MK FP+ plan

[mastermind307]

I have 2 different MK plans and I'm unsure of which one will work best. My FP window opens on Aug. 11 so I'm trying to figure it out before then.

Option 1
Crystal Palace 8:05
Jungle Cruise
Pirates
BTMRR
Haunted Mansion
Peter Pan (use FP)
Pooh
Dumbo
Under the Sea (use FP)
7DMT (use FP)
Snack at Sleepy Hallow
Liberty River Boat
Tom Sawyer Island
Tree House
Country Bears
Mickey's Philharmagic
Carrousel
BOG 5:05



Option 2
Crystal Palace 8:05
Pooh
Under the Sea
7DMT (use FP)
Dumbo
Carrousel
Philharmagic
Peter Pan (use FP)
Haunted Mansion
Liberty Riverboat
Snack at Sleepy Hallow
BTMRR (use FP)
Tom Sawyer
Jungle Cruise (4th FP?)
Tree House
Country Bears
Pirates (5th FP?)
BOG 5:05

What are the odds that we'll be able to get a Jungle Cruise and Pirates for our 4th and 5th FPs on a crowd level 6 and most recommended park according to easywdw.
Which plan make the most sense?

Either plan should be fine. I would recommend option 2. I don't think you should struggle getting a additional FP+ for jungle cruise or pirates on the day you described. The only rides that I would anticipate significant waits for in either plan is HM in both and Pooh in option 1, but in either case you should be able to fit all of those attractions in before your BOG ADR. I assume this is a 9:00 rope drop day.

I like your option 1 better, take advantage of the short lines in the morning on some of the busiest rides. I wouldn't bank on being able to get your 4th and 5th FP+ for pirates or jungle cruise before 5pm - you might be able to get them for later in the evening. Your option 2 is going to have 30min waits at HM, jungle cruise and pirates in the afternoon while you option 1 has a bunch of attractions that should be 20min or less.

Option 1, same reasons as PP ^

Yes, the park (as of right now) opens at 9:00. According to my personalized touring plan for option 1, I made on touring plans, at 10:06 there will be a 10 minute wait at HM and at 10:44 there will be a 15 minute wait at Pooh. Dumbo will have a 12 minutes wait at 11:07. Those are the longest waits all day for option 1. And yes, we have plenty of time before BOG to get it all done. According to my plan we'll be done around 3:00 and have 2 hours before dinner. I figure we can use that time to see if there's any FPs available for things we want to do again.

I am leaning toward option 1 because I think it would be nice to take advantage of the shorter lines for some attractions early. Plus I figure maybe those parts of the park won't be as crowded as a lot of people head to fantasyland first. And it's true even if a FP is available for JC or Pirates, it might not be at an ideal time especially since we'll be leaving after dinner because it's a party night. We can always check to see what FPs are available after we use our first 3, just to see if there's any we would want. With option 1 we can get the more popular attractions done before lunch and then focus on the less popular ones after. We are always in such a rush, it will be nice to take a slower pace in the afternoon and just enjoy the park.
