One month out, tips and suggestions

[bryiank]

Well we are one month out and here is the summary plan...
Use the EE on the first day (this will be Fathers day)
Knock out Fantasyland with the EE time
Do Nemo late or during a parade
Consider hopping to DCA midday
Eating at Blue Bayou for Fathers Day
Eating at Rancho Zocalo another day (3 Day Hopper)
Where to eat at DCA?? Isn't there a new place coming?
What else do I need to consider in the 3 day plan?

Thanks, B

Have you got your list of what order to get your FPs in?

 

[bryiank]

No. What is the Magic order?? Day one I thought Fantasyland on EE and then on to the E tickets. Definitely want to ride Space, Matterhorn, Indy but are there better rides after EE and then hit the big ones later?? We have 3 days in the parks to get everything. I would appreciate anyone with a plan that has worked before to share it. Thanks, B

Sounds like a very nice plan. Might I suggest visiting Marcelines Confectionery in DTD? Super yummy!
One of my favorite rides that normally have FP, is Indy. So for that one, I make it a point to get that first thing in a.m. then when it becomes available again, I get another, even if I have not used the first one yet. The fast passes, can be used past their stamped time, just not on a different day.
Have a wonderful time!

Rancho isn't a table service restaurant, so you can just drop in whenever...the line can get long, but just go at irregular times.

I like Wine Country Trattoria for a sit-down type of place over in DCA. It is table service. If you like more snacky foods (artichoke dip, for instance) then there's Cove Bar (kids can sit at the tables, not at the bar itself).


Check out allears.net for menus, it can give you good ideas.


Get the "I'm Celebrating" buttons for Father's Day! Just ask for them at City Hall, or the ticket booth, or random CMs...

As far as Fastpass plans, I recommend Hyrdoguy's Tips in the sticky thread here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1072276

We followed his "Fastpass during Busy Days" plan during our recent Spring Break visit and it worked well for us: get FPs for the most popular rides first (Space, Splash, Indy) and then the less popular rides.

Have fun!

Sounds like a good plan.

- I agree with Saskiwi, if you're not getting RideMax, take a look at HG's tip threads (if you haven't already printed some of them).
- Get to DL 30-40 min. before opening.
- I agree with Bumber on the Trat in DCA. Nice place, great outdoor ambiance, good food...at moderate prices.

Have a great time at Walt's Park.
