Hello,

Our trip is now 3 weeks away and am now optimizing touring plans around dining reservations and FP+s. Does this make sense? The plans' website makes suggestions for other FPs but I don't know if I should give up the ones I have or reschedule them. I do think I should cancel My Meet Cinderella/Raphunzel one since I able to book the Royal Table for Breakfast after I getting my FPs. We do have a 2nd day MK on Thurs, 8/27 with FP+ for Buzz (10:25-11:25), Splash Mtn (11:25-1:25), Meet A&E (6:50 - 7:50)

Monday

Breakfast aRoyal Table at 8:10. How much time should I allow here? Should probably move the rest of the times.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh 9:09am
Tomorrowland Speedway 9:20am
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin 9:35
Dumbo the Flying Elephant 9:49

Meet Ariel at Her Grotto 9:57
This would be a good candidate for FastPass+.
The Magic Carpets of Aladdin 10:28
It's a small world 10:39
Mickey's PhilharMagic 11:06 (Don’t see how this can be right with the time arriving at Fairytale Hall?)
Meet Cinderella and Rapunzel at Princess Fairytale Hall 11:22
This is an existing FastPass+ reservation. (11:00-12:00)
- Perhaps get rid of this one?
Peter Pan's Flight 12:05
This is an existing FastPass+ reservation. (12:05-1:05)
Enchanted Tales with Belle 12:22
This would be a good candidate for FastPass+.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train 1:17
This is an existing FastPass+ reservation. (1:15-2:15

Meet Tinker Bell at Town Square Theater 1:38
This would be a good candidate for FastPass+.
 
What kind of walking speed did you give this? You are all over the park, and I don't see how you can wait in line, ride and walk in the time frame they've given you.

If you're willing to lose the Cinderella/Rapunzel M&G, then I would change it for one of the others you've listed as a good candidate. Tinker Bell would probably be my choice since that is later in the day and could build long lines.
Put Magic Carpet on your other day; it's all the way over in Adventureland, and all your other rides are in Fantasyland/Tomorrowland. This will also give you some time to space out your morning to give you some time to get from Point A to Point B.
 
MK is open until 11pm on August 24th. Why are you trying to squeeze so many attractions into the first half of the day? I would recommend spreading this plan out throughout the day so you do not feel so rushed, as stated by sharonabe this plan will take you all over the park within a short period of time..
 
Thanks for your replies. I will plan out the second day in Adventureland. That makes sense! We have lunch on that day at Be Our Guest at 2:20. Really trying to move that to dinner. I'll split the days out and repost. Thank you. Which line is longer, Raphunzel or Tinker Bell? Again, we'll see Cinderella at Breakfast but I know 3 years ago Raphunzel was hard to get!
 

I haven't been to CRT, but for other character breakfasts I plan for up to 90 minutes just to be safe and leave a little wiggle room for the next agenda item. We've been through in less than an hour on a slow day at Crystal Palace and about 90 minutes at Tusker House.
 
I'm comparing the plan above with what's in the Unofficial Guide. We have 2 days to tour MK. Don't plan on being there late either evening. Is it better to wait for some of the attractions until my second day there on Thurs which is EMH hours. It used to be that you had to run to Dumbo first but now it looks like it's the Mine Train. Is that worth going on twice? I do have a fp+ on my first day on Monday and could then hit it again first thing on Thursday AM. Does Pete's Silly Slideshow get crowded? I see that doesn't open until 9 on my EMH day.

Any feeling if it's worth me dropping Cinderella/Raphunzel for Tinker Bell? Does Raphunzel get crowded early? I could go there first thing on my EMH day if it's worth giving up the FP I have on Day one. I also see that Enchanted Tales with Belle opens early as well on EMH days.

I'm finding the new FP+ system much more difficult to use when planning our days. I'm stuck with an Anna and Elsa for 6:50 pm on Thursday so will not be able to get any more FPs that day. Not loving that!
