BOG then SDMT- time for PP?

[Surgie2]

BOG at 8:30 (9:00 park opening). Our priority is to eat pre-ordered food and get quickly to SDMT before RD crowd.

Is it likely we can then get to Peter Pan with less than a 15 minute wait or best to FP it?

Probably not, assuming you do it after 7DMT. You may not beat the RD crowd to 7DMT anyway.

When are you going? During a super packed time, I'd say no, but on average we've generally always been able to do it. We're usually out of BoG by 840/845 (do not wait til 830 to check in, checkin asap.) and in line for SDMT... unless there's a paid event they should take you through the line and the first load of ppl should be riding before rope drop (assuming there are no delays etc.) As soom as we're off RD has happened, but just the very beginning of folks are getting to PP when we are. Having said that we do move quickly and if Mine Train is down we're only stay in line until RD, then we're out... just not worth messing up the rest of our morning.

We are going on a Thursday in late January. And yes we’ll check in to BOG before 8:30. Trying to get reservation moved earlier but no luck. Reserved online right at 6:00 at 180 days and we are onsite so BOG is day 2, but still nothing before 8:30 for 7 people.

PP might be only 15 min. wait by the time you get there . . . could be a bit longer. Even if it's a 20-30 minute wait, I wouldn't FP it. The queue is so amazing and interactive for PP and it would be a real bummer to miss that aspect in order to FP it.

It’s a razor thin time margin really. If it’s not a EMM morning the CMs may walk the 7DMT line a few minutes before opening. If they do that and you aren’t too far behind rope drop the line shouldn’t be too long. By 10-15 after opening though it’s usally a pretty long wait already.

Not going to happen unless you want to eat your meal so quickly that you want to see it again while on the ride. I had a 8am BoG ressie and by the time the food arrived and I ate I got to the ride at 8.50 and there was already a line of people who had park ADRs at the same time as me and had formed a line even before rope drop. I wouldnt spend all that money or a DP credit to wolf down my food so quickly that you wouldn't get a chance to taste it.

They let everyone with a PPO ADR in the park by 8am, at which time you can go straight to BOG and review your order at the kiosk. When we did this in May we were out of BOG and the very first people in line for 7DMT, BUT they did not take us through the line until closer to 9. By the time we were off 7DMT (first people, first train) the RD crowd was already there, flooding the area. I'm not sure you would have much luck going straight on PP without a wait. I would probably FP PP, then you can hit HM, BTMR, Splash and head to PoC without much waits after 7DMT.

I hear you on that! But we have just one park day (went for 10 last year) and our oldest granddaughter’s favorite ride is SDMT. We are staying onsite but know FP at even 60 days out are not likely.

With two younger ones in tow who can’t ride, we are trying to figure out what can work with minimal wait. Last year we did EMM which was awesome but that traditionally hadn’t been offered on a Thursday.
