Help me order these rides from 7 - 8 and then 8 - 9 EMH MK

[JJ2017]

So these are the rides we would like to do from 7-8. My goal is to be as close to HM as possible by 8, so thinking end with Small World.

Meet Ariel, LM Ride, Winnie the Pooh, Small World (and maybe meet Tiana/Rapunzel)

How should we order it?

Then 8 - 9 the goal is HM, Pirates and JC. How should we order that? First FP is 8:45 - 9:45 at 7D and I want to be done in time to get to the Hub for the Move it Shake it parade at 10.

Thanks!

The Touring Plans software will be right up your alley.

I second the Touring Plans. You might be able to even get more done in that amount of time that early.

I think the order you have would be good but does Arial meet that early? That might be your only problem.

I would do JC before either POC or HM just because the line builds pretty quickly and is generally longer than POC (I haven’t really compared to HM).

But yes, TP will allow you to tweak around the plan to balance walking versus wait times. It sounds like you’re someone who would like using it.

I honestly would love it. We are a very structured family and love to know what to expect (although the unexpected stresses us out WAY too much). But we leave so soon and not sure it's worth the investment right now. Next trip will be a new ballgame for us b/c we are adding Epcot and HS for the first time. So it will be worth it to sign up next year.

 

[piglet1979]

For me it would still be worth it. It doesn't take that much to set it up and you can use it on your phone too. The subscription is for a year so depending on when you are going back you may be able to use for your next trip too.

It's worth every penny. It's like 12 dollars. It should be worth it to you from what you've just said. If you are very structured and love to know what to expect. It also allows you plan around unexpected things on the fly from your phone. Are you only doing a one day in MK this time? Check on the tp site, you MIGHT be able to create a custom plan without a paid subscription.

If you are going again within one year, it's a no brainer, imo.

 

[JJ2017]

Ok, I'll check it out! It wouldn't cover our next year's trip - or maybe it would - not sure how it works. Next year, we go November 6 - 11th.

2 MK days this trip, so maybe it's worth it.

I would do Winnie first then Ariel, LM and Small World - then HM, Jungle Cruise and Pirates

Touring plans thinks you will have 5-10 minute waits for each. It has you getting off Small World around 8am and getting off Pirates around 8:45 - so theoretically that plan fits nicely with your first Fastpass.

The optimized plan is pretty much the same with the only exception of doing Jungle Cruise, Pirates and then HM on the way back to Mine Train

It is $14.95 for 1 year so if you get it today it would not cover your next trip.

my goodness, thank you!

Always ride Jungle Cruise before Pirates first, especially if rope dropping, is what I've always heard. Isn't JC a slow loader? The last time I was at MK, we did Adventureland in an hour and a half... JC, Pirates, Treehouse, Tiki Birds and even Aladdin, in that order!

Would you say JC before getting on HM? We should be right at HM at 8 after coming off Small World.

You know, both benefit from FPs, but JC loads a lot slower than HM, if I recall. However, you are right around the corner from HM if you are coming off Small World.
