Below is our touring strategy for next Saturday, 10/17. Crowd calendars list it as a 7 or 8 day. Let me know your thoughts, as this is our first FP+ trip. We are planning on arriving an hour before RD to make this work. Would anyone risk 7DMT and then try the list, or would that likely throw off our schedule?

1) Peter Pan

2) Winnie the Poo

3) Big Thunder Mountain

4) Splash Mountain

5) Pirates

6) Jungle Cruise - Fast Pass #1 9:35-10:35

7)Indy Speedway - Fast Pass #2 10:40-11:40

8) Buzz Lightyear

9) Space Mountain - Fast Pass # 3 11:40-12:40

We will then head to the Fast Pass kiosk to try and snag a FP for Haunted Mansion

Lunch

10) Carousel of Progress - (No complaining)

11) People Mover

12) Haunted Mansion - Fast Pass - If we can get them

We will then try to hit up the Fast Pass kiosk and try to snag another one for possibly Dumbo or something else

13) Its a Small World

14) Little Mermaid

15) Dumbo

16) Tales with Belle

17) Carousel

18) Barnstormer

19) Tea Party

20) Aladdin's Carpets

21) Swiss Family Tree House (No complaining)



At this point, we will wait for seven dwarfs mine train.
 
Not sure I would do pooh then, that's a lot of time walking there and back vs heading into Frontierland after PP?

I'd put Pooh in with the rest of Fantasyland in the afternoon IMO.

Looking at wait times right now at 9:12 on a Sun morning, PP is already 50 mins and 7 Dwarves 60. Jungle Cruise is 5 minutes. Are pp fast passes gone for your date?

I'd also add Aladdin in around pirates/jungle cruise time frame.
 
Your bouncing from Fantasyland, to Frontierland, to tomorrowland all before lunch, bouncing around throughout the day between all of these lands. I would suggest in order to maximize your time and not bouncing around so much, start from the back of Frontierland (Splash/Thunder Mountain) and looking at a map, go from ride to ride. I would FP+ Peter pan and in the morning if your doing a rope drop, everyone runs to fantasyland, while you would be heading to frontierland which is very light at opening and you will walk on almost all the rides in Frontierland working your way from land to land, not coming back until you hit all the rides in that land.

Based off some suggestions here, we have updated our plan some. We will go straight to Frontier land, knock out all we can, and then walk through Fantasy land, check wait times, then hit up our first FP which is now Dumbo 9:30-10:30. From there, use our FP's in Tomorrowland for Space and Buzz, knock that land out, then eat, and watch parade, hopefully snag a FP for Haunted Mansion, ride that, then spend the rest of the afternoon in Fantasy Land. Much simpler. Thanks to all for their input!
