Did a quick visit to Disneyland on 3/19. I wanted to see how much I can get done by 1230pm (needed to be somewhere at 1pm) on a busy Saturday Spring Break Day.
Arrived at the Mickey and Friends Parking structure just before 7am, line of cars was much more than I thought, but was able to get to the park entrance at 730am and before guests were let in.
Where I was for the Rope Drop.
Rope drop happened, beelined it to Peter Pan and was about 100 people back in line but only took 10 minutes. While in line I did the Fish for Anytime LL trick for the closed Matterhorn and got a Return anytime LL by the time I was off of Peter Pan. I then booked a LL for Indiana Jones.
After Peter Pan, I changed it up and went to Snow White as it just opened from being down at opening, went to Alice (but broke down while I was in line), so went to Matterhorn since it just opened and got on in 10 minutes, then off to Mr, Toad, Pinocchio, then Alice. I usually leave Fantasyland by 850am but stayed a bit longer because of Alice.
After Alice I headed to Adventureland. The line for Jungle Cruise was crazy long, easily 20-30 minutes yet Indiana Jones was 20 minute (really 15 minutes) Standby and it started just below the bridge where the LL meets up, So I switch LL from IJ to Big Thunder. While in line for IJ, I booked a ILL for Rise 1015-1115. After Indy I used LL for Big Thunder, then tried to get a LL for Mansion or Falcon. Mansion was a quicker return time so I got that one. Once I scanned Mansion LL, I got a LL for Splash (another quick return time), then when in line for Splash I got a LL for Falcon (refresh trick gave me a quick return time). After Splash, I used ILL for Rise, then had a Ronto Sandwich and Tatooine Sunset (MY FAVORITE drink in DL)., then off to Falcon (LL line was much longer than expected, not sure why), got a LL for Autopia. Was going to use the Anytime LL for Space Mountain, but Space was down, so I headed home.
All in all that is 6 rides in one hour, then 7 more rides from 9am-12pm. Total attractions 13 in 4 hours.
