My boyfriend and I have a trip planed for June 3-7, we're staying at the Dolphin and looking to hit all 4 parks in 2 days. I know that's a tall task, but we have a pretty set idea on what exactly we'd like to do. If anyone has ever been in June before, or been to DW during the pandemic peak crowd the last few weeks, could help, that'd be greatly appreciated.

Friday June 4
Hollywood Studios
- Planning to rope drop, walking over from the Dolphin about 60-90mins prior to listed park opening
- Must do attractions: ToT, RnRC, Star Tours, Smugglers, TSM, and MMRR (RoTR if we get a BG)
- Is it possible to get these done from rope drop to Noon?

1-4p Pool time at Dolphin

Epcot
- Aiming to arrive around 5pm (hoping for a 9 or 10pm closing)
- Must do attractions: Spaceship Earth, TT, Soarin, Ratatouille (if open), and Living With The Land
- Any TS restaurants in Epcot have advance reservations for around closing?

Sunday June 6
Animal Kingdom
- Rope drop
- Must do attractions: FOP, Dinosaur, Everest, Kali, and Kilimanjaro
- Leave around 11-12

1-4p Pool time at Dolphin

Magic Kingdom
- Arriving around 5pm
- Must do attractions: POTC, HM, BTMRR, Splash, Space, and 7D
 
Sounds like a fun plan.

are you skipping slinky dog in DHS? Didn’t see it on your plan.

if official park opening is still 9, I’d say definitely start walking by 730 latest. You don’t want to get too far back for the initial rope drop line. For our DHS day, we drove in, so were second wave in after the people that walked. We were able to get on mmrr, sdd, tsm, as2 and rise by 10:30. We were off rise at 11 though, so if you took the same route, you’d like only have time for 1 of the other 3, mfsr, ToT or RnRC.

however, we spent about 20 minutes in line at sdd, (everything else was walk on) so if you skipped that and went straight for tsm, then depending on when your boarding group was, if a low number, hit smugglers run and hope your BG is called by the time you’re done there If it’s a bit higher, head to tot and rnrc and go for shorter line first.

for Epcot, I’d expect initial closing time to be 8, but then extended to 10 or 11. Look at closing times through March with Spring Break crowds! Not sure you’d want to take an adr with a closing that late, but as long as the parks are open, the restaurants will be too. Looks like you’re not too demanding of rides. I would expect you should at least get on all those.

For AK, get there for rope drop and you should be able to ride everything by 10-1030. Start in Pandora and hopefully you’ll be through both before lines form and also before the rest of the attractions get backed up.

MK, you might be a little ambitious on all the rides. Each of the rides could easily take an hour between walking, waiting, riding, etc. if the park is open til 10, it might work, but if it closes at 9, I’d probably want to get there by 4 if at all possible, just to ensure you have an hour to spare per ride.

I’d keep an eye on ride times during March as they should be a good indicator of what to expect in early June. Overall, it sounds like a lot of fun, racing around each park with just 2 parks days. Happy planning!

Thank you sooo much!

Correct, we planned on skipping SDD, went on it last time and I didn't get the hype? We're trying to aim for a really chill trip, it's the first time I've planned a trip that has built in pool time so I'm excited about that!

I agree with you on slinky dog. I wouldn’t wait in line for it. I feel the same about seven dwarfs.
 

Just a little feedback about your first day. Unfortunately, I don’t think you’ll be able to get all five rides done before noon at HS. We were at HS on Thursday 2/11 and walked over from BWV where we were staying, so we were only about 25 people back from the very front of the line (started walking down around 7:25). They let us in at 8:15.

We walked to Toystoryland and did SDD (no wait) and then TSMM (no wait). By the time we were finished, it was 8:50 and the crowds were rushing in. Walked down to TOT, where it was an actual 20 minute wait and by the time we were done (9:30ish) TOT, RNR, MF, MRR, SDD were all at a 40-90 minute wait.

We ended up walking over, waiting 20 minutes for and riding Star Tours, looking in some stores, doing ROTR, and it was 11:45am.

Take a look at the wait times between 9:30-11:30am at HS through the latter half of March to see what the wait times look in the morning. I think you can have a great day (we did!), you just might have to prioritize.
