutes and then it just goes from there. Same with Dumbo. But I always do Peter Pan first then Dumbo. If I have more than one EE day I will do the Matterhorn first the next time. And usually get to ride it as many as five or six times with little to no line when I do that one first.
Hope that helps a little!
Thanks! I have a question, though...
What rides at DLR are so similar to WDW that they might be worth skipping for time's sake? I was thinking of skipping Peter Pan, Dumbo, and Snow White.
However, later in the day, we wanted to do Pirates since it is better at DL than at WDW.
Amy is a true vet of both resorts, so her opinion here is seriously worth more than mine when comparing DLR rides to WDW. I thought the PP at MK was a lot different from DL's. I liked both, and might have liked MK's better except PP at DL holds such nostalgia for me.I like Peter Pan at DL a bit more because of the twinkling lights over London in that first part. They don't have those at WDW's. But basically its about the same. I tend to ride it more at WDW since it has fastpass. At DL I know if I don't ride it first thing its out because I won't wait 45 minutes or more for that one. But Dumbo for sure is the same and Snow White at DL is inferior to WDW's. However, it rarely has a long line so if you don't see it during EE you could ride it another time.
And for sure do Pirates at DL its incredible! Almost twice as long and two drops.

The Mad Tea Party at DL is very much the same as MK, but without a roof it feels different and is worth doing. IASW looks pretty much the same inside, but DL has a very detailed exterior and so you should do that at DL. Other rides in Fantasyland at DL are unique and you should try and ride them: Alice in Wonderland, Mr. Toad and StorybookLand Canal Boats.
Buzz Lightyear is also similar, but the nice thing about the guns at DL is that they detach from the vehicle so they are easier to shoot.
Jungle Cruise, Big Thunder Mtn RR, Haunted Mansion and Splash Mtn are different enough that they are worth doing. Space Mtn at DL is much better and you should do that for sure.
Star Tours is the same as MGM and can be skipped.
At DCA Tower Of Terror is not random as at MGM, but is worth doing at least once because it does have some different effects than MGM.
Soarin Over California is the same ride as at Epcot, but the building exterior in Condor Flats and queue area has a much more aviation-like feeling which makes the ride seem better IMO.
Grizzly River Run is better than Kali at AK, and is worth doing. It's Tough To Be a Bug is the same as AK and can be skipped. Turtle Talk With Crush is the same as Epcot, but you know how each show is different so it may be worth your time. Plus TTwC is located in the DCA Animation Studios which does not have a counterpart anywhere at WDW and is worth the time.
I agree with the assessment above. We were at DL 2 weeks ago & followed much of the advice above. I posted a thread "Critique of EE" a week or so ago which (of course) had a lot of discussion on EE.
