We want to maximize our times in the park and thanks to the great advice on here, we dumped our free hotel and are staying at RPR.
We will probably arrive between 10-11 a.m. on a Sunday. We have to leave at about 5 p.m. on Monday. So two short days to see/do everything.
What's the best plan of attack?
Both parks are open 9am-9pm during your visit. With FOTL you'll manage quite nicely.
RPR is closest to IOA. Check in, get your passes and head to IOA. Go to Hulk if they can handle it. As long as you don't wait extra to be in the first row (that is a separate line that FOTL won't help you with) you can get through that quickly. If you think it's too rough, skip it.
Head to Spiderman next. Don't skip that, it's not nearly as rough as the coasters and it's one of the best rides in Orlando.
Next go to the Popeye and Bluto Bilge Rat barges. Prepare to get soaked. Not a little wet, drenched. If you don't want to get drenched skip it.
Go to Ripsaw Falls. You may get wet there but not nearly as wet as the last ride unless you catch it just right.
Exit Ripsaw Falls and head left into Jurassic Park. Ride the Jurassic Park ride. Again, you may get wet. Most people don't, depends where you sit. There is another ride in Jurassic Park called the Flying Pteradactyls or something like that. You have to be 70 pounds or less to ride it. If your kids are that small they may enjoy it but if the line is too long it's not worth the wait.
Go to Dueling Dragons if you think you're up to it. Pay attention to the exits, you can ride both coasters without having to go back down. Ask one of the attendants if you aren't sure how. This is another set of coasters, if you think they are too rough bypass them and go to the Dr. Seuss playland.
Ride Cat In The Hat. Ride the Trolley, it's cute. The Merry-Go-Round if you have time to kill.
That would almost complete your circle. If you have time and are interested in it go back and do Poseidon's Adventure. Take a minute to look at the talking fountain, it's cute. If you hit it right you can catch the show, I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
That will take you completely around the park. You have some choices, depending on what time it is.
1. Go back and revisit the ones you liked or the 2nd-tier rides like Dr. Doom
2. Head back to RPR for a breather
3. Grab a quick bite in City Walk and head over to Universal Studios
Which option depends entirely upon your stamina. Let's pretend you choose option 3 since you
can always refresh in the RPR pool after the parks close.
Enter Universal Studios. Go right on Rodeo Drive. Make a note of the next time Terminator starts. If it's soon, go there. If it isn't, head to the Simpsons Ride (as an alternative if your kids are younger you can head to ET, then the Simpsons)
Exit the Simpsons and go to Men In Black. Don't forget to stow your things in the locker first.
Since you have FOTL passes, if the kids really like MIB they can ride it again without going through the line, show the attendant your passes when you get off the ride and he will show you how. Otherwise, exit MIB, get your stuff out of the locker and go right, to Jaws.
After Jaws go right again and go to the Mummy ride (another locker, btw). Pass Disaster, remember this is still Day 1 and you can hit it tomorrow.
Exit the Mummy and go to Twister.
Exit Twister and go to Jimmy Neutron. That will take care of the rides. Now you have Terminator, Shrek, Disaster and the shows. My favorite show is Beetlejuice, you may prefer the Animal Actors. Do what time allows.
I know this sounds like a lot but if you go in before noon you can do all of it on your first day. Trust me, I've done this before.
After the parks close head back for a bite to eat, a swim and a good night's sleep. Get up early enough to be at the parks for opening time. Depending on how you handled day 1 you can plan day 2. You've already hit each major ride so you can relax and enjoy the scenery, take in the shows or revisit your favorites.
Might I suggest that if you aren't already in shape you start walking now to get ready. Remember, it will be hot and you will be moving quickly. Make sure you have comfortable walking shoes.
That's my easy plan of attack. Not only have I done both parks in less time than you have, I've done all 4 WDW parks in the same amount of time. An experienced local trying to show off can do all 4 WDW parks and both Universal ones in a day, so it may sound like a lot but you'll be surprised at how much you can do if you have a good plan.
