12:25 ADR @Plaza possible after FP+ 11:50 Mine Train?

[hoopics]

We'll be at the park later this week on what is sure to be a 9 out of 10 day. Lunch ADRs have been scarce, but I just snagged one at the Plaza at 12:25. Problem is, I also have 7DMT for the 11:50-12:50 window and nothing's open to move that. If we're standing in the 7DMT FP entrance at 11:50 sharp, do you think crowds will let us get through the ride and the walk done by 12:25? How much (if any) grace period would we get at the Plaza past 12:25 on a max crowd day? Complicating things, we'll be dragging along our 4 and 7 yos.

Thanks for any thoughts.

You'll be fine. Show up at 11:45a and I bet you'll be let on. The FP wait is usually pretty short, and the ride itself even shorter.

You can enter 7DMT's FP line at 11:45a.

I believe FoF is running at 12:00 later this week. It will be at the Hub area by 12:15 and may impact your arrival at Plaza. You should have a 15 minute grace period for Plaza check-in.

Agree with Mesaboy.

But just a comment- don't drag the kids. That just slows you down and they get really dirty from all the used pixie dust lying on the ground. Try pushing them, instead.

Thanks everyone. This is helpful. A follow-up -- do you think we can be in and out of the Plaza in a bit over an hour during the lunch rush? Our FP+ window for Peter Pan then closes at 2:15.

Yup.

You should be fine. However, if you don't feel like walking back and forth from Fantasyland to Main St., you may want to consider just eating at Pinocchio's or Columbia Harbour House.

We had a similar fp/plaza situation and it worked fine. Don't worry! Have a nice time!

You should be fine! The FP line for Mine Train is actually pretty quick.. In all the time we've ridden it with a FP, we were on the ride in 5 minutes. Plus you have a 5 minute before grace period, so you can even get in the FP line at 11:45.

I've ridden Mine Train 3 times with FP+ since its opening. Every time I've walked right onto the ride. They put the FP+ people through very quickly. The ride itself is super short. No problem with your window!

Closing the loop for anyone who finds this thread in the future -- this worked very well. We got hung up on Small World prior to Mine Train, so we didn't actually get to Mine Train until 12:05. we were done with the ride by 12:15, and made it to the Plaza exactly at 12:25. Five minute wait for our table and then had a great lunch. Highly recommend the Plaza for sandwiches (and air conditioning). The price premium for sit down service wasn't terribly high relative to most of the self serve / counter serve locations we've tried in the past.
