I'm really not good at estimating time,

[Graciegirl5]

so, I was wondering if you all could help me out. The cast is myself, DH, DS17, DD14, DS12. We are not very familiar with the parks. We were there for a short trip last year, but not long enough to really learn our way around. We will be going to MK on 11/19, crowd level 2, most recommended park. We have another day scheduled there as well as an MVMCP and an additional evening. On the 19th we plan to be at rope drop and are concentrating on Fantasyland. We do not need 7DMT or A&E because we have FP+ for them later in the week. Oh, and the park opens at 9:00.

Our FPs are 10:50-11:50 Pooh, 11:55-12:55 PP, and 12:55-1:25 IASW. The attractions we'd like to hit are PP, IASW (can skip this),meet Merida, teacups, Dumbo, Barnstormer, and Under the Sea before our first FP expires. Is this even possible? I wasn't sure how fast Merida's line would build up, but my daughter wants to meet her. Thank you for any suggestions!

If the crowd level is really a 2, you can do a whole lot more than that list in the same amount of time if your goal is to jump attraction to attraction. It's really dependent on the crowd and where in the park they all are on that day. It's impossible to plan the place down to the minute so just assume you'll probably get it all done but you might not. You mentioned multiple days and a party in mk, I'm sure when your vacation is done, you'll be really happy that you did all your rides and a bunch you did just because you were there and it sounded fun at the moment.

Totally do-able. You're doing rope drop on a recommended park day -- good plan.

Merida should be first at RD, followed by Journey of the LM and possibly even Enchanted Tales with Belle, then a walk to Teacups followed by your Circus attractions (Barnstormer and Dumbo). That is all achievable before 11-11:15am I'd say. Use your Winnie the Pooh FP+, then a Carousel ride or even Philharmagic...before your PPF FP+. I'd grab a quick snack or restroom break and then do iaSW using your FP+. Fantasyland complete.

Thank you. I wanted to make sure I wasn't making such a rigid schedule that we couldn't enjoy just looking around. We are very excited to have a longer trip this time and will have a lot of fun.

Thank you for the suggestions. One question, I wanted to ride PP twice because my youngest wants to go through the standby line and we all enjoy it. Would it be ok to go to PP first and then Merida? We actually have FPs for EtwB later in the week, so we're good there. Thanks for the other suggestions. It sounds like we can do it all (on my list) and still enjoy looking around.

You could do PPF first and then Merida, but the M&G's tend to build lines quickly...

If you can be in the first 10 for Merida, that still gives you plenty of time to get to PPF before the folks getting off 7DMT, and the que starts to build up and FP+ users start showing up.

Anyone else have some real experience with this sort of plan? I've done it this way, but pre FP+ and 7DMT.

I think as long as you formulate a plan and have priorities -- all will be well.

Thank you. We'll probably meet Merida first. Since we have a FP for PP, we can skip it if the line has gotten too long. Merida's meet starts at 9:15, so that should work out well to stop there first.
