Hi friends, would appreciate your advice on our touring plan. We are going the week of Sept 10 with our 5 yo DD. We plan on RD at MK for 3 of our 6 days there. Our must-do’s for the first day include ETWB (because we have a BOG dinner that night) and Barnstormer early (last trip, she loved this and was a great way to build her up for 7DMT and Splash). Big Thunder will be closed. We also plan on meeting lots of characters.

I’m thinking that each of our days we’ll try a FP+ for 7DMT, Splash, and Space, since we would probably like multiple rides on all of those. I’ll target the FP timing for later morning/early afternoon. We'll head back to the resort for a swim and then back to a park for evening activities.

What I’m not sure about is what to do in the early mornings, or what order to do it in.

Day 1 – RD (Sat)
Barnstormer
ETWB
Ariel (Ride and Meet/Greet)

Day 2 – RD (Tues)
Meet princesses at Fairytale Hall
Meet Merida
Meet Tiana

Day 3 – RD (have 8am BOG) (Thurs)
7DMT
Peter Pan (never saw the interactive queu – would like to this trip if we can have a short wait)

Of course, we need to work in a lot of other touring (Adventureland, tomorrowland), but we may be more spontaneous on these and do stand-by for whatever has a short-ish line.

So, does anyone have advice on how to make the most of our early morning time? Do you have a recommended order for the things we want to do? Should we try to FP something else?

So MUCH thanks!!! :flower1:
 
On your first day, I would suggest doing Belle first and then Ariel. Barnstormer should have the lowest wait of the three so I would do it third if I were you.

If you plan to do Winnie the Pooh, I would do it right after Belle.
 
I would keep your FP plan as it stands. You can always try for additional FPs after you use your initial 3. Pooh and Barnstormer will be available later in the day FP-wise.
