MNSSHP lines for rides?

[asmit4]

I'm considering going to MNSSHP to ride rides. I'd be going alone- no kids as my son doesn't arrive til a couple of days later.

Is MNSSHP a good time to ride rides or am I better off to just book during the day and book FPs? My main goal would be the 3 mountains- as my son is only 38 inches.

Yes. Most people go to the parties to experience the party activities.

This. Lines are always short during the parties so it's a great use of time if you're not interested in the party specific things on offer.

I took my girls last year on the last night of the party. It was sold out and we never waited more than 5-10 minutes for any of the rides, even though some of the wait times posted were slightly longer. The lines for the characters and candy seemed to be the longest.

Perfect- anyone know when MNSSHP tickets will start to go on sale?

Historically, about May 1.

DH and DS were able to ride Space Mountain 3 times back to back with no wait when we went to MNSSHP in 2011. DD and I opted to play at the dance parties instead.

The only ride you might have a bit of a wait for would be Haunted Mansion (for obvious reasons.) The 'rare' characters, parade, fireworks and believe it or not, the candy, will draw the people away from the rides.

Unless you're going on Halloween, you're safe to wait until a few weeks before to get your tickets. Of course, that was before FP+ so maybe this will be some new strategy (doubt it).
