What do you guys think? Can I do the following in one evening EMH day befor 4:00:

The Haunted Mansion
Mad Tea Party
Dumbo
It's A Small World
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress
Mickey's Philharmagic
Peter Pan's Flight
Space Mountain

Depends when you're going, how many/what ages are going, if you're planning a TS meal, what time the park opens, if you plan to see the parade etc etc etc-sorry to be so unhelpful

What time of year... right now I would guess the following waits:
The Haunted Mansion: 20-30
Mad Tea Party: 20
Dumbo:30
It's A Small World:15-20
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: 40 or more
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin: 40-50
Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress: None, at most 5-10
Mickey's Philharmagic: 30
Peter Pan's Flight: 50 or more
Space Mountain: 60 and up

It's been pretty busy, those are the wait times I noticed last week. Hope this helps. The longest being in Fantasy Land so hit that first...

Time of year makes a big difference- as in the difference between a 10 and 100 minute wait for Space Mtn! In general, I think you'd be able to fit them all in with some FP use.

Last time we went (late Aug 04 --Value Season) we made breakfast reservations at Crystal Palace for before the park opened on a non EMH day (breakfast at 8 something and the park opened at 9). We finished breakfast at 10 til 9 and walked as far as we could towards Fantasyland. There was a rope blocking the way through the castle if I'm remembering correctly. We took great pics in front of the castle without another sole around! As soon as the rope dropped we went into Fantasyland and did in this order:

Dumbo
Winnie the Pooh
Cinderella's Carousel
Peter Pan
Ariel's Grotto
Tea Party

all in slightly under 1 hour! By 10 Fantasyland was starting to get crowded so we move on, but none of us could believe that we did so much in so little time. Granted it was Value Season, so crowd levels were less, but I think already being so close to Fantasyland when the park opened and it not being an EMH morning (so the crowds were at another park) really helped. We would have done Its a Small World, but it was closed for refurbishment then.

People also suggest going on popular rides during the afternoon/evening parade times. Personally we've never managed to we're usually pooped by the afternoon parade and have already gone back to our hotel room for naptime.
Hope that helps!

I would have to say that if you hit Fantasyland first, you should be alright, maybe get a FP for Space Mtn first, just to assure yourself a shorter wait for it. COP is pretty much a walk right on ride. It is a classic, but it isn't appreciated by everyone that goes to MK. I've never had a long wait for HM, I just normally go to Frontierland first, then head over to HM then Fantasyland. I like to get Thunder/Splash Mtn out of the way early. We still get some decent wait times for Fantasyland (we try to go on days that don't have EMH). But for you, I would get Fantasyland out of the way. Maybe get in line for dumbo after getting a FP for Pooh. Then when that window opens, get one for Buzz, and I will tell you why to get one for Buzz before Space Mtn. First, it depends on how long the wait for Space Mtn is, and how long before the window opens for a FP from Space Mtn. But normally the wait for the window to a fp to open for Buzz isn't very long, and you could ride pooh, philharmagic, and maybe Peter Pan (this ride normally is one of the longest waits in Fantasyland, so you might need a FP for that ride also) by the time the window opens for Buzz. At that point, get a FP for Space Mtn, ride Buzz and COP, maybe hit some of the other rides you didn't get to first, and then come back for that Space Mtn FP window. I hope that that isn't too confusing. It normally includes quite of bit of backtracking, but if you have just one person getting the fastpasses, then it makes it a little bit easier (in my group that person is me, can you believe it?)
