pony rides/hay rides/fireworks - need info

[Jenny]

i'm going to be at FW for the first time next sun. 1/14. we're arriving by car then we'll take the shuttle bus to pioneer hall. we have a 5:30 res. at Trail's End.

how much time do i need to do pony rides, petting zoo, playground (15 min), & look around stable? should i arrive to FW by 4? will the pony rides be offered until 5?

where & when do i buy tickets for the hay ride? do you anticipate a line?what time do you think that the hay ride will go out? i had read 7 p.m. Wishes is at 8 next sun. do you think that the hay ride will return by 8 so that we could walk down to the beach to view fireworks or will the hay ride be scheduled so that it'll go & stop by the beach for the fireworks?

does anyone have a phone # that i could call to find out more info?

thanks for any info.

I don't remember what time the pony rides stop, but the petting zoo is gone, I would think 4 is a good time to arrive and look around the stables and see if the pony ride is still open, then let the kids play at the playground while you wait for your table at Trail's End.

The hay ride is 45 minutes so you would be back before 8:00 and have a few minutes to walk to the beach to see Wishes, it leaves Pioneer Hall at 7:00 and also 9:30, the driver sells the tickets right before the ride.

Have a great time.

great news, except for the petting zoo being gone. i'm looking forward to the our FW experience - sounds like a great non-park day!

The petting zoo had added a few animals back when we were there last week. Two pot bellied pigs and a goat or two. There are also the horse stables that you can freely walk through and see the horses that carry carriages for WDW including the Magic Kingdom.
