If MK is at a crowd level of 3...

Working on the always complicated fastpass plans and hoping someone can advise me! If the Touring Plans website predicts that Magic Kingdom is at a 3 and we are already inside the park at rope drop (early reservation at CP), is it reasonable to hope to do Peter Pan's Flight, BTMR and SM within the first hour and a half without fastpasses? We're hopping to Epcot around 11am and I would rather use the fastpasses there.
 
You could probably do it but you are trying to do rides that are complete opposite sides of the park form each other. It would mean you do nothing else while going between the 3.
 
Other than a lot of walking, I think you are fine doing that. Do Peter Pan first though, then Space Mountain, then BTTMR. You could probably hop on something else too before you need to leave, so Splash or POTC are on that side.
 
Are you doing express transportation? If so, do Peter Pan, BTMR and then Space as the pick up point is in Tomorrowland.
 

I put absolutely zero stock in crowd calendars, so there's that, but I understand what you're saying. Even if the park isn't that crowded, I think you may be able to do it, but it's a lot of walking as already said. I agree with the plan BrianL outlined.

That's a good point. Space builds a line faster than BTMR in my opinion, but the difference would be negligible.

With a PPO at CP, you'll be at a disadvantage by the time you finish with breakfast. The crowds will already be AT the ropes, and you'll be behind them. As others have said, Peter Pan needs to be your first stop. The majority of the crowd will be heading to 7DMT, but you won't be first on PP. Just know you'll probably have more of a wait than you used to with PPO at CP.

Still, you should have no problem finishing all three by 11:00 without a FP+.
 
@samara - does "SM" mean Splash Mountain or Space Mountain in this context?

If it looks like you'll leave your CP breakfast slight after park opening, I suggest re-optimizing your touring plan before heading off to your first attraction. Re-optimizing will tell you whether the lines at those 3 attractions are actually shaping up the way they were predicted to. If they have, your plan won't change. If lines look different, another course of action might be recommended.
 
Sorry - SP does mean Space Mountain. Sadly, I think Splash will be closed during my trip:-(

Thanks so much to everyone for the help! It sounds like I can safely save my fastpasses for Epcot!
