I just want to know if you guys think this is possible or if I should change it around. I'm going Dec. 11th (Monday) with boyfriend and 3 yr. old daughter.

Arrive by 8:30am. Park opens at 9am.
9am : dumbo
9:15 : Pooh ride
9:30 : peter pan
9:45: fp for space mt.
10am: toontown fair, barnstormer
mickeys house and judges tent
11am: space mt. for boyfriend only while I get buzz lightyear fp
11:20: lunch
12:20: buzz
12:45:TTA
1:30: Haunted Mansion fp
1:40: phillharmagic
2:30: its a small world
3:15: haunted mansion
then leave park for 4:40 ADR at 1900 Park Fare at Grand Floridian

Please give suggestions and let me know what you think. We'll be going to finish MK on Saturday, the 16th (our last day :sad: ) where I'll do Adventurland, frontierland and CRT dinner. I'm also going to mvmcp on the 12th but I only want to do xmas stuff. Thanks.
 
I have never been in December, so I don't know the crowds, but I think giving each ride a specific time may be stretching it. It's almost impossible to tell how long a line alone will take, and what other surprises will come along on the way.

It might be possible, but it's very hard to judge times when you don't know all the variables.

Hope I was of some help,

Probably, we don't usually go at slower times but you can do most of Fantasyland in an hour with no waits. I'd switch Pooh / Peter Pan, Peter Pan backs up pretty quickly but Pooh moves faster.

I usually try to be at the park at least 1hr early, you really want to be waiting at the gate or in by 8:30. You'll get a better seat for the opening show and be ready to go when they drop the ropes. Get to Toontown about 10/15minutes early, they'll have a rope drop and escorts to start the day there. Really fun.
 
My thoughts....

Don't set yourself up to fail with a strict timeline. Yes, have a tentitive schedule ...roll with it and relax. :thumbsup2

Remember...the lil one won't have the stamina to go all day...without a rest, nap...unless you want to be dragging around a grumpy kid by 3 PM.

Yep...Do as many of the rides and toontown as "time allows" before you break for a few hrs....then you'll certainly enjoy your dinner and so will the little girl.

There's always the next day..or even the next trip :love:
 

Oh jeepers, that sounds so rigid and strict. I would hate for you guys to rush yourselves so much. What if there's a line? Are you going to get stressed because such and such was supposed to happen in 3 minutes?
You know what I mean....try to ease up on the schedule. Like the previous posters said, have a general idea of what you want to do but timing it out like this is a little scary. (to me it is, anyway)

I wish you luck and hope you have a wonderful trip!
 
Hate to dissapoint you but your schedule to me seems allmost
impossible. I would just do as many as I could then go to the dinner.
15 or 30 minutes between rides, I dont know does not sound good to me

Times may be a bit off and I agree with the poster who said Peter Pan before Winnie but it looks fine. We make it through the park w/ out Winnie and Dumbo before noon and we "do" everthing else.
 
I 'm not going to stress out over missing something. I just wanted an idea of how many attractions I can do before lunch/before dinner since this is my 1st trip. The reason I put so little time in the 1st few attractions is because the park would just have opened and I believe if your there early, you can do a lot in the 1st hour or so. I know that I can't predict the wait times and how long the lines will be, so I have an alternate day where I can go to MK again and just go to AK 1 day instead of 2, but thanks to everyone.
 
If I'm not mistaken, Haunted Mansion no longer uses its FP.
 
I only make ADR's for lunch and dinner and then let the rest fall where it may. It's too hard to have longer/shorter lines, unexpected fun things pop up or you may just want to do something off the beaten path.
