DCA - plan of attack

[Aust]

I'm trying to figure out how to best approach DCA (next Wednesday 12th Jan).

We'll be staying at GCH so we'll be able to use their entrance.

What is the best option?

A. Soaring open before 10am:

1. Ride Soaring, then go straight to TSMM

2. Or get a FP for Soaring and line up for TSMM (are the FP machines operatng before 10am??)


B. Soaring not open until 10am:

1. Line up straight away for TSMM, then do some other nearby rides (e.g. California Screaming, Fun Wheel etc), then get a FP for Soaring and ride whenever

2. Or get a FP for Soaring straight away then go to TSMM

Any other suggestions? We want to minimise wait time for TSMM as a priority, but also not have to wait too long for Soaring! Sorry if it's confusing.

When we were there around the same time last January, Soarin didn't open early, but the fastpasses were available. We got fastpasses, then walked over to the rope drop near Grizzly River Rapids to head to TSMM. Worked great!

Hopefully on a Wed in Mid-January TSMM wont be quite as crowded. You may luck out...

I would do the rope drop. And maybe 1-3 PM check the liine again....

You might get 26 min wait times... I have seen it before on a Wed...

Are you going to Fastpass WOC as well?

We're doing the Ariel's Grotto WOC meal on another night so we don't need to worry about WOC FP's. Thanks for the advice, I'll have to waith and see what the situation is on the day!

THIS! Soarin (and its FP machines) open at 9:30 every day. The past like 5 trips, we've always hopped around 9:30-9:45ish, gotten a Soarin FP and lined up at the rope for TSMM. Line up by Grizzly River Run! It's faster than the other rope.
