OK legend planners we arrive mid Monday 22/9 and leave Fri 26/9. Must dos are DCA - RSR - TSMM - screamin - Fun wheel - TOT -WOC - LFT? - Rapids? DL Splash Space Buzz Small world Matterhorn Autopia Indiana Jones BTMR Parade Dumbo? Peter Pan? We are offsite but will have 1 magic morning entry. Like to eat at Rainforrest Cafe one night. Anyone got time to plan my days for me? Happy to start early day 1 but likely to fade by day 3 early in morning. Bummer that there's no fireworks as we've seen Halloween ones before and they were brilliant! Funny hours that week to work with too.
First, arrive before park opening, especially for your MM and your DCA opening day (Thursday) and place yourself in a good position to get to your first destination. A DL, that's Peter Pan. EMH plays a part in this as well. You said you have a MM, that's great. Use it on Tuesday. I (usually having an AP and staying offsite) typically start at the park opposite MM. So, this would mean starting at DL Tue, Wed and Fri. Even if you don't stay until close, be there at park opening every day. If you get there an hour after the park opens, it doesn't much matter what order you hit the rides in (the ones I tell you to ride first will be crowded by then), but be sure to use FPs whenever possible.
So, I'd probably start my Mon (midday) at DCA, you can go either way (we have), and grab a TOT FP, a Soarin FP or a GRR FP. If you grab TOT, you could see Aladdin, visit the Animation Academy, ride Monsters or visit Bug's Land or Cars Land in the meantime. If you grab Soarin or GRR, then I'd visit Paradise Pier while waiting for my return time. I think I'd try to get in the RSR or TSMM line shortly before park close.
Tuesday, be there early, pay attention to the gate labels and be sure to start at one of the Magic Mornings ones (I'm not sure how it's labeled). Wait at a rope near the castle and head straight thru the castle to Peter Pan, the ride Dumbo, then Alice, then more of FL if you have time. When the park opens, grab a FP to Space and ride Autopia and Buzz. After using your Space FP, head to the other side of the park, grab a FP for Indy, ride HMH, and then just play it by ear, get a Splash FP, ride Pirates, etc. Winnie the Pooh never has a long line, so don't make it a priority. Snow White and Pinnochio typically have shorter lines throughout the day. So, you may want to hit those in the afternoon.
Wednesday, there's no MM at
Disneyland, so you have a good opportunity to catch whatever else you want to do in FL early (toad, Storybookland boats - I'd do Small World after most other FL rides). Toontown opens an hour after the park, so if you're interested in meeting characters there, be there when it opens. Today might be a good day to hop early or send a runner to DCA to get RSR and WOC FPs. Try to hit your other DL priorities that you missed on Tuesday today. I'd spend some afternoon time in DCA or catch Mickey and the Magical Map.
Thursday, start at DCA at park opening. I'd head to TSMM first, send a runner for RSR FP, ride the rest of the Paradise Pier rides (Screamin, Fun Wheel, etc), grab a TOT or GRR FP (it depends on what you did on Monday) and finish up DCA. The Matterhorn is set to reopen today, so you may want to devote a chunk of your late afternoon to riding it. I wouldn't waste morning time on it (it may not be open first thing the morning after refurb).
Friday morning will hopefully be saved for repeats. Just have a plan of must-do's and try to hit those first. If you didn't get on the Matterhorn on Thursday, try it first today.
Also, I was reading this as September 22-26, but now I notice your title is 3 DAYS to go. So, you're going in August?
. Will have to try earlier next time.
