Do I even need a Plan with G+ & EE ???

[chezcurrie]

1. Per UndercoverTourist, they knocked out Snow White, Pinocchio, King Arthur, Mr Toad, and Dumbo all within 30min.

I know these are not E-ticket rides, but that is ALOT.
Getting 4 rides down in the same time as a single E-ticket seems sensible to me, especially if wife isn't a HUGE coaster thrill fan.

2. Also, this may be heresy, but WHY NOT use G+ for Space Mountain in early morning? Especially if point is not to wait in lines very long? At WDW, you can get another G+ the minute you tap in. This seems like a no-brainer to get all the G+ rides done by lunchtime. AM I RIGHT? Especially if return times are almost immediate.

Please give me feedback on this strategy

1. Fantasyland is always a good pick for EE or RD as the ride times are very short and they are all close together. You mentioned 4 *very* different rides in different lands in your scenario.
If you have kids or adults who really want to do these rides then that is a smart use of EE. Again, assuming all are up and running during EE. As these rides don’t have LL (except Dumbo), again, smart use.

Another strategy for non G+ is Pirates or Jungle Cruise, then hop in line for whichever one you didn’t do. I say or because Pirates ride time is over 15 min, and that again does not account for the walk to the attraction.

(This is my pet peeve with many of the bloggers and what not - if you tell people they can knock out 3-4 rides — without real context — it is setting people up for disappointment if they aren’t able to. I have noticed some of the recent negative reports are people dissapointed they weren’t able to do ”everything” they were able to do on a previous trip/early entry/what some influencer told them.)

2. No reason other than if you want to re-ride later in the day, as G+ does not allow re-rides. Actually starting with Space is smart these days with all the ride closures.

What chezcurrie said. You can do many short rides for sure. Because the time in the attraction itself is minimal. The five rides you mention are all in the same space and 3 of them last like 2 minutes each. You can't do 4 rides in 4 dif lands that each last 10 min each because it's literally not possible to do 4 10 minute rides in a 30 min timeframe and that's not even counting walking to the ride and any possible line it may have.

Your original scenario vs Fantasyland one:

Not heresy at all. The only real reason not to use Genie+ in the early morning hours is re-rides. If you don't care about repeating those Genie+ attractions again later in the day, then using them in the AM would be just fine.

How I wish they would make this one small change to G+!! This was one of the great things about Maxpass. I recall a particularly blissful March 2020 trip (except for covid shutting down the parks and cutting our trip short by 3 days) when I was able to repeat book space-thunder-Matterhorn x 2 and then Incredicoaster x 3 all in the evening. My boys still talk about that day! Sigh, a girl can dream…
