Park Plan - willing to take a look?

[bakerjay]

We are headed to WDW 6/19 - 6/24. My kids are 8 and 12 and my plan is based on the rides that I know the kids will want to do but it's been 4 years since we were there and I'm not sure how feasible the actual FP+/ADR plans are with regards to their proximity to one another. Would someone be willing to take a look and weigh in?

We get in late 6/19 and Saturdays in the World are busy so we have decided to lay low on 6/20 and do DTD, the pool, etc. We hit the parks starting 6/21...We are park hoppers and like to do our "main" park in the morning to catch standby rides while the parks aren't too crowded and then be leisurely at another park in the evenings and ride whatever is available or catch the shows. This is our first time with the new FP+ system though so I don't know if this plan is a pipe dream

Sun, 6/21
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train - 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Liberty Tree Tavern - 11:50 AM
Splash Mountain - 1:10 PM - 2:10 PM
My son and I will ride Space Mtn for sure and I assume that we should head straight there at RD? We also love Peter Pan and the Haunted Mansion and Winnie the Pooh..., not sure how to fit it all in with the 7DMT FP+. I assume we will just hit it toward the tail end of the window?
Back to resort for a few hours then off to Epcot for 7:30 ADR at San Angel Inn (can we see Illuminations from here?)

Mon, 6/22
Soarin' - 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Turtle Talk With Crush - 11:35 AM - 12:35 PM
The Seas with Nemo & Friends - 12:40 PM - 1:40 PM (not sure if we'll bother with this one, we might just head to WS and grab something quick to eat for lunch instead)
We want to do Mission: Space, do we really need FP+ for that? We'll do Test Trak at RD...other thoughts?
Back to resort for a few hours then head to AK around 5pm. We have an ADR at Yak & Yeti at 6:45 and I know that AK empties out later in the afternoon/evening but will there still be lines at Everest, Dinosaur, etc that could prevent our making our ADR? We have never done AK in the evening before.

Tues, 6/23
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror - 10:20 AM - 11:20 AM
Toy Story Midway Mania! - 11:20 AM - 12:20 PM
Star Tours – The Adventures Continue - 12:25 PM - 1:25 PM
DS and I will go straight to RnRollercoaster at RD, DH and DD will go wherever. HS is our least fave park but we go for TSMM and RnR. I don't know that we will make it to 12:25 and it's ok because we don't really care so much about Star Tours but I'm not sure how to kill the time in the morning between the FP+. Should I try to move TSMM earlier and hit ToT and RnR at RD instead of using FP+ for ToT?
Afterward, we will go back to the resort for awhile and then hit MK at night to go on less popular rides (my DD LOVES Carousel of Progress) and catch the nighttime entertainment.

We leave early 6/24...any advice is appreciated!

If you arrive at rope drop and head right to Space Mountain you should be able to ride it with little line. I would then head to Winnie the Pooh followed by Peter Pan. You should be able to complete all 3 of these by 10am and I would follow it up with your 7 Dwarfs FP. If the lines are longer than I am anticipating and you only have Space and Pooh done by 10 ride 7 Dwarfs and then see how Peter Pan is and if you are willing to and have time to wait in the line. If you were able to follow the 1st method try to add in the Haunted Mansion on your way to Big Thunder. Otherwise you can try and ride it after lunch before Splash. San Angel Inn is inside the Mexican Pavilion and will not have a view of Illuminations.

You should be able to follow Test Track with a short line at Mission Space but if it is a 2nd tier you could use it for that instead of the Seas one. If you are planning on riding Everest, Safari, and Dinosaur I don't see that as possible between 5pm and the time of your evening reservations. They will have shorter lines but still have lines and if you want to do other things like Primeval Whirl or Kali River you are definitely not allowing for enough time. I would give myself a minimum of 30 minutes for each major ride even after the Parade and that is if you move very quickly between spots.

In June you probably will have a long line for either ToT or RnR if you attempt to do both at rope drop so I would keep the TOT but you could try and put TSMM first and then ToT. I would do RnR first at rope drop either way. Then I would head over and go to Star Tours as it rarely needs a FP anyway. You could go on the Great Movie ride if you have more time before the FP times begin- it is inside including the line (at least I would not get in an outside line for it so it makes it cooler at that time of the year), then you can go back to the resort after you finish TSMM.

We leave early 6/24...any advice is appreciated!

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see any notes...?
