Fantasyland plan help please! What do you think?

[NicholeB630]

With an 8am rope drop do you think doing all this before say 11:30 is doable in early September when crowds are at its lowest. We are arriving the Thursday after Labor day.

Winnie the Pooh
Tea Cups
Dumbo
Barnstormer
Under the sea - meet Ariel
Possibly meet Merida or Peter Pan
Possibly meet Gaston if we can catch him at the right time
Regal Carousel

What order would you do this in to move the quickest? We will FP Mine train, Peter Pan and Enchanted tales with Belle. Thanks!!!!

Correction not 8am rope drop but 8am EMH

I think it's likely since you aren't doing any of the "biggies."

Check if Merida will be starting at 8am and hit her first if possible. I'd do Tea Cups and Pooh on the way to Gaston, then Under the Sea + Ariel M&G on the way to Dumbo and Barnstormer. That way, you don't have to crisscross the area.

I do not think you will have a problems with this most things are walk on early in the morning and since it is EMH it will be even easer I do not know what time Merida or peter pan dose meet and greets but I would do tea cups winnie dumdo brain stormer under the sea meet Gaston if he is out the carousel and then Peter Pan if he is out and Merida I think you could do this by 10;30-11 quite easily

Awesome thanks! I def don't want to crisscross so I wasn't sure though if I should do certain ones first or not but like you all said it shouldn't be to busy especially at 8am. I would think most people are rushing to the headliners first thing in the am. I am pretty sure the meet and greets don't start till 9 even on EMH days. I'll have to double check though.

Last year we got stuck on small world which made us late getting over to Merida. If you have to wait through a break for the next meet to start it will eat a huge chunk of time. I am by no means a Disney world expert yet, but my advice would be to make getting over to Merida before her first meet starts a priority.

That will just make it hard plannign as we'll have to back track over to her because she wont start till 9

I did not think you would need to back track? Merida doesn't start meeting until 9:15. We were there for an 8am open and did Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, met Ariel, under the sea, met Alice, and small world before Merida and we would have been there for her 915 meet if we hadn't have gotten stuck on small world. I was just going off of your order, which I thought would have been doable before 915. Sorry I was just trying to help based on what happened to us. We ended up losing a good 35-40 minutes by being late to Merida.

No that sounds like a good plan. I wonder if I could get all that done on my list by 9:15? I think even if I got there at 9:30 it wouldn't be too bad as I'd think most people are going to the other rides. Thanks Being stuck on IASW doesnt sound fun. It will be not running when were there thank goodness. HA

I think Peter Pan doesn't start meeting till 12:15 most days.
But otherwise looks good!
