Post BOG Pre-Park Opening Plan of Attack

[AtlantaDisneyDreamer]

Edited Based on Comments- Thanks!

My daughters (ages 8 and 2) and I will be having an 8am breakfast at BOG then trying to get in as many attractions as we can without fastpasses before crowds swell. We will be sticking to things with 36" height requirements because my 2 year old is only 36 1/2". I would really appreciate comments on this plan:

(We will have at least one or two other days at MK when I hope to FP+ Peter Pan, Anna and Elsa, and FOF Parade)

1. Ride Peter Pan
2. Ride Winnie the Pooh
3. Enchanted Tales with Belle
4. Ride Under the Sea
5. Meet Ariel
6. Ride Barnstormer
7. Meet characters at Pete's Silly Sideshow
8. Ride Dumbo
9. Ride It's a Small World
10. Ride Carousel
11. Check line for Mickey Mouse on the way out


Head to HS (wonder about what time this will be? Around 11 or 12?)

11. See Beauty and the Beast Show (1 pm)
12. See Voyage of the Little Mermaid w/Fastpass+ (1:45 pm)
13. Disney Junior (2:20)
14. Ride Toy Story Mania with Fastpass+ (2:30-4:30 time frame)
15. See The Muppets
16. Frozen Sing Along with Fastpass+ (5:30)
17. Get 4th Fastpass+ for Jungle Cruise (my older daughter and I will be heading back to MK for the night while the little one stays with Grandma)


This is a day when HS closes at 6 pm, so no Fantasmic.

The only thing I would suggest would be to move Winnie the Pooh to the first thing you do when you leave BOG. (side note - I think you could actually ride Peter Pan and Winnie the Pooh before doing the rest of the things you want to do and still be in a good position to get to HS by Noon)

I don't believe Enchanted Tales draws the huge crowds right away like it did a couple of years ago...

I agree about Winnie the Pooh…do that first. Wait times grow very quickly for that ride. Then, proceed with the rest of your plan.

Okay- Thanks! I edited my plans to reflect your thoughts. Also changed a bit at HS to Fastpass LM instead of DJ.

In my experience the Peter Pan line grows much more quickly than Pooh. We either ride that with a FP+ or first. If you are using FP+ for it at another time, you may want to skip it if the line is too long when you get there.

You do realize that in order to add a jungle cruise fp, you must actually be in the MK park? You can't typically do that from HS.

Why would she have to be in the MK park? I thought that if you're using a phone to make fps you can get a new fp to a different park as long as all fps from one park have been used? So after the last fp is used for HS a new fp for MK can be made.

Well, I know that common understanding is that you have to use the physical kiosks in the park to book the 4th Fastpass, but I just saw a thread on these boards about several people attesting to being able to do it through their phones. I thought I would try it and see if it works for me. If not, then not. I am interested in seeing what happens in the next couple of months regarding booking the 4th Fastpass.

I thought you could do it using your phones, too, but I know that many folks still say you have to use the kiosks.

There have only been a couple of people claiming success using their phones ( and all but 1 of these had AP's). As far as I know, you have to use the kiosks.

Do you think having APs makes a difference? We will have APs.

I have no idea- but there's one dis'r in the parks today- the one who brought this to everyone's attention that's testing the theory.
