EE-Related Question (but different)- NEED YOUR HELP :)

[Adi12982]

I know from ride max what order to do (listed alphabetically, not in order to keep my promise to the ridemax software): Alice, Dumbo, Mad Tea Party, Matterhorn, Mr. Toad’s, Peter Pan, Pinocchio

HOWEVER, King Arthur Carrousel, Snow White's Scary Adventure, "it's a small world", Buzz Lightyear, Astro Orbitor, and Space Mountain are also open.

Let’s say we live in a perfect world where I can get the first bunch done in less than an hour – what order would you do the rest in? OR lets say day 1 of EE I do the first bunch and day 2 I want to do the rest, what order would you do those left?

I would get a FP for SM as soon as I could. Buzz can get pretty long so you might want to head there first and then finish Fantasyland. That's just my reccomendation.

Buzz and SM have FP's. Some will advise you to skip them during EE since you can ride them with FP during the day.

So if you skip them, ride the rest in this order:

1. Astro Orbitor. That is a slow loading ride and the line builds quickly after opening.

2. Carrousel. The line will move quickly, but it can get big later in the day.

3. Snow White. It rarely has a long line.

Small World is usually not open for EE.

I go against the grain and usually do both Buzz and SM during EE after I have done all of those rides you listed plus Astro Orbitor. I then get FP's for them as soon as I can so I can ride them later in the day too.

Either way, I recommend riding Astro Orbitor after your Ridemax rides.

Do Fantasyland first and save Tomorrowland for later when you can FP them. No use in riding ridees where you can wait the same amount of time later in the day. Maybe ride Peter Pan, Matterhorn, or other FL rides twice.

One of the reasons I save SM is that it takes the longest to ride, by the time you walk and wait through the queue. I usually don't want to waste my valuable EE time. I do also recommend getting a FP for it as soon as possible (FP machines should start operating when the park opens to the public). I am usually able to get in all other EE rides when I want (and sometimes a second Matterhorn ride) during EE.

Thanks for the tips. . .

We also go against the grain. We spend the majority of our EE riding Buzz. Why? You can ride it over and over with virtually no wait and the more you ride the better you get. No way you can do that with a FastPass. I agree, if you only want to ride it once, go the FastPass route, but if you want to go for the high score or the top ten to get your name posted do it during EE.

I do not have ridemax info, but just got back & enjoyed EE on Monday & Tuesday (6/4 & 6/5). You post a good question. Many folks have only 1 day EE (like us when we visited in March).

With ONE day EE (assuming the tea cups & Astro Orbiter are dispensible), I would ride...in order:

PP, Dumbo, Alice, Matterhorn, Toady, Pinocchio, Carousel, Buzz & be prepared to get a SM FP on the hour mark.

note: Small World, Snow White & Tea Cups can be ridden during EE but also at other times.


But since we had the experience of being able to use 2 days EE this past week, i would alter the One Day EE Gauntlet & would do two days of EE in the follow manner:

EE DAY 1 - PP, Dumbo, Toady, Tea Cups, Carousel, Pinocchio, Snow White then off to grab an Indy or SM FP on the hour mark.

EE DAY 2 - Alice, Matterhorn, Orbiter (if necessary) then Buzz 2 - 4 times (which is next to Orbiter), perhaps SM. Then be prepared to grab an Indy or SM FP on the hour mark.

(A poster above mentions that Buzz is fun to do multiple times. I agree and this is what I did on our second day of EE with my 8 y/o son...we rode it 3 times between 8:10 - 8:30 during EE with no wait. Post # 28 in the following link explains how we ended up doing our second day of EE www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1469845&page=2 )

Note: I put Alice in Wonderland FIRST (on the second day) because both days we were there for EE, Alice got mobbed after 10 minutes and stayed mobbed. Also, all advice above.... assumes you are IN LINE 30-40 minutes BEFORE EE opening.

We have "walked on" Small World" (take the RIGHT rope line which goes across the moat...everyone else takes the left rope line) at 10:30am, 1:30 & 5:30 & see no reason to waste EE time at IASW - also it's a nice ride during the hotter part of day. Further, what worked for us at 10:30 was sending a runner over to Roger Rabbit to grab a FP, we then did IASW & Toon Town & then rode RR with our FP.

We also "walked on" Snow White several times during our 3 days (at different times). We'd be walking by & noticed no line , so we'd jump on.

Have fun.

& if my opinions are alot different than Ride Max, I'd be curious to hear where i'm off track.
