Help with a 1day MK plan when we usually have 2 days

[disneyandme]

This is the first time we are looking to go in June and we will only have one day at MK (we usually have 2). We would like to go on:
Peter Pan- twice if possible
Pooh
Dumbo
Ariel ride
Small World
Haunted Mansion
Philharmagic
Buzz
Carousel
If possible:
Pirates
Aladdin
Belle's storytime
Some character meets
I'm thinking: we do rope drop and hit Peter Pan, Pooh, Dumbo, Ariel, and Small World before lunch. Is this possible in June? After lunch hit Carousel and Philharmagic. Then take a break. Come back for dinner and do FP for Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan , and one other in the evening.
Could this work in June? Would it better to do the FP earlier and hope to add more FP for later? Help!

I don't know specifically about June, but I would try and get your morning list done, PP first of course, then Pooh and Ariel, then IASW, and Dumbo last, as there are two now so less waiting. I know you'd like to do PP again, but if you want to do most of your list, I would FP HM, Buzz, and POC. I think Carousel and Philharmagic will be fine, and Aladdin is usually not bad. Instead of leaving to take a break, maybe you relax on the people mover, or take a seat in the Hall of Presidents. This might give you a chance to get in a few more things, unless it's very hot/crowded, and you see it's best to leave for a little while. Maybe make one FP earlier in the day around lunch, and the other two around dinner, so you might have a shot at a fourth later in the evening. If you can get any of your FP rides in earlier in the day if lines are short, then you can swap that one for another. If you are staying on property, and there are EMH hrs., you can do a lot more in the early a.m., and sometimes late at nt. You can also try and jump on rides when parades/fireworks are going if you don't care about seeing them, since many people gravitate there, and some lines get shorter at those times.

I don't think you'll have any trouble doing those first five attractions (without much wait for any of them) before lunch.

So I think it's best to save your FP+ for the evening. But I think you will want them for Pirates and Belle (in addition to Haunted Mansion), so that would mean doing Peter Pan only once. If you have to do Peter Pan twice, however, then I would recommend FP+ for it rather than for Pirates.

Buzz wait could be long in the evening, so you might try to squeeze it in before lunch also.

We had one day at MK last June. I don't know what the hours are the day you are going, but the park opened at 8am the day we went. Before lunch we did: Peter Pan, met Ariel, little mermaid ride, Winnie the pooh, met Alice, IASW, met Merida, met chip and Dale, met Tiana, and haunted mansion (fp). And then we still had time to kill before our 1:10 ADR. So even if you have a 9am opening and eat lunch earlier than we did, I think you will have no problem getting everything on your list done.

For a 9 AM opening, be there at 8:15. There is a chance that you will have to wait a couple of minutes for PP to start. You could potentially be off of Pooh by 9:20. So many people will be heading to Seven Dwarfs and Anna and Elsa, that lines will be fairly short the the first 20-30 minutes.

One thing to consider, if there is a second parade or you do not want to see the parade; is that Dumbo, Under the Sea, Enchanted Tales with Belle and IASW, have short lines after 9 PM or so. That doesn't work for some families

Here is a suggested one day touring plan from easywdw.com. You will need to scroll down a little. The owner of the site periodically follows his touring plan to make sure the timing works. You will see that it starts out with your initial thoughts but deviates to Adventureland shortly after PP and Pooh. You could skip Splash and BTMRR and head to Pirates and Aladdin as an alternative.

We went in June this year. One of our MK days, we went straight to PP from rope drop and managed to be the first on. We got to ride the carousel, small world, meet Ariel, Winnie the Pooh, and rode little mermaid all before our first FP of Enchanted tales with belle.
