Fp/touring strategy for MK

[emsstacey]

we will be attending magic kingdom on a recommended day and MNSSHP day. I mistakenly made fp+ for space mnt at 9:10, PP at 12:20 and 7dmt and 2:30.

My question is, should I leave the space mountain and head to jungle cruise and pirates first and catch space at the end of the window and head toward our 11:00 lunch at BOG or switch it to a 1:00 fp for something else and hit space mnt at rope drop without a fp? I will have 6 people with me and want to minimize running across the park if possible.

Thanks!!

You won't need a FP at 9:10, so yes, I think it would be better to do Space Mountain at Rope Drop and switch that FP to something else later in the day.

Or, if you do keep the 9:10 FP, your idea of doing JC and PoC first and then hitting Space close to 10:10 would work. Space will probably have a substantial standby wait time by 10:10.

Yes, I would move it later, maybe for Splash if you plan to hit Tomorrowland first.

I usually save Jungle Cruise and Pirates since I can always add a FP+ for those later in the day.

Thank you! I will do that!! That sounds good and good to know I can probably get fp for pirates and jungle cruise after we finish 7dmt.

Definitely don't need a FP+ for Space Mountain until an hour after park opening. You can easily re-ride standby in that hour. (Last week I did Space Mountain three-to-five times in that first hour, three days in a row.)

I switched it to Splash at 12:40... I think that will help our afternoon tremendously!

you will not need a FP for the first 30 to 60 minutes for space so I would use your FP for something else
