Newbie going to DLR!!!

[Dexican]

What vacation planning website should I go with?

I voted Ridemax because their plans, wait times etc. are more accurate for DLR than Touringplans which is better for WDW.

That said you can gain enough information to do well on your own after reading up here at DIS. I have never followed any set plan at DLR. Just use some basic strategies.

Get FP's for Space, Soar'n and Indy early as return times get lengthy quickly as do lines.

Ride Splash early on any warm day. Lines can get well over an hour mid late morning. Usually the line is short last hour before closing on a late night.

TOT has short to moderate lines until mid afternoon even on a busy day. Return times for FP's are rarely very long allowing you to collect another FP quickly.

While waiting for FP return time visit attractions that do not normally have a line. Muppets, Bugs, Turtle Talk, Buzz etc.

Other attractions that often have only moderate lines except midday are Pirates, Haunted, Jungle.

TOY seems to average a 40 minute wait all day. Only way around that is at gate opening if you are lucky. Wait time varies little between slow days and busy days.

Grizzly Rapids has a single rider line. We let the kids go round and round on it with 5-10 minute waits each time. About a 50/50 chance they will sit together but they don't mind if seperated.

Roger Rabbit FP machines are not connected to other FP machines. This allows you to have RR FP and another FP at same time.

DLR and DCA FP machines are not connected to each other. This allows you to visit DL in morning, collect DLR FP's, go to DCA for afternoon and collect and use FP's there, then return to DL for evening using the FP's you collected earlier.

I voted for all three because it was not clear what your goals were. It really depends on what you want. If you want straight touring plans then RM is my vote. If you want straight wait time data then TP is my vote. If you want to create your own custom plan then DIS is my vote.

I said stick with the DIS. There is so much information here about so many things even tiny little details like what bricks to step on when walking across the Esplanade.

Otherwise I would say Ride Max. But it depends a lot on if you want to spend you day looking at charts or relaxing looking at that park.
