I'm not sure how to approach this.....I've never seen a schedule come down to actual times (you must be using a ride program??)

When are you going?? Depending on how busy it is will affect if this is even possible.

TSMM we've seen wait times from 30-90 minutes. This is a ride that people run to as soon as the gates are open. We've headed there first (we didn't run) & still had over a 30 minute wait last summer. When we went early March in the afternoon, we had a 30 minute wait (and the parks weren't busy at all)

You can pick up a FP for WoC anytime & if it's busy....I don't think you'd want to wait till late afternoon to get them. Unless going to the last show of the night is ok for you.

You'll also have a wait for the Aladdin show.....people line up an hour or more to get in.....you don't have to wait that long, but you won't get much choice of where you sit.

Hopefully someone with more experience with the ride programs will chime in. We've never used one & never needed one. We find getting to the parks prior to opening, grabbing a FP for one of the bigger rides & then hitting our favs in the first couple hours has never failed us (and we've been during 2 spring breaks/Easter, summertime & the 50th Anniversary/4th of July week). We gather FP's early in the day, ride what we want, have lunch, take a break, come back & start using the FP's we gathered, take in entertainment & hit the rides late in the evening.

Good luck with your plans!!

Looks pretty good. I'd just watch you watch. JC POTC and HM are fairly long rides with no wait. To get to the DCA opening be careful and consider HM for later.

The WoC fast pass should be done first or right after TSMM. It's not connected to other FPs so won't interupt your plan for collection. Not that it has to be done early but I wouldn't count on ther being FPs left at 2pm. You can have someone pick them up between 9:30am and the 10am rope drop to TSMM.

Were planning on doing disneyland 2 days on its own , This will be our first day would you suggest just starting off easy by not going to disneyland in the morning? I just added it to get a few rides out of the way .

 

[Dobie]

I would get my FP for Indy and then ride it, then do the other things on the list, and save my Indy FP for evening.

Oh no. I almost always hit DL first because it usually opens first. Sometime go right to Space+ Space FP for later and Buzz or go left and do the same as you have planned, but if lucky get a Splash FP also. Of course splash is currently down and I'm not sure when your trip is. Though sometimes going left I do Indy FP then ride Indy and then do either POTC or JC. In any case I almost always hop over to DCA for it's opening to get Soarin and TSMM in the morning.

 

[NavyDad01]

We were originally going June 3rd Disneyland, 6/6 Disney California , 6/8 Disneyland but we switched it to . 6/2 Dissney California 6/6 Disneyland 6/8 Disneyland. So you guys think I should Fp Space mountain first ? What about star tour will they have fast passes?

 

[DLtorgo]

I would do what you are doing- have one morning where you start with the Indy side of the park and then another morning where you will start with the Tomorrowland side. If you can get up early all your days I always start at DL and ride a few rides before I hope over to DCA for that opening.

Star Tours will have fast pass. The machines are across from Star Tours in front of Buzz Lightyear. Who knows how fast they will run out or what kind of strategy to use since it will be so new.

Are you using one morning to do your MM in Fantasyland?

1. I wouldn't specifically say that one day should be devoted to one park. Definitely go to both parks on all 3 days.

2. Space Mountain's FP is the quickest to go CURRENTLY; however, Star Tours will have FP and when it opens, its FP will certainly be the first ones running out.

3. You should get your Soarin and WoC FP before riding Toy Story.

 

[NavyDad01]

I just realized star tours wont be open on the 6/2 so I wont worry about that . So then the census here is either stick to my plan or do the space mountain area first. I think my plan would be more effective seeing is how we will have a big group and less to travel doing the adventure land area .

Also get FP for world of color and soaring before riding TSM which I can get at 9:30am correct ?

 

[NavyDad01]

As far as the other two days I was thinking of just doing disneyland so we dont have to be going park to park but my spouse says their fairly close to each other that its not like WDW.

 

[NavyDad01]

If I get a fastpass at 8am right when Disneyland opens when do you guys think I will be able to get another fastpass?

 

[DisneyMomma81]

Your spouse is right, hopping at DLR is super easy, there's really no reason you shouldn't visit both parks each day.

 

[ArchOwl]

If I get a fastpass at 8am right when Disneyland opens when do you guys think I will be able to get another fastpass?

If you are at the FP machine right at 8am, you usually will be able to get another FP at 8:50am. This is of course in general, not taking into account the Star Tours craziness. When Star Tours opens, I expect the FPs will be significantly delayed for it.

I'm not worried about star tours this day because it wont be open. I was thinking about sticking to my original post but grabbing another FP before leaving Disneyland. If so which Should I get ?

 

[skiingfast]

That is correct. 9:30am Soarin and its FP distribution open.

If I get a fastpass at 8am right when Disneyland opens when do you guys think I will be able to get another fastpass?

It's a little tough to say but 45 minutes later is a good guess. It depends bit but if you are going to space or Indy first the return windows gets later and later quickly.

Space Mountain or Splash Mountain are both good ones to grab early in the day. I am not sure you need to leave Disneyland so early. There is little to no advantage to getting to DCA at rope drop. Lines for Toy Story will be pretty consistent throughout the day unless you are one of the very first to cycle through. I would stay in Disneyland until noon or so. By then I would hope to have FPs for Space, Splash, Indy, and BTMRR (maybe Roger Rabbit because it is disconnected). While collecting FPs, ride other rides and have a late breakfast/early lunch.

Hop to DCA around noon, grab Soarin FP on your way to Paradise Pier.
Then grab WOC FP
Redwood Challenge Trail
Toy Story
Mickey's Fun Wheel or Silly Symphony Swings or both
Grab Screamin FP
Then head over to Aladdin (if it is playing that day)
If no Aladdin, then Muppets, Monsters, and Animation Bldg
Grab Tower of Terror FP or send runner over to Grizzly River Rapids

Now it depends on what you want to do the rest of the day. You can hop to Disneyland and use your FPs or stay in DCA and start using your FPs. Up to you. You could also take a break at the hotel (if that is an option) and come back to DCA, have dinner, use FPs, watch WOC, hop back to Dland and use FPs. It really just depends.

I like this but what touring would you suggest in the morning ?

 

[ArchOwl]

I like this but what touring would you suggest in the morning ?

Well, you could play around in Ridemax and possibly adjust the order, but maybe something like this...

8am Space FP
Buzz
Matterhorn
Perhaps one Fantasyland ride?? Mr. Toad? or go to Frontierland and do BTMRR


Indy FP (8:50)

Jungle Cruise
Pirates
Tarzan Treehouse?
Haunted Mansion

Splash FP (10am)

Winnie the Pooh
ToonTown depending on age of people going
Get Roger Rabbit FP (disconnected)
Gadget Go Coaster
Mickey/Minnie house/treehouse, etc.
Small World

Around 11:30, eat to avoid lunch rush

At noon pick up last FP (BTMRR or repeat another)

Now you have Space, Indy, Splash, Roger Rabbit, and BTMRR or other

Now you can hop to DCA. Of course, if you aren't interested in the rides above, substitute your own. Run it through Ridemax to double check the order. I may have sacrificed some waiting time to stay in the same area.

Hope that helps!
