Booked 8 days worth. Got A&E for two of our MK days and 7DMT for all 5 days we are at the MK (MK is our arrival day, departure day and half day with DAK so really 3 half days and 2 full days). Every full day our FP's are between 11am and 3pm so hopefully we will be able to take advantage of rope drop plus additional passes later in the day for the smaller attractions. My strategy was to book the headliners of the mountains, Peter Pan, A&E...but hopefully rely on later in the day 4th+ FP for rides like Jungle Cruise, Pooh, Haunted Mansion, Buzz etc. Should I be OK to get these 'lesser' attractions as my 4th plus pass the day of? Or should I go ahead and book a couple of them now to guarantee we will have it? We are going the week after July 4th mind you...
It is so hard to know what the 4yo will like. She loves rides but not too fond of dark and loud things no matter what the subject matter (she hates arcades for example). She is one who potentially will love BTMRR but hate Winnie the Pooh because its 'too scary'. I am anticipating 7DMT to be my 4yo favorite ride (she loves kiddie roller coasters). I figure if she doesn't like it we will just adjust at the park if need be but I would rather book as many 7DMT passes as I can up front knowing I probably won't be able to land a 7DMT the day of. My strategy has us risking having to wait in 'boring' lines with young children but I figure these smaller attractions will be easier to get later. Plus the interactive ques for HM, PP, Pooh and Ariel may be OK for a 4yo and 2yo to wait through right? Am I totally off base or on to something?
Do I NEED to book Pooh, Buzz, HM, Bell, Small World, Dumbo, Ariel, Jungle Cruise in advance to avoid 30+ minute waits or no late in the day FP?
The other three parks we just booked our top three attractions since we plan on only one day at each of the other parks.
