MM Strategy Help Pls

[klam_chowder]

I'll be there from Thursday to Saturday, March 19-21, and will have 1 MM pass and am wondering when would be best to use it?

I've read to use it on your first day when one is less tired, but then others have said people are less likely to get up for a 7am MM on a Saturday than a 9am MM on Thursday.

While DLR hours aren't available yet, I noticed that Feb's dates have DL open until midnite on Saturday. I plan to stay in the park until they sweep me out, of course with a mid-day break.

Going solo for my first trip and want to "see it all" in 3 days (I'll have Wed late afternoon onwards to check out DTD).

Any suggestions?

cheers,

Ooh, solo, how fun!!!!

Is there a time change that'll work for you at the start of your trip? If so, I'd do it on Thursday. If there's no time change, or it works against you (like you're from Hawaii) then it's back to equal, but I think I'd still do it early, just b/c then you have that section of the park finished and can move on.

Plus, being solo, if you want to go back to Fantasyland or Nemo, you can always go in the evening when many of the kiddies are heading off to slumberland, so you can just avoid that area completely on Saturday morning, and play in the areas at the park's normal opening while the MM'ers are stuck i the last lines they got into before opening time.

Thx a mint for your suggestion, bumbershoot

You're so clever!! I never thought about the time zone factor at all. I'm coming from EST so of course now it makes sense to do it Thurs morning, and like you said, then I can do most of FL during MM. Nemo was my big concern so I appreciate your other suggestion too. Oh, I'm so excited!!! Thx

I'm heading to LA for the Worlds Figure Skating championships, mtg a gf there. DH said since I'm in LA (and he has no desire to go there) I should tack on a few days and see DL. He doesn't have the disney "gene" but he indulges mine so I can't complain. My gf doesn't want to fly down early to go to DL so I'm going solo.

cheers,

In my opinion when going solo you'll see so much more since you don't have to wait on anyone else, you don't need to debate over where to head to next, etc.

I think Thursday will be an overall slower day than the rest of the weekend and would therefore provide a lighter MM. And honestly I would save Nemo for Friday. Get to the entrance gates early so you are in front of the line and head straight to the Nemo line by circling the Matterhorn (I think they still make you queue that way). If you do Nemo during your MM, it would take at least half of your hour.
