Napa Rose reservations and rollercoasters

[cgh]

DH and I are getting a sitter one night and I want to fit in some rides we can't do with DS and dinner at Napa Rose. I'm figuring I'll collect fast passes during the day. (this will be in August)

These are the rides we are interested in:

Space Mountain
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Splash (I'm guessing we'll have to fit that in during the day)
Soarin
Indiana Jones

I'm thinking a 7:30 reservation at Napa Rose and maybe going to the parks at 5?

How many do you think we'll be able to get done? Are we just going to be a mess for dinner? What time do you think we should stop to get back to GCH for dinner?

What order do you think we should do these? Which ones do you think are better to try to switch off when we are with our son?

Space and BTMRR may blow your hair around some. But assuming you'll be able to fix that in the ladies room, no problem. The one I'd worry about is Splash. You do realize that you run a good chance of coming off that one soaked, right? You may need to go back to the room to change.

Soarin and Indy should present no problems.

You can also use rider swap to ride any of the above rides with your ds in tow. It works well for screamin' to have one of you do the carousel with your ds and then swap off when the other gets off the coaster. You can do a similar thing with buzz and SM, etc.

yeah-I'm trying to figure out how we'll do splash as a 12 minute ride I think its harder for switch off. We are staying at DLH so we could conceivably head back to the room and change. I'm going to try to do switch off at some other point as well.

I suppose I'll make the 7:30 reservation and go from there.

My general plan for the rides we want to go on but DS can't is perhaps have either of us go to the park solo during naptime or after bedtime, and collect fastpasses. We'll see.
