If you had just one day...

[cap'njack.]

...in DLRP what would you do/see?

My day would be like this:

Be at the opening of the Studio's Park and run like crazy for Crush's Coaster, then use fast pass on both Tower of Terror and Rock'n'Roller Coaster. I'd also do Stitch Live! in English and finally CineMagique.

This would then end my time in the studio's, in a single day time would be at a premium, therefore I'd skip the rest of the Studios park as the Disneyland Park would offer better value for money. Depending on the time, it would either be Annette’s Diner or Casey's Hotdogs for a quick spot of lunch.

In the Disneyland Park, I'd attempt to make the best use of the time. This I'd imagine would be done by going clockwise around the park, starting (obviously) on Main Street, then to Frontierland, etc.

Starting off in Main Street, I'd head straight down the Arcade, simply because they are not found in any other park and they would help to beat any traffic on Main Street, straight into Frontierland and to the fast pass section of Big Thunder Mountain, on to the Phantom Manor. Hopefully after Phantom Manor it would be time for the Big Thunder Mountain fast pass. After this it would be on to Indian Jones.

After two fast rides in a row it's time for something a bit more leisurely and a stroll through Adventure Isle and then on towards Pirates of the Caribbean. After leaving Pirates it's time to collect a fast pass for Peter Pan and then on through Alice's Labyrinth to It's a Small World. Back to Peter Pan in time for the fast pass and now on to Discoveryland via Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant. In Discoveryland it's Space Mountain M2 for me and then onto Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast (mainly because I haven't done this one)

Finally back to Main Street, if there is a Main Street Vehicle waiting then jump on, if not a final leisurely stroll up Main Street, jumping on the Train if there is any time left in the day for a final view of the park before leaving.

Thoughts anyone??

Good question!!

For me personally, I'd boycot the Studios for the most part because there isn't a lot I could go on. I would probably try and be there for the Good Morning Disney Studios parade!

I'd then head for the Disneyland Park and head straight for the Castle and take loads of photos, and hot foot it into Fantasyland and go on Peter Pan's Flight, Casey Jnr, The Storybook Boats, and Small World (It sounds like a lot, but the middle two are usually walk-ons...). Then it would be straight over to Discoveryland for a go on Buzz Lightyears Laser Blast.

Then I'd come out of the parks and go into the village for lunch at Cafe Mickey- Which, for me, is the most Disney thing that can be done!! (If you have to twist my arm I could even tell you what I'd order!! A Mr. Smee cocktail, Minnie's carbonara, and garlic cheesebread.....).....

Then, after lots of cuddles and kisses from the characters I'd head for a little walk around Lake Disney to let my dinner down, and then head straight back into the main park and go on Pirates of the Carribean, and then head round to Frontierland and go on Phantom Manor and Big Thunder Mountain.

Then I'd find myself a good Parade spot, and sit there with a soft drink and see the parade!

Then I'd more than likely try and hot foot back to Pirates of the Carribean for another go!!

Then I'd head for the Boardwalk Candy Palace and buy some fudge to take home, and have a little wander round the park, soaking up the atmosphere. Then head for Disney Village, grab a takeaway from Annettes and go and sit next to Lake Disney to eat it. I would then probably head back to the Village and make Robert buy me a big soft toy!! Lol!

Oooo, I crammed a lot into my day!! Lol!!

I would stroll through the park and take in the atmosphere. i would do a ride as long as there are no queues. we dont do them!

 

[Emergency Kitten]

BTM; Pirates; Indy; Star Tours; Buzz; ToT; RnRC; Crush.... and repeat as many times as is possible. Carousel; Riverboat; Dumbo; Teacups; PM; most of Fantasyland and the other stuff in Studios - once is enough but we'd do them anyway.

At some point during this endless day we would have morning coffee in Frontierland, eat lunch at Casey's Corner; get cookies and hot choc from the cookie place mid afternoon; have dinner at the California Grill.

Characters, parades, shops, shows - I can take or leave! We do 'do' them but then again we're there for 3/4 days, in my one single day I'd do rides rides and then more rides.

get cookies and hot choc from the cookie place

wheres the cookie place? i love cookies when on hols at disney but ive never seen any in DLP...........help?

 

[Emergency Kitten]

Towards the end of Main St, on the left hand side as you look at the Castle. Can't remember the name of it - maybe something Street Bake House or similar?

They have a little window out on to Main Street or you can get at it via the arcade on the other side.

That's the one - Cable Car bake shop. I was nearly right - obviously thinking of a Street Car (named desire?!)

Yummy hot choc from there too; has got me through many a cold wait for a parade.

on our previous 2 trips ( day trips ) the main do's for us were Lion King show,POTC and Buzz ! oh and cars the last time

anything else was a bonus

we actually got loads done! was a looooooooooong day but so worth it
did character meal last time so we didnt "waste" time queuing to see characters

looking forward to spending longer there, this time though and sampling more restaurants / cocktails
