Need help with MK plan

[planning42012]

I'm trying to figure out our MK plan and I'm really struggling with what to do. The day we are going park hours are 9-8pm with an EMM that morning (we are not going to EMM) and Wishes at 8:00pm. We have ADRs for Be Our Guest at 1:35 and 6:30, we don't need both and that's part of my dilemma. I wasn't expecting to get FP+ for Seven Dwarves since we are staying off site, but managed to get one for 5:55-6:55. Also have FP+ for Space Mountain 11:55-12:55 and Splash Mountain 2:55-3:55.

My original thought was we'd rope drop Seven Dwarves and then do Fantasy Land and Tomorrow Land before lunch heading back to Be Our Guest after our Space Mountain FP+ to have lunch. Then we'd head over to catch the Festival of Fantasy parade near Splash Mountain before our FP+ for that ride. Then we'd do Adventureland and Haunted Mansion during the rest of the afternoon. Then I thought about either dropping the dinner reservation at BOG or just going for dessert and to see the Beast. Hopefully we'd able to get in and out in enough time to get back to the other side of the castle to watch the fireworks.

However, since getting the FP+ for Seven Dwarves I'm thinking maybe we should drop the lunch ADR, rope drop Space Mountain and switch that FP+ to either Pirates or Jungle Cruise after the Splash Mountain FP+. We'd circle around from Tomorrow Land up though Fantasy Land, going all the way around and ending up back at Fantasy Land for the seven Dwarves FP+ at 5:55. Then we'd go to BOG for dinner at 6:30, hoping to get done in time to catch the fireworks at 8:00. Is it even realistic to think we could get done in an hour and a half and be able to see the fireworks? I keep hoping they'll change the park hours since both the day before and the day after we're there they extended the hours to 11pm, but I can't count on that so I don't know what to do. Which plan seems like the better option or is there another way to do it that I'm not thinking of? Any and all input or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I think I'd do the first, original plan. The possible hiccup I see with the second one is the Dwarfs FP. The FP+ line can still be long, and it could take you 15 min or more to get through the line. That could mean you're late to your ADR. That's a little stressful for an end of day plan. Your first plan doesn't have any of those time constraints. If you don't want two rides on Dwarfs, just skip that at rope drop and do Peter Pan instead!

Thanks! Does it take 15 minutes or more for all FP+ lines or just Seven Dwarves? Do you think we should drop the dinner ADR altogether then or still try to go for dessert and meet the Beast before the fireworks?

I would keep the FP< arrive at 5:45, be ready to enter the line at 5:50. BOG is close to the Mine Train so even if you wait 15 minutes you should be okay.

I would keep your dinner for BOG

space lines dose not get long for the first 30 to 45 minutes the park is open so I would just do that first

7DMT line starts out long and stays long unless you do not mind waiting an hour + in that line I would keep that FP.

as fair as the FP lines ( I use the DAS for a disability and am able to use FP lines with it you wait your turn out side the lines then the CM will take off 10 minutes form the wait time and you go in the FP line ) for me and I go to disney a lot most FP lines are only 10 minutes if that a few for a number of resion could be longer or shorter but for the most part they are 10 minutes

as fair as canceling your others I would always leave more time then you think you never know what could happen.

but remember you can get in the FP line about 5 minute before your time this could save you if you are cutting something close.

I would keep the dinner res and SDMT FP. 6pm ride - 6:30 BOG lines up too nicely. That'll make for a perfect evening. Personally, I'd come out of dinner whenever and ride other Fantasyland stuff... it would not be a priority for us to rush dinner to catch fireworks. If the fireworks are a priority for you, you'll still be fine with that hour and a half you've got for dinner.

Since my original post I managed to be able to change my Mine Train FP+ to 9:00am-10:00am. So now I'm wondering if we would have enough time to hit Space Mountain and Buzz Light year at rope drop and then head up to use our Mine Train FP+?
