I don't think it should be a problem. Look for the Princesses early afternoon, hopefully on your way out. Get a FP for Roger Rabbit if someone can run back there.

While this will make the other ride's waits longer when you come back. I would ride Gadgets Go Coaster right away trying to get in ToonTown when it opens on Sunday. It gets a 30 minute line really quick and is one of the shortest rides in the park.


For your Fantasylland rides I would put Mr. Toad first(after Peter Pan which you ommited). Then roughly follow the order you have them listed in.

While you might think the kids are going to poop out. If you give them a good nap then you may get more in in the evening, and possibly make it to the fireworks.
 
Overall, yes that it doable.

The only suggestion - depending on what time you actually make it back to the parks, that might be a little late to see Woody & Jesse. Just double check the time at Guest Services.

Don't go to Guests Services, that takes tons of times and isn't needed.

Pick up a Times Guide when you enter, if you don't, ask at the Wait Times Board on the South East side of the hub.
 
Thanks, so helpful!!
I was hoping I wasn't trying to pack in too much! I really only have 2.5 of the 4 days " planned" leaving time for must do agains or never got too!
I did Omit Peter Pan... Not sure why!

The wait times board might be a good area, but the times guide they give when you first enter give their "hours" which is something like 10-4. I myself have never asked at Guest Services as we've always just met who we saw out & about, but the time guide really isn't that helpful for character meet & greets.
 
Will you want to see Rapunzel too? The "Meet & Greet" line to get into her staged area can be really LONG! We saw many parents holding a place in line, as the kids were off riding rides in Fantasyland with the other parent.

There is so much for the young kids to do in Fantasyland. When my grandkids were younger they would ride things over and over. They didn't care about the other lands hardly at all.

My grandson is 17 and he loves to ride the rides in Fantasyland. He says it reminds him of when he went to Disneyland for the very first time, he was 7 or 8.

You have a good plan, just remember to go with the flow and enjoy the trip. Some days you can get everything done on the list and some days you can't.

I hope the crowds aren't too bad for you. Enjoy the trip.

Aw, that brought a smile and a tear :-)

I'm taking my 7.5yo son on his first trip in 3 weeks and I hope he looks back on it as fondly as your grandson does :love:
