How easy to find your way?

[ellmnop]

We are leaving for DL next Saturday and I'm getting worried about the little details. We are planning to do MM on Sunday and I would like to do Peter Pan first, but I'm not quite sure how to get there. I've looked at the map, I've looked at pictures from trip reports, but I don't have a good idea of the best way to get to Fantasyland. Do you go through the castle, or around the castle? Are there good marker signs to point the way?

Go right straight through the castle! It's the first ride on your right.

Don't forget to walk "right down the middle of Main Street U.S.A" first. Sorry, now that song is totally stuck in my head. . .

Walk thru the gates and under the train, walk straight down the middle of Main Street, thru the hub, past the "friends" statue (is that the name of it? lol) and straight across the drawbridge. PP is the first ride on the right, you will walk past the armory shop and there it is!

After just getting back, I think your idea of hitting PP first is very smart. We did all of the FL rides that we wanted and several of the TL rides before our hour was up. I think we counted 8 or 9 rides before the rest of the crowd showed up. I can't emphasize enough that it is really important to get those out of the way so you can pace yourself the rest of the day.

Peter Pan is my favorite ride! Have fun! "Come on everybody...here we go!!!!!" This week I'll be in the real London! My favorite part of the ride has always been flying over it at Disneyland...but to do it for real is awesome! The last time I was there, when we flew in, as we passed over the Thames, I could see all the sights out my window and I felt like I was on the ride!
