Good attractions for busy afternoons?

[wannagoback]

I'm working on a list of activities for Saturday afternoon on our trip. We have 6 day hoppers so I thought it would be a good time to do attractions that have no or minimal lines.

So far I have come up with:

DL
Play in toon town
Pirate's Lair
Mark Twain or the other ship
POTC (closed while we are there though)
Castle walkthrough
Tiki Room
Petting Zoo

CA
Muppets
Animation Academy
Little Mermaid Ride
Redwood Creek play area
Monsters Inc

Any other suggestions?? Some of these I have never done before so tell me if they don't belong

Thanks!

You might try Small World and Buzz since they both move fast.

Also hold onto FPs from the morning to use during the busy times. Especially Splash and Grizzly River Rapids if it's hot.

DL Railroad (would suggest not getting on at Main Street though)
Captain EO
Tarzan Treehouse
Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln
Innoventions

Shopping

Monorail
Sorcerer's Workshop/Beast's Library/Ursula's Lair
Turtle Talk with Crush
Drawn to the Magic (do they still have that? I didn't notice on recent trip)
Aladdin (esp. if you have VIP passes)
Paradise Pier carnival games
King Triton's Carousel
Blue Sky Cellar
PFF (coronation ceremony or story time)

BTW . . . there's a petting zoo?

What do the VIP passes for Aladdin accompish? Can you line up later or get better seats?

We were seated earlier and up closer, but I would have preferred to sit back a few more rows so we could see the flying carpet easier.

I also prefer to sit further back. In the balcony actually.

Great tips everyone, I've added them all to my list! We won't be going to the park till lunch time that day. I know... I know... But with 6-day park hoppers we need to have a sleep-in day and Saturday seemed like the best choice

Good thread. see below:

POTC (closed while we are there though)

Petting Zoo

I'd add:

- Davey's Canoes.
- Jungle Cruise
- Pinocchio & Snow White
- maybe Storybookland &/or IASW if the line is not too long.


CA
Muppets
Animation Academy
Little Mermaid Ride
Redwood Creek play area
Monsters Inc

I'd add:

- TT w/ Crush.
- Screamin' Single Rider (parents switch off) while the kiddos ride Triton's Carousel.
- Toy Story (i've found the early afternoon to be as short a line as any to ride this popular ride).
- Golden Zephyr.

Any other suggestions?? Some of these I have never done before so tell me if they don't belong

Thanks!

All the suggestions you received are great! As you can see, there are lots of attractions that typically dont have long lines a lot of the time. My suggestion would be to get a wait time app if you have a smart phone, then you can look yourself and see what the wait times are right when you are there. I have Mousewait on my phone and really like it.

The big three I would suggest are Captain EO, It's Tough To Be a Bug, and the Sorcerer's Workshop. All three are also inside with AC, so that's a plus.

Don't forget about Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln! It has great exhibits, it's inside, and it's a Disney classic!
