A couple of MK questions...

[OldSchoolReasons]

1) Firstly I've got a 4.20pm dinner res at BOG, and a 5.30-6.30pm Fastpass for Splash Mountain - that's doable right? I have no concept of how big MK is as I've only been Disneyland Paris before...

2) After hitting Fantasyland at RD, is it best to go Space Mountain and go round the rest of the park anti-clockwise, or Big Thunder and clockwise? I've FP Space for 1.20-2.20pm but am now doubting it.

3) If the Mine Train opens when I'm out there (5th-19th May fingers crossed), would you FP it or rope drop it?

Just thought I'd get a second opinion as being so closer to my arrival date has filled me with plan doubt. So excited!

1)Yes,I would leave BoG by 6:10 to be safe.

2)I would go to Space from FL since it is closer than BTMRR.

3)I would do both!(barring something unexpected happening,the Mine Train will be open during your Holiday)

Have fun!I love "your" Pavilion at World Showcase,the UK Cast Members are the BEST!

Magic Kingdom is surprisingly big. It would be a good idea for you look at a map and plan your route back to Splash Mountain from your BOG dinner. However, you have dinner booked for 4.20pm so you should have no problem getting to SM before 6.30pm. Service can be very quick if you need it to be, just keep an eye on the time.

If can do 2 days in MK you should. We usually split the park in half. I think we spent one whole day doing just part of Fantasyland and all of Tomorrowland.

Space Mountain has been filling up quickly after rope drop, not sure what the lines will be like closer to your trip.

What is your FP for at 1.20?

And I agree about 7DMT. FP and rope drop. If you get there for RP and it's too busy, you know you already have a FP saved for later. I'm thinking that 7DMT is going to be the ride most people go to first. Which means the other FL rides might be less busy. So for us, I think we we're going to do FL first and use a FP for 7DMT later in the day.

But who knows what's going to happen once it opens. Pure speculation now!

It might be a good idea to find a 7DMT forum on here and follow it. People will be posting what their wait times are and strategies are.

Hope you have a great trip! So jealous you're eating at BOG!

Yeah, I'd say that's totally doable. Give yourself 20 minutes to get to Splash to be on the safe side.

Honestly, I don't consider the park big enough to have to go clockwise or counter clockwise. The hub layout makes it fairly easy to go from land to land without needing to worry about that. I have serious ACL/meniscus issues and we still get to do everything without having to worry about going clockwise or counterclockwise. Especially with the new FP system, i would think that is the case. Attractions like Pirates can be a walk on or a long wait depending on the time of day, so it's important to be flexible rather than methodical.

I would fastpass it for sure.

Have fun! I hope we can see Disneyland Paris someday.

Fastpass is for Space Mountain, figured if I went that way round it'd give me plenty of time to do Fantasy without worrying about SM queues! I've got a second day planned to mop up anything I don't manage, so really need to stop stressing

Thanks! I plan to have chips and a pint in my own Epcot pavilion to test for accuracy!

Looks like the general advice is - it's manageable and stop stressing! Now I've got the bare bones of a plan locked in I'll try and go with the flow. I'm sure this won't be a problem once I'm actually there

I only just realized you were from London. My husband is from London and I lived there with him for 5 years before we both moved to The States.

DH really liked the Rose & Crown Pub. It reminded me a bit of stopping at a country pub for a Sunday Roast. The food was yummy. And I was very excited to see that they had a fairly accurate Pimm's. DH did complain about the beer selection at R&C. Not the best England has to offer and not cast condition. But still, a really nice experience for someone who is missing home.

And if you have a second day to mop up anything you didn't cover you'll be fine. Don't stress, relax, and have fun. And as my husband always says, the English, are great at queuing. So you'll be fine.
