Help me plan our MK day

[daisy2000]

I need help planning our MK day during the busy February Pres. day week. Although we've been so many times, we never seem to be able to fit everything in and I usually end up sacrificing my favorites for what my teens want to do. Anyway, here are our must do's:

Afternoon parade
Spectromagic
Wishes
Space Mtn
Stitch
Peter Pan
Small World
Mickey's Philharmagic
Pirates
Haunted Mansion
Splash Mtn
Big Thunder

Also, we have a dinner reservation at 4:30 in the castle.

My suggestion would be to start at Splash Mtn (unless it is unusually cold), then to BTMRR, and Haunted Mansion. If your there at opening this should be really fast. Then you could go to Fantasyland. Check wait times and whichever is longest (Philhar. or Peter Pan), get the fast pass, then see the other. Small world is under refurbishment. Use your fastpass, head for Tomorrowland. Get a FP for Space Mtn, then check out Stitch, grab a snack and take a little break. I would recommend doing Buzz Lightyear (my teens still love this). Next, it may be time to stake out your parade spot, or head to Adventureland for Pirates. After the Parade you can do Pirates if you haven't already or just check out the area before your 4:30 ressies. You should have lots of time after dinner to revisit something or do a few things on your 'B' list before wishes. I think the most important key, however, it to be there early, and hit some of the hottest or slowest loading attractions right away. Good luck.

Good advice...
when we go we do the rides that fill up the quickest,later. We do Peter Pan first, those kinds, and then during parade times we do Space Mt. and Haunted Mansion,and have no wait time! Good luck

Snowmouse - I loved your suggestions - I printed them off for my trip next week. It sounds perfect for our upcoming day in MK.

One other suggestion: Make sure you note which days of the week are Extra Magic Hour days. If you are staying onsite you will want to take advantage, if you are staying offsite you might want to avoid MK on those days.

Normally Wed nites and Friday mornings are EMH at MK, but be sure and check the schedule because if your going the week of the 13th, that does not hold true.

I definitly agree with doing the bigger rides first. Reason being is because people (like me ) go straight to Fantasyland first. This way, if you do the big rides first, you will hopefully not have to wait as long. Afterwards, I would hit the rides that lead back to the castle.

In case you didn't know, the afternoon parade hasn't changed - so if you don't want to see the same parade again, you may want to hit Tomorrowland during that time

Have fun!!
