Help with our plans

[Jairy]

We arrive in Disney on Saturday May 14. We are just choosing to eat in DTD and enjoy the pool at our hotel.

We have a 3 day park hopper pass for the 15, 16 and 17th, which gives us one magic morning. Since we are there Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, we can only use the magic morning on the Tuesday in DL. But on Sunday and Monday, the early entry is for DCA! So that puts us behind the crowds on both those days!

Would you skip using your magic morning because of this and hit DCA on the Tuesday when there is no extra magic hour? We love all the rides at DCA and would hate to miss any due to super long lines. What time are the fast passes for RSR depleted by?

We stayed off site so we did not have the Magic Morning at all during our stay. We arrived at each park when they opened and used our Magic Morning in DL for a few hours then went over to DCA (after the resort guests had entered early) and we were able to acquire a fast pass for RSR that was a few hours from when we entered the park. They usually run out by lunch time. We also went on the ride at night and did the single rider line (probably waited 45 minutes) however we heard the lines got up to 2 hours at times. The ride is very different at night than during the day. I would go to DL for the Magic morning and hit a few rides that get REALLY crowded (Peter Pan or Space Mountain) then head over to DCA. Hope that helps! We were really hustling on our trip but rode everything we wanted to at least once and most rides twice during our 3 day trip.

I would not skip my MM. You'll still be able to get a FP for RSR and so really it's TSMM you are going to have to wait for. The rest are all doable.

Thanks for that! And we are not that determined to go on TSMM as we have done it a few times before. I just know the last time we went, we stayed on property on rode California Screaming 3 times in a row with our early entry. We are a little sad that DCA will already be crowded when we arrive.

I'm glad to hear you did everything in your 3 days. We have been twice before with 5 day hoppers and early entry and felt like that was a lot of time. I'm a bit panicked that we won't get everything done in 3 days.

If it opens earlier one day that the other (for example on Fridays sometimes an hour earlier) go that day. Less people get their butts out of bed.

Magic mornings can be crazy crowded. We havent used them too much since our kids were tiny, and they adored Toon Town.
