I'm having trouble trying to plan out my first day!!! Please help!!

[jacobsmommy]

Here's what I know for sure for our first day (6/19): We are doing MM at DL, we have late breakfast ressie at Minnie's, and we have a Fantasmic dessert package set for 9:00 that evening. I am having a hard time trying to set which rides in an order and trying to estimate how long it'll take during a busy time.

Here's my plan so far: Magic morning (get there about 45 minutes before??)

Peter Pan
Dumbo
Matterhorn for dh and ds/carousel for me/dd
Alice
Mr. Toad
Pinocchio
Snow White
*FP volunteer go get FP for Star Tours
Storybook Land boats

****From this point on is where I'm stuck. Here are the other things I'd like to get done this day: POTC, Haunted Mansion, PFF, get a Splash FP, get an Indy FP, Jedi Academy, and maybe the parade at 6:30.

Our breakfast is sometime between 10:00 and 10:30 (I have to call and remind myself of the time). After breakfast we will probably hop at some point to DCA to get a Soarin FP, do Monsters Inc., Muppetvision, Animation Academy, and TT w/Crush.

Any advice on planning out our time after Magic Mornings?

Are you only going that one day? If not, that seems like a LOT to do in one day.

We will be there on June 19th, 20th, 21st and part of the 22nd. Of the things that I listed for after Magic Mornings, what can I realistically get done before our 10:20 breakfast time? I don't have anything planned for our last day yet, so whatever I don't get in on the first day can be shifted to that morning.

I think that that's very doable. If you really want to do Princess Fantasy Faire, I'd say go there after Storybookland because that line can be pretty lengthy.

Also I'd recommend getting the Splash FP before you hop and then saving it for later in the day when it gets warm. On warm days the Splash FPs will go faster than Indy.

Pirates and HM will have REALLY short lines in the morning and tolerable waits in the middle of the day (~30 min), so they can go anywhere.

Realistically after Storybookland, you'll be able to do Princess Fantasy Faire, HM OR PotC, and get a Splash FP before 10 probably.

Sounds like a really really good plan. I might just switch Storybookland and Buzz. Storybook's line gets to be a lot longer and slower moving than Buzz. Ride Buzz after IASW on your way to Star Tours.

well the reason why i put buzz before storyland was becuz from my understanding storyland and its a small world arent open on MM.
I assumed that my first 7 rides wouldnt take an hour to do, what do u think?. i figured if we still had time that i would shoot over to adventure land and get buzz and maybe nemo over with.

 

[DLR29]

The 7 FL rides may not take up the whole hour, and you might be able to get in Buzz, but not both Buzz and Nemo. Nemo, even in the morning, eats up at least 30 minutes from entrance to exit (15 min ride and a 15+ min line).

I thought that you were riding Buzz after MM ended because you put it after getting a ST FP, which you can't do until after MM. If you do have extra MM time, Buzz can be a good option.

I wasn't sure how long the 7 rides would take. Thanks! I will fit NEMO in after buzz before we head to toon town.
