Having realistic expectations at MK

[kclark9830]

Hi everyone. We will be going to MK on a Monday in September. Is it being overly optimistic to hope to do all the NON-headliners in Fantasyland between RD and lunchtime (lunchtime being flexible)?

We have FP+ for the bigger rides later in the afternoon, so I had hoped to do most of the non-headliners by lunch. Wasn't sure if these were realistic expectations. We have only been to WDW once before, and we were so clueless that it's hard to use that experience as a comparison .

It depends on

a) which Monday in September. There's no way you could do this on, say, Labor Day, but any other Monday in September is possible.

b) your definition of lunchtime. If you get there at RD and your lunchtime can be 1 or 1:30 PM, I bet it could be done.

c) your definition of non-headliners.

September (except for Labor Day weekend) is quite possibly the least crowded time of year, with kids being back in school, no other big holidays, etc. As long as you have FP+'s for Mine Train, and any of the "mountains" you wish to ride, this could well be done.

Yes, you absolutely should be able to do all of Fantasyland before lunch. Especially if there are EMH's that day. September is low crowds - except Labor Day like PP said - so you will be able to get a lot done.

I'm going to guess the 3 headliners are 7DMT, Pan, and ETWB. Leaving Pooh, Dumbo, Barnstormer, Mermaid, Teacups, Carousel, Small World, Philharmagic...am i missing anything? No way you DON'T do all of those by lunch IMO. You can do Dumbo and Barnstormer in the first 20 minutes. And probably 2 more before it's even 10. If you're using one of your FP on A&E, Use the other two for ETWB and 7DMT and hit Pan first. I say that because if you use your FP on Pan and try to hit ETWB first that will eat up your first 30-40 minutes of RD time.

Thanks everyone! This makes me feel much more prepared. Yes, we have FP+ for SDMT, ETWB, and PP's Flight. We also have A&E on a different day, and we're planning on doing frontierland and adventureland on that day, besides A&E.

After our FP+ use, we plan on heading over to tomorrowland. I feel much more confident in our plan now!
