1st time with 6 year old. Can we do fantasyland AND tomorrowland in 1 day?

[Bookgirlinchicago]

I'm trying to plan the day we're having lunch at CRT. Does it make sense to do Fantasyland and Tomorrowland that day? if not, what would be better? We're doing the christmas party that night. (november)

I'm assuming it's a girl? Will other character meets be a priority? You can do it, but if you're doing the Xmas party that night, I think a break for a nap would be helpful.

I think you can do it but personally I would not want to if I was doing a party that night. On our party days we skip parks in the morning and just show up about 4:00 when we can enter with our party ticket. Doing a park in the morning before a party makes for a really long day.

 

[LSUfan4444]

Yes, you can easily knock out both lands on a party day.

 

[BebopBaloo]

You definitely can. I recommend FP+ for Peter Pan's Flight, Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin. Those will be the rides in those areas with the longest lines...except for maybe Space Mountain and Enchanted Tales with Belle. Since, you'll be meeting princesses in the castle - I'm not accounting for the long waits that can be in Princess Fairytale Hall. Also, boy or girl, the castle is a great dining experience. My son has been rather smitten with a couple of the princesses. Plus...it's the castle...so you really can't go wrong with being IN Cinderella's castle.

That's how I pair the lands when I come with my 3 year old. We don't do much in Tomorrowland though, we usually rope drop and leave around 4 PM.

Oh, can you enter the park at 4 with a party ticket and NOT use one of your passes? And go on rides too? We have a 3 day pass. We'll probably keep it as is, but just curious.

Yes, a girl. No, we probably won't see any other characters since we're doing 3-4 character meals. Unless Moana finds a home by November in MK.

Good to know, it's not a party night for us.

Thanks so much for the tips!! That's so cute your son is smitten with the princesses!

Sure can! 4pm.

I wouldn't recommend Pooh and Buzz as you can easily get additional FPs for both. I would say Peter Pan's Flight, Mine Train, and Space Mountain for Fastpasses.

Yes. I completely forgot about Mine Train, as we have skipped it the past few times. Mine Train and Peter Pan will be the longest lines.

Yes. I recommend FastPasses for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (make sure she's tall enough for it first), Enchanted Tales with Belle, and Space Mountain. Don't make these FPs for at least the first hour & a half after park opening, as you won't want to worry about FastPasses while you (relatively) quickly go through multiple standby rides in the first hour or two after rope drop.

I recommend arriving at rope drop to do Peter Pan right away, as it has a really cool queue that you'll miss if you FastPass it. Right after Peter Pan go to Tomorrowland to do Astro Orbiters (first) & Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin (second). Then go back to Fantasyland to ride Winnie the Pooh, Dumbo, Under the Sea, Barnstormer & It's a Small World (in no particular order, except that I'd start with Winnie & Dumbo). The lines shouldn't be terrible for this if you really do arrive early enough to start touring at rope drop.

The Carousel & Tea Cups can be ridden easily enough at any time during the day. Get a 4th FP for Tomorrowland Speedway- you won't want to stand for a long time in that stinky queue.

Good point on rope dropping Peter Pan. The queue is fantastic and I am sure it is even better for little ones. And it'll save a FP for ETWB, which really needs one.

 

[dreiwhit]

Yes, you can do it. We've knocked out both lands on a party day.

 

[crayon3448]

We usually fp tomorrowland speedway whether it's planned in advance or we pick it up as a same day FP. it's one of the kids favorite and the queue is outdoors and mostly in the sun- it gets hot.

 

[BigredNole]

If done properly, you can do Fantasyland and Tomorrowland by noon. Really all that is there is PP, IASW, Philharmagic, Carousel, Pooh, 7DMT, Ariel's Grotto, Barnstormer, Dumbo, Teacups, Raceway, Space Mtn, Buzz, Astro Orbiter, Laugh Floor, Stitch, and People Mover. Done properly, with the right FPs, you can easily rope drop and be done by lunch time, maybe 1PM with all the show attractions.

Yes you can. Also, if you've already bough the Party ticket and linked it to your My Disney Experience, you can get FastPass+ as well. If you are going to be there at 4, Just schedule the first one for 3:30-4:30, then you could get another for 4:30-5:30 and the last one at 5:30-6:30. You only use 1 ticket and still get to do rides before the start of the party. That's what we do when we come down for MNSSHP.

I am trying to figure this out, but no way could we do all of those by 1:00. Assuming RD is at 9 and giving 15 minutes per ride (and to walk the que and get to the ride), takes us to 1:15. Add in a bathroom break, tying a shoe, and checking the ap and its 1:30. And thats with everything being a walk on or getting REALLY lucky with FP. How do you do all and get done by 1:00?
