I have a fp+ for 7D at 1045am. We will need to ride twice with rider switch. We then plan to head to pecos bill for lunch. After lunch we are heading to splash mt. Here's my question... What's a reasonable time to expect to be at splash? First trip so I don't know how long things take. We currently have fp+ for splash at 1230 but theres availability earlier too. I want to be able to ride splash as soon as we are done eating so we can leave the park in time for a nap. Gotta be back for an adr later. Any insight on timing and how long things take is appreciated.
 
I'd keep your 12:30 FP for Splash. It's hard to say how long lunch will take depending on the day you're there, how long the lines are, how long it takes them to get your food to you, how long you & your family take to eat, etc. If you had to, you could always try to change the FP time last minute on the MDE app while you're eating if you think you will be able to make it to Splash earlier. Not sure what the odds of getting one would be last minute since I've never tried but it wouldn't hurt..
 
If you're doing 7DMT twice, you have to consider 5-10 minutes to get through the line. Erring on the side of caution, if it's 10 minutes per, that's 20 minutes on line, and the ride is short, couple of minutes, so let's say 20-30 minutes before you're completely out of there. That puts you at around 11:15. It'll take a good bit of time to walk all the way to Pecos Bill. You're best bet, I think would be to go through the castle, make a right and cut through Adventureland. Probably put you at Pecos Bill somewhere between 11:30-11:40, depending on how fast you walk and how crowded it is. You'll be hitting Pecos Bill right around the beginning of the lunch rush, so figure 15-20 minutes to get your food (have someone find a table while you wait as they can be very hard to come by), so, we're looking at around noon by the time you sit down to eat. Now, if your fFP for SM is from 12:30-1:30, sit down and enjoy your lunch, as the entrance to SM is a quick walk from Pecos Bill. If it's from 11:30-12:30, you may be cutting it a bit close, but you can still make it. If your FP is for 12:30-1:30, and you get there say around 12:45-1, you will be in and out I'd say the latest 1:30. So... depending on where and what time your ADR is, and where you are staying, you should have a decent amount of downtime.
 
Thank you both for your help. It's nice to get actual ideas on how long everything will take.
