HDDR timing question

[Lisa F]

6:15 HDDR and then 8:00pm Sleigh Ride. is it doable or too tight? Can you go spilling right out and onto the sleigh over there?

Thanks

I think it is too tight. The HDDR is really close to, if not actually, 2 hours. I am not certain how close the wagon ride load zone is, but I would say about 4 - 5 minute walk

Good Luck

I had read that it is a half hour turnaround between shows. But now that I think of it, they tell you to show up at 6:15 but my guess is nothing actually gets started until more like 6:30? they take some time to start letting people in and get them seated and situated etc. I think it is right there (looking at a map) but I think even 5 minutes late would be problematic as they do not allow more than 5 minutes time between rides and they are on the half hour. I worry that 8:30 would start getting to be too late, we have to go back to the room and pack. We are at the Poly and I wanted to be back in the room and comfortably in PJs to watch the holiday wishes from our lake view room. an hour should be enough time I guess, but with the transfer not sure. we could maybe go for the 5:30 ride but it may not be dark enough to really enjoy the christmas decorations at ft. wilderness. so I guess 8:30 would be preferable and not rushed. worst case we should be somewhere suitable for fireworks viewing by 10:15? Also if the show is a full 2 hours from 6:15 the timing would be pretty much perfect. I worried about hanging around for a half hour.

That is a lot packed in on your last night.
My one question is travel time from Pioneer Hall/Fort Wilderness to the Poly. Is there a boat from FW to the Poly?
If not, there are buses immediately after the HDDR now back to MK. From there you would have to get to the Poly. When we have done HDDR in the past it took awhile to get "home'
Good Luck

We went to the HDDR back in August for an 8:30 show. Looking at the pics on my phone, the latest one I took was at 10:14 and the show was not over yet.

thanks. I can't get anything for the time I wanted so I guess I will skip it this year! 8:30 is gone and I think 9pm is too late on our last night with all of the travel.
