[pumpkin_tx1]

I am booking my FP tonight and I can't decide on my MK options! I'm going the first week of June.

which route would be best? We will be in the park before RD on a non-emh day And will try for 7DMT at RD from BOG.

1.
BTMT 10am
Buzz 330p
SM 500p

2.
BTMT 10am
Jungle Cruise 11am
7DMT 12 30pm
***try for 4th fp buzz for 3pmish
***try for 5th fp SM for 5pmish

Sorry for all the grammar issues...my Kindle hates me.

I'd go for option 2

Just FYI, when I was there the past two weeks, Buzz was a ridiculously easy 4th (and 5th and 6th...yeah, I really like this ride!) FP to get. I mean, at 8 and 9 pm I was getting a FP for it for 10 minutes later, then riding, then getting another. So that's a good one to save for after your first three.

Is SM space or splash? Because Space is much harder to get. So going with option 2, I would do SM before Buzz.

In the summer when it's hot, Splash is going to be just as hard to get for a 4th+ as Space. When we were there last August, I think the soonest we could pull an additional FP+ for Splash was for the evening, and by afternoon they were all distributed. And that was in August when the parks were dead. We did have luck getting an additional ride on Splash at 3:00 by going on it instead of watching the parade. I believe the posted wait time was 45ish minutes but we were on in 15. We were even able to catch most of FoF right after we rode!

Space. Sorry about that! I'm glad to hear about the buzz one! Do you think I should drop 7DMT(since we should be good at riding it first thing) and replace it with space? Then get the FP after for buzz again and again and again? Lol We love it as well.

Do you think splash would be about the same wait as jungle cruise around 11am?

Yes. 11:00 is when the crowds really pour in.

Easywdw.com did a review of the BOG breakfast and he was riding 7DMT by 8:54 and was off by 8:58. If Splash is a priority, I'd personally do BOG, Peter Pan, any other Fantasyland priorities, and then do Splash and BTMRR. You could easily do all that without using a FP, and you'd be done by 10:00. You could then head off to Adventureland and ride Jungle Cruise with only a short wait. Maybe have a "just in case" FP for Jungle Cruise, but expect to be able to change it to something else. Adventureland crowds don't tend to pick up until 11:00, and I'll be curious to see if the summer POTC closure keeps the crowds in that area even lower.

That's a possibility, but only if you are fully committed to not just being at rope drop, but at the FRONT of rope drop. That can make the difference between a walkon or very short wait, and a wait of 45-60 minutes for 7DMT

Hard to say, it depends on how hot and crowded the park is that day.

That is what I am going to shoot for. 7DMT before rope drop honestly, fantasy land priorities, splash, btmt(fp 10am), jungle(fp11am), few of the less busy attractions and lunch, space (fp215pm), pick up fourth fp for buzz, and play by ear the rest of the night. Thank you!

I would not bother with Buzz or JC as one of your first pulls. Save both for a 4th/5th FP+. They will be easier to get than any of the headliners. Put Space as one of your first pics. And also book them back to back (12, 1, 2) or at least a little closer to each other unless you're planning on leaving mid-day. You can get more done on standby in the morning than mid-afternoon. Have a great trip!
