Plan for the Parks When First Opens

[RosieRosie]

I don't want to run to the Safari with everyone else when AK first opens, or Space Mountain at MK - what attractions are the ones that the least amount of people will be hitting first?

If you want to do the Safari later, then Dinosaur, Primeval Whirl and Triceratop Spin in Dinoland U.S.A. is your best bet. Really.

Sincerely,

Len

We do It's Tough to be a bug first! At MK, head for Buzz Light Year. At MGM do Star Tours.

Don't bother doing EE at EPCOT.

I would agree with Len, hit Dinoland, then if I would be so bold as to suggest - circle back to Safaris, get fastpasses if standby line longer then 20 minutes then go to Asia for Kali River Rapids and ride or get FP if line longer than 20 mintutes - somewhere in there, should have time for a show like Flights of Wonder (it is very good)

We love the AK, let me know if you need any more help

BTW, the only reason to go to Epcot for EE at this point is for Test Track - once Mission Space opens, that will be another prime reason

thanks

The question is....are you going to want to do those attractions?

If the answer is yes, then it really is wise to hit these rides when the crowds are low. It may sound like everyone is running to these 1st thing, but you have to realize, that many people do not even get to the park until 9 (AK) or 10 (MK). You would be amazed at how much you can do in the first hour if you are there at park opening.

I would say, do the most popular attractions first or get a fast pass and come back to them after doing a few more rides.


If you don't care to do these at all, then do just about anything else and head over to Dinoland when it opens to do Dinosaur and Primeval Whirl in AK. In MK, do Buzz (or get a fastpass), the Speedway or Astro-Orbiter. Those also tend to get long lines later on.

Alternatively, you could head over to Splash Mountain first thing and get a FastPass at some point for Space Mountain. Or you could ride Peter Pan and Pooh since they get busy later on. But you will have to use your FastPasses wisely at the mountains and at Buzz and perhaps even at the Jungle Cruise.
