Noon Arrival DL Strategy

[AKVFamily]

We should arrive at DL on our checki-in day around noon. What would be your suggested strategy to hit maybe 1/3 of the thrill rides? We will have Genie +. Thanks for your help!

Well, a little of that is going to depend on what is available when on G+. I would book the first available time for one of the thrill rides that you want to hit, then go wait in line for a different one. At noon the lines will be getting longer, so check the wait times too. You might book the ride with the longest current wait time, even if it's a little further out, but don't push it too far out so that you can book as many as possible throughout the day and evening.

In Disneyland park, you will have no problem hitting all the thrill rides even without G+ if you arrive around noon. The parks will be open until, what? 9pm-12am? That's at least 8-10 solid hours you can dedicate to rides (minus time to eat and rest). We often arrive around noon and manage to hit all the big coasters in each park before leaving around 6-7 hours later.

I think the date of your arrival will also play a small factor into any strategy. If it's a Saturday, it'll probably be busier than the middle of the week. That being said, you should have anywhere from 8-12 hours of park time to get things, so shouldn't have many issues.

Good point. This is during the Easter week and Spring Break so I expect crowds to be high.
