Planning april 27th & 28th trip a few ?'s

[dedwards]

Okay trying to figure out my plan.

Trip will be me DW, DS16, DS5, DD1, And Nana and Bampa.

We will be coming from 2 hours away and go to Disneyland often but can never get enough. Staying at GCH. We will get to park around 10am on first day. Check in then think we will go Thru California adventures get SOC FP Then straight to DL, Grab IJ FP with 3 tickets then 3 SM FP take it easy go see the Jedi show at 11:35, after the show doing first ride at 12:15 I know late, but we will have MM on Thursday. We will cut off before 3 pm head over ride SOC and then rest a few hours at Hotel.

I have a ton of schedules I printed from Ridemax getting a Idea of wait times and a plan.

The first question I have is on the schedules things like HM , POTC, JC wait times drop to just a few minutes after 8pm is this accurate even with no parades scheduled for that day?

Also on our MM this is the list of rides we are going to try and do. is this doable?

1. Peter Pan (unless we are to slow).
2. Pinocchio
3. Matterhorn
4. BLAB
5. SM (Then grab a FP for later) or just a FP


Thanks in advance for any help.

It's my understanding that Splash Mountain is being refurb right now, will not be done until May or later... I am bummed about it, as we will be there around the same time as you. Sorry, that's all I've got for your question. Have a wonderful trip!

It sounds ok.

Really you should all enter DCA through the GCH entrance which you can do earlier if possible the FP will be open at 9:30 when Soarin opens, despite the published 10am open of DCA.

Then use a runner. Family goes where ever, stays in DCA or all go over to DL which would probably be better. Runner gets the Indy Fast passes with the 3 ticket and then SM FPs with one. Then when you go back to these attraction a use Rider Swap so everyone can ride. In the meantime the family goes on something with the baby. Maybe Jungle Cruise, Buzz or Finding Nemo. Then you get a ride in with plenty of time for Jedi Training.

Thanks

By SM I mean space Mountain. My DS16 is really mad about Splash.

We are going to go in through The GCH Hotel entrance to get SOC FP. If we have Time before watching Jedi with Our sign in hand, We will ride maybe Buzz.

But I don't think we will be getting there before 10am it is a 2 1/2 hour drive from our house with traffic. But figure if we can get in SW RR and BLAB DS5 favorite. Then head back ride SOC and to the room by 4 pm for pool time and dinner. Also should have SM, IJ and BTMRR FP's for later, and maybe TOT.

I am mainly wanting to know how much I will Get in off my list for MM, and if the after 8pm wait times for JC POTC and HM are accurate on ridemax they are saying less then 10 minutes each. If those things are correct then we will get all we want in and have plenty of picture and fun free time.

Getting very excited now.
