Making Good decisions

[okduke]

Will be at WDW during the free dining. Our trip includes 4 full days and significant portions of two more . . . our plane gets there early on one and leaves late on another. We are staying at the BWV and do not expect to leave the Disney property. We will be pushing it to do as much as we can at the four major parks during our 6 days. But we know that we'll have to make some decisions about NOT doing certain things. So, that's my question. Based on your experience, what should we not worry about seeing. For instance, I've seen so much feedback about the Stitch ride or the car races at MK that I can easily skip them. Are there others that you feel that way about? Thanks.

I'll never waste my time again on the Motor Car Action show at MGM Studios. Loud, boring. At MK we don't do Stitch in Tomorrowland. After the deaths connected to Mission Space, we won't be doing it in Epcot (although it was ok). It's a Bugs Life in AK was ok, but if I was pressed for time, I'd miss it.

Gosh we had the opposite reaction... Lights Motors Action was the highlight of our day at Disney-MGM Studios.

​

Here's what I'd skip at each park (assuming you're just like us -- you didn't describe your family in your OP):

Magic Kingdom: Swiss Family Treehouse, The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Jungle Cruise, Tom Sawyer Island, Toontown, Fantasyland except for Philharmagic and maybe Pooh, Tomorrowland Speedway, Stitch's Great Escape, Astro Orbiter.

Epcot: Ellen's Energy Adventure (it is too long if you're strapped for time), Wonders of Life (no worries there -- it's typically closed anyway).

Disney-MGM Studios: Millionaire, Playhouse Disney, One Man's Dream, Honey I Shrunk ... Playground, Backlot Tour, Sounds Dangerous.

Animal Kingdom: Rafiki's Planet Watch, Flights of Wonder, Boneyard.

Since you will be staying "on property" definitely make use of the morning EMH particularly at the Magic Kingdom. Lots of people like to "sleep in" because they are on vacation!

And you know what the say about the early bird... he catches Buzz twice, Gran Prix Raceway, Teacups twice, Mickey's Philharmagic, Peter Pan, Small World, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder twice, Haunted Mansion and two stops for snacks before Noon. We would have done Pirates too just before we left the MK, but it was closed due to technical difficulties. And this was Easter weekend when the parks were crowded. Oh I forgot "Dumbo". We did that, too. Probably the very last time my little boy will ask if dad will go on Dumbo with him Just remembered we did Space Mountain, too. It was the first time our whole family was able to ride (kids tall enough) Space Mt together. Boy we did alot that morning!

So make your mantra "Get there early, stay late, and take a break in the midle of the day." Have a great vacation!
