knocking out Fantasy land 2 hours into Rope Drop

[horse11]

We are planning of doing a MK day in mid may and arriving at RD. Should our first ride be Under the Sea or Peter Pan? Would it be possible to do Peter Pan, Under the Sea, Haunted Mansion, It's a small world , and Winnie the Pooh all by 11:00am if we arrive 45 minutes before RD? We would like to save our FP+ for afternoon if possible in another MK land.

I would do:
Peter Pan
Pooh
IASW
Under the Sea
Haunted Mansion

Or, if you don't mind walking back and forth, HM can be done before IASW and Under the Sea.

So with this plan would it be very possible to get them all in by 11:00am? Mk opens at 9:00 but we plan on getting there 30 to 45 minutes before opening. We could also use a FP+ for one of them but I was not sure if that would be a waste for a morning ride time or if it could help a lot. Also is this a lot of walking or pretty manageable? My parents who are in their very late 60's in our group. They are pretty active but I know 5 days back to back parks will be some what hard on them.

This. You can totally pull this off. Personally, I would do UTS before IASW, just because IASW is on your way to HM. I wouldn't use FP+ for any of those. I would save those to park hop later in the day, if that is in your plan.

Yes, you can get them in. You can always leave HM for last and save it for later as it is usually a walk-on in the early evening...it was last week during Pres Week.

You guys are fantastic!!! Thanks so much!!!

 

[It'sWDW4me]

I did all of these except Pooh before 10:30 in mid-July. Plus Storytime with Belle (or whatever it's called) and a second ride of Under the Sea. You will have absolutely no problem with this plan in mid-May.

Assume!!! That is very reasurring. Thanks!!!

We have done all of those and more in a two hour period at rope drop before. Do PP first....then I would do Winnie the Pooh...the rest I would not worry about the order. We go during our spring break in April and always can get a lot accomplished before 11:00 at MK.

I agree do Peter Pan first. They are fairly close together so should be fine getting them all in as long as none have 'technical difficulties'.

We hit rope drop yesterday (3/1 at 9:00am) and did:

Peter Pan
Pooh
Tea Cups
Dumbo
Barnstormer
Little Mermaid

When we were walking out of LM, I looked at my watch and it was 10:27am.

Flip flop IASW and UtS as the SW boat ride is about 15 or so minutes long allowing crowd to build elsewhere.

You can definitely do this. Do Peter pan first, then pooh or IASW. Leave LM or HM for the end. We did Dumbo twice, barnstormer, Little mermaid, teacups, Pooh, PP (FP for this) and HM all by 11:15 during presidents week, and while we were there at rope drop we were in the back of the crowd by the turnstiles. I don't have girls so no princess meet and greets which take a lot of time, but I think doing fantasyland first is a good strategy.

For sure. We can usually do ALL of fantasyland in the first 2 hours. I would do your rides in the following order if it were me:

-Peter Pan
-Winnie the Pooh
-Under the Sea
-Small World
-Haunted Mansion

I would think you'd be done no later than 10:30. Have fun!

Yes, and yes! This is definitely the way to go. And using your smartphone to check wait times, on your way over to HM, check to see what the standby wait time is at BTMRR. If it isn't too bad, go there before heading to HM.

I like the ride sequences suggested.

I have a further question though.
Where should we head after all these Fantasyland rides? Assuming it is about 11am, should we better head to Tomorrowland or Adventureland?

I gues it depends on if you plan on spending one day or two days in the park. It will also depend on where you want to use your FP+. All I can tell is for us we plan on a two days at MK. Our first day is an early day but we have to leave by 4:00pm. We decided to do Tomorrowland in the afternoon since we want to save one of our FP+ for the 3:00 pm parade. This way we should be able to do Stich and Monsters Inc on stand by and use our FP+ for Buzz and maybe Speedway. We only have a short amount of time in the afternoon and we still should be able to knock out Tomorrowland. For us there seems to be a lot to do in Adventurland and Frontier Land so we are saving that for our second day.
