One evening at Magic Kingdom

[Tequilamamacita]

We arrive in Orlando at 1:30. I imagine it will be 3 by the time we check into the Disney Beach Resort. I made a dinner reservation in MK at 4:50 for Be our Guest and three Fast passes. for Haunted HOuse, Space Moutain and Buzz Light year... is there anything else i should try to do or squeeze in? I am travelling with my DH and a 12son, 10 daughter, and8 son> Any help appreciated first visit for us all>

Ideas?

Is there a reason you're only doing one evening? Are you doing other parks as well on the trip?
I would try and do Splash Mt and Big Thunder Mt too.
Pirates is a great ride.
And I might switch Haunted Mansion Fast Pass for 7 Dwarves Mine train if you can. The line for Haunted Mansion isn't too long standby. (But definitely do it!)
When is the trip?
Definitely stay past fireworks. Lots of crowds file out after that and you may be able to fit more rides in. And the closing time is just last time to get in line for a ride not time park actually closes, so take advantage if that is really your only MK time.

Thank you for the advice- we leave the next am for a Disney Cruise, which is why we only have the afternoon evening. The trip is July 9 so the park only goes to10 I think.

Keep checking because they may extend hours closer to the date. 10 seems early for a Sat in July.

The Main St Electrical Parade and fireworks are great, but if you want to maximize ride time lines are relatively short when others are watching parades and fireworks. And there are some rides that are actually cool to do during the fireworks - Splash Mt, Big Thunder Mt, Astro Orbitor..
If they do add a 2nd parade watch the 2nd one and ride rides during the first one.
