ok DCA early rides

[JadeDarkstar]

I have a list of rides to see first in DL but what about DCA?

I am so confused where we will walk in dca from and what is the first ride wed be close to and what would be the best first 5 rides to run to (at 930 or 10am )
(an where is the woc fp (grizzly fast pass) located from the temp entrances?"

We would FP Soarin and then head straight over to TSM.

After going through the gates, you're lead to the area by Soarin'. Of course that changes next month though. I agree with ktlm, that's what we do. Then single ride Screamin'. After getting your FP, go past the Grand Californian entrance and you'll see the FP distribution for WoC on your left. It's on your way towards TSM.

Just go in and to the right into the pine tree, it will be on your left.


1. Aa 9:30 you can get a Soarin FP or/and ride Soarin. DCA FP collection is not effected by DL FP collection so it doesn't matter when you go your last FP in DL.

2. You can also probably ride Little Mermaid but no rush it doesn't get a long line.

3. You Can pick up WoC FPs, at the GRR FP distribution. GRR FPs won't be available until about noon.

4. Then you can line up for rope drop, which drops at 10am.

I'm not saying to do them in that order, I'm saying those are the 4 things you can do between 9:30 and 10am.

If get in the rope drop line early you wait for 30 minutes at the rope drop, then 1-5 at TSMM. If you get in the rope drop later your wait at TSMM will be about 5-30 minutes depending on how late. TSMM for the rest of the day will have about a 30-45 minute wait. It's often best to do TSMM later when you see a 30 minute wait.

MFW gets a long line, this can be best to do first after the rope drops, because it doesn't have FP. CS is another long wait attraction but it does have FP.

Its funny reading you list sounds exhausting lol, but yeah its fine! The beauty about DCA is that you can EASILY do everything there in less than a day as long as you get there early and grab FPs! Now that CAN change come next month of course but everything on your list minus TSM is either 20 mins or less (TLM, Mike and Sully, Muppet 3D and the swings) OR has FP (TOT, Grizzly Rapids and Goofy Sky School) so its VERY easy to navigate the park and do all of these things within a few hours as long you coordinate your times, do the small wait lines and shows between FP waits you will have no problem completing all of that before 4! Again on an AVERAGE day! Come June 15th all bets are off though!

And yes, Alladin is about 40 minutes but can actually go longer to maybe 50 mins. It just depends on the genie lol. Blue Sky Cellar is the preview center but worth checking out if you are coming before June 15th. You generally only need 20 mins if you stick around to watch the film, which most do.

Soarin is usually up and running by 9:30. We go there and ride, no FPs. Then we head over to Paradise Pier and get California Screamin FPs as we make our way to Toy Story. Our FPs are usually good by the time we exit TSM. Then we are free to grab more. We usually have a runner go to TOT as we stay around Paradise Pier and ride the Funwheel, etc.
