Fantasyland stradegy

What is the best strategy to tackle Fantasyland? I usually avoid Fantasyland because it is so crowded but we are going April Mon 6- Fri 10 2015 (Spring break) with family & one wants to check out Fantasyland. I know its a small world is best to ride in the evening but the rest im clueless on. TIA for any and all suggestions.

I'm assuming you will have have one Magic Morning given the days specified. If so or staying on site with EMH - Get there early for rope drop - It is worth it.

We are AP holders and have made many rope drop/Magic Morning before having passes and we always knocked stuff out super fast. My strategy is the following:

For this example let's assume MM is 7am :

Be at security check by 6:15am / Gate by 6:30/6:45am - basically asap
Once gates open we do this priority :

Peter Pan ( using numbers above we have typically waited 10-15 minutes)
Alice in Wonderland/Dumbo ( I THINK it's open during MM could be wrong)
Pinocchio
Mr. Toad
Snow White

Honestly IASW is never a bad line. We have been in line that was posted 45 minutes and it never really drags on. We love it at night but also find the line moves fast no matter what so don't be intimidated.

Using the above model we typically are done by 7:45-7:50am. It can vary on the days , especially given spring break but knocking out stuff early then doing an early break at the hotel if needed and coming back refreshed has always worked well for us.

Here is mine:

1) Peter Pan
2) Dumbo
3) Alice
4) Toady
5) Canal Boats and Casey Jr. as soon as they open
6) Matterhorn
7) Teacups
8) King Arthur's Carousel
9) Snow White and Pinocchio, doesn't matter which order
10) It's a Small World

Do you only go on magic mornings? Or what day of the week is best? And how long aprox do you think it took to accomplish the 10 rides?

Yes, we have magic mornings as we are getting a 3 day ph.

Thanks!

I think it's hard to get all of them done, in the mornings for me at least, it's worth a try though. I like to go to FL on mornings that are not Magic Mornings as well. The only time I wouldn't try is on a Magic Morning when you DO NOT have Magic Morning because FL will already be filled with guest! Maybe save Pinocchio, Snow White, and the Carousel for the afternoon. Also you can do the Castle Walk-Through for the afternoon, which I have never done, but want to!
