How do you think I could get done at rope drop

[Holeshot1982]

Will be doing rope drop and hope to be leaving the park around 11 to head back for lunch and rest.... Since most of what we are planning is fantasy land, I'm wondering how much we can get done from 9-11 without using any FP+

Peter Pan's Flight
Small World
Carousel
Philarmagic
Tea Cups
Little Mermaid
Brainstormer
Dumbo

The order I have them in is probably the order we will be going in... As of now, opening is 9AM, no EMH for that day, of course I know that's subject to change. What do you guys think?

I think 2 hours is probably a bit ambitious, but it kind of depends on the exact day you'll be there.

True, forgot to mention it will be Sunday December 6th.

Also depends on your party? If you have kids that will want to do the Dumbo queue area, then your list is fine.

If you don't have kids, I'd move Dumbo & Barnstormer up, but when we were there both topped out at 30 minutes. Peter Pan definitely needs to be first on the list. It'll be an hour wait if you don't. We had BOG 8am ressies, came out and rode PP with a 10 min wait. When we left the ride, it was already at 50 minutes. We then walked on Small World and then did Haunted Mansion & waited 30-40 minutes for Enchanted Tales with Belle. We didn't do Ariel, the carousel, philharmagic or the tea cups, so I'm no help there. We had a fast pass for 7DMT at 11am that we had to get in.

If you can get to Peter Pan at 9:00 you can ride that with about a 5 or 10 minute wait, then I would say you could ride Winnie the Pooh, Under the Sea, It's a Small World, Barnstormer and maybe Dumbo or Mickey's PhilharMagic. You wont be able to ride 7 Dwarfs without a fast pass unless you want to take most of your time. The wait time for 7 Dwarfs starts out about 45 minute wait at 9:00am Enchanted Tales with Belle has about a 15 minute wait at 9:00am and then goes up to about 20 minute wait at about 9:15

Here is some cheat sheets from easywdw. They may be able to help you figure out what you can get done better than I can. If you scroll clear down to the bottom it will give an idea of how long wait times will be in the mornings at MK. http://www.easywdw.com/cheatsheets/mk_cheatsheet_v3.pdf

I would move them around like this:

Peter Pan
Little Mermaid
Tea Cups
Carousel
Small World
Barnstormer
Dumbo
Philharmagic

This is a bit of backtracking but it's all in the general area. I'm thinking more about wait times than proximity. I think you could do this in 2 hours. Even if you wanted to keep your general order, consider moving Little Mermaid up the list and Philharmagic down.

 

[rwdavis2]

I would allow 3 hours which would be plenty of time to do all that. Depends on when you get to Philharmagic.

Using TouringPlans' personalized touring plan app, I did a plan for 12/6 with those attractions that gets you finished by 11:05 with no FP+. With FP+, it gets you out of there by 10:40. So it's doable under your time constraints.

I was just there on Sunday May 31st and we did our first Rope Drop at MK. We were there around 8:20 and they opened the gates around 8:40. We got all of this done with the exception of Peter Pan and the Carousel. Our order was:

Tea Cups
Barnstormer
Dumbo
Barnstormer
Tomorrowland Speedway
Little Mermaid
7DMT (FP+)
Mickey's Philarmagic
Small World
Haunted Mansion

We rode all of these by around 11:15am because by 11:30 we were in Frontierland for lunch.

I think Peter Pan may slow you down some because it seems to be a popular one at RD so it would depend on when you get there. All of our rides for the first 2.5 hours were walk-ons.

Very ambitious but can be done. I'd switch the order like this:
First set:
Peter Pan's Flight (always the longest wait. By far do this first)
Small World (only b/c right across from PPF)

Second Set (you can walk in a pattern to these three and knock them out)
Little Mermaid
Dumbo
Barnstormer

Third Set: (walk in a pattern from Barnstormer to these and these have the smallest wait so I'd keep them last)
Tea Cups
Carousel
Philarmagic

Def. can be done it all hinges on if you get on Peter Pan's Flight with an under 15 minute wait time, which if you do it first you should get that.

This is exactly how I would do it! We have done rope drop many times and have started in Frontierland with Splash and Big Thunder then hit the rides in this basic order but with a FP for Peter Pan (9-10 time FP time slot) and a FP for 7DMT (10-11 time slot). We have been able to slot the other rides in about that order around them. Usually the hardest is Philharmagic with time constraints only because it can take awhile if you miss just miss a show.

Last year on Wednesday, August 6th, rope drop at 9am til 11am (we had a lunch at BOG at 11), crowd level 9, a million degrees, we did:

Buzz Lightyear - walk on
Met Stitch - no wait, we were the only ones around
Space Mtn - walk on
Dumbo - walk on
SDMT with FP for 9:35 - 10:35, carried a red time card, waited maybe 10 minutes
Met Ariel in her grotto, waited maybe 10 minutes
Met Gaston, waited 15ish minutes (he wasn't out yet...might have been more like 20?? I don't know, I was standing in the shade and enjoying the sun break, lol)
It's a Small World, minimal wait, carried red time card, 10 or 15 minutes??
Peter Pan's Flight with FP for 10:40 - 11:40, walked right on with the FP

BOG lunch at 11am.

So I think you can do it. Starting with Peter Pan is definitely the best idea. I agree with @JimmyBean42 on the order.

Considering we aren't trying for 7DMT that pretty much mirrors our rides. Thanks

I like the way this looks. I think we'll go with that, thanks for tips
