We are coming to DL with our 3 and 5 year old daughters in a couple weeks, and had some questions. We came in August before, but had different amounts of time and priorities. We are interested in princesses, characters, and tame rides. We are staying on site and doing a 3 day park hopper, and the park will open at 8am each day (with EMH at 7).
For our early entry DL day, we will try getting to Peter Pan (planning to get to gates about 6:30), and have on our early list Dumbo, Alice, and possibly Casey Jr. We would like to go to see the princesses at Fantasy Faire, but wasn't sure the best timing (last year we did Ariel's Grotto, so we didn't have to factor this in). Are princesses open during EMH? Should we get there before 8? Otherwise is it best to get there the first hour of park opening, or later? We want to be at the opening of Toontown (which I think will be 9am? Can someone confirm?) and first to get to Mickey. Then after Toontown Small World, unless we were able to fit it in before.
The other things we would like to try to fit in are the Canal boats and possibly Autopia, as we haven't done those before. I'm not sure whether it is better to hit the boats at 8 or be at the princesses then. If we got a fast pass for Autopia in the morning, would we be able to get a time around lunch? We also want to grab a FP at some point to see the Royal Theater show at 11:55 (otherwise we could do the 1:00 show).
Ideally, we would like to get all of the above done, have a quick lunch, catch the show, and then slowly make our way back to the hotel for a rest.
For our EMH at CA we were going to go to Toy Story first (haven't done that yet, will little girls like it?). Our other priorities will be Anna and Elsa, Olaf, Soarin, and Monsters. We might try to get some of this done our very first day of arrival, but we leave that day more to chance. Are A and E or Olaf open during EMH? Is there a need to see them right at opening, or can you see them later in the day with minimal wait or fast passes? Our goal on this day is to get back to DL as close to opening to be able to meet Tinkerbell and do Jungle Cruise without crazy lines.
Sorry for the long post, but I appreciate any help! Thanks!
