MK Rope Drop plan...

[lily2521]

Sorry I've been posting a lot trying to figure out my MK plan overall..

Touring plans, crowd level 5 day.

Right at RD I plan to:
Peter Pan
Enchanted Tales
Meet Ariel
Journey of Little Mermaid

Touring plans says these 4 things will take 2 hours - does that seem right? I was hoping if I RD'd these things right away I could save some time, but now I'm not so sure?

I don't time my stuff too precisely, but I guess if you don't fastpass any of those, it could take almost 2 hours. Enchanted Tales is a little show that takes about 20 minutes, plus factor in at least a short wait. I'd probably watch wait times on that from home on the app for a few days to see if it has reasonable waits throughout today and consider reserving early rope drop time for other things. Peter Pan builds waits pretty quickly and even if you have less that its typical 40-60 minutes wait, it may still have 20 or so, unless it's your very first thing at open. I imagine you could meet Ariel and do Little Mermaid ride a bit faster, after you've done PP, hitting all 3 of those in 1 hour.

It shouldn't take longer than that, but keep in mind Enchanted Tales with Belle will take 30 minutes by itself.

Maybe I'm better off FP'ing that one later in the day. I'd like to get as much done in the 1st 2 hours as possible, and take advantage of RD.

PP is the 1st thing we'll head to. Then maybe Ariel and the Little Mermaid Ride?

Yeah, the problem with ETwB is that it is just a time gobbler. Especially when you consider you could be doing something else like meeting Merida (which doesn't have a FP+ option).

I am guessing you have a little girl so I might consider Cinderella/Rapunzel, Peter Pan, Little Mermaid Ride, Meet Ariel, Meet Merida (starts at 9:15 but you could be here by about 10:00 - 10:15), then maybe teacups, Pooh, Dumbo, Barnstormer (maybe 11:30 by this point) and start with your FP+ then (ETwB). After ETwB, grab lunch and have your two afternoon FP+ sandwiched together so you can hit one at the end of the time window then go right to the next at the start of that time window...

for example:
Tommorwland Speedway from 12 - 1 (do at 12:50)
Buzz Lightyear from 1-2 (do at 1:10)

or

Splash Mnt from 12-1 (do at 12:45)
Thunder Mnt from 1-2 (do at 1:05)

This is a great suggestion, thank you! Yeah, I'll FP ETwB, I don't want to give up 1 hour in our morning to do it when I can FP it later.

I'm going to try for a 7D and A&E FP later that day...fingers crossed that I get them both!

Good luck!

yeah i'd suggest FP'ing enchanted tales with belle if you are trying to do as much as possible in the first 2 hours since that alone will take 25-30 minutes.

personally when i RD MK i can easily do these things in the first 2 hours and in this order
-peter pan
-its a small world
-haunted mansion
-mickey's philharmagic
-winnie the pooh
-under the sea~journey of the little mermaid
