Can I get this all done at MGM before noon?

[cheshirecat74sc]

I am trying to plan out the rides to go on at each park. Is it humanly possible to see all this at MGM before a 12:00 lunch? (We are going to be there the day after Thanksgiving).

Rock N Roller Coaster
Tower of Terror
Star Tours
The Great Movie Ride
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
Magic of Disney Animation
MuppetVision 3D
Who Wants to be a Millionaire

Thanks,
Sharon

I'm not sure you could do all of that in 3 hours on a normal Friday, let alone the day after Thanksgiving. On top of the lines, the shows take a long time. I think the Great Movie Ride is an 18 minute ride. The Disney Animation Tour is about 30 minutes. Who Wants to be a Millionaire is 30 minutes (which is only offered at certain times) I think Little Mermaid is probably about 15 minutes. Sorry, I don't think it's humanly possible, at least not on the day after Thanksgiving.

Maybe by 2, but 12.. I dont know. That's a very busy time of year.

Good luck

Agreed. We've been several times for Thanksgiving week, and it's not even remotely possible. If think you might be able to do 3 or 4 of those things if you plan your strategy carefully, but not even close to all things on your list. Sorry, but I think it's back to the drawing board.

That's what I figured, but the Unofficial Guide to WDW lists all these things before lunch. Maybe the author is saying to do a late lunch, after 2:00 maybe?

Does anyone have a park itinerary that they have used and it's worked to see every attraction? I'd like to go to Sci-Fi and Prime-Time Cafe and see the afternoon parade and Fantasmic - am I asking too much?? LOL

Thanks,
Sharon

No way to get it all done by noon. You could do it by sometime in midafternoon

Boy, that's alot to do! Unfortunately I don't think you'll be able to do it by noon. You may have a hard time getting it done in a day because the Thanksgiving week is very crowded. I don' t know how late MGM is open that day or if Friday is an early magic hour for them. If it IS an EMH day, get there before park opening and see as much as you can before crowds start arriving. Is your time limited due to a short stay?

 

[cheshirecat74sc]

I'm pretty sure there is no early-entry on Friday. We are staying for a week and planned to go on that day. I'd switch it around but I've made too many reservations for dinner shows and restaurants at this point to change anything.
That's o.k., I'll just try to see as much as I can and it will give me an excuse to come back!

Thanks
Sharon

Not sure, but I think they just didn't "schedule in" lunch. I don't see eating mentioned anywhere until step 17, whis is AFTER Fantasmic! I think you're expected to work the mealtimes in on your own as this appears to be a full day touring plan to me.

Just actual attraction times alone, not counting waiting in line or getting from one to the other are:
RnRC 10min
TOT 10min
Star Tours 10min
GMR 28min
Mermaid 18min
Animation 40-45min
Muppets 30min
WWTBAM 30min

So, that's a grand total of 3+ hours in attraction time. PLUS walking time, PLUS waiting time. HTH
