Ride Planning

[theluckyrabbit]

... And good to know about Winnie the Pooh! Im sad it will only be open for one day but I will make the most of it...

If the line isn't long when you ride, ask when you board if you can ride twice -- it's such a charming ride (and the a/c is nice, too)! (lol about Petunia!)

If you can switch things Monday tends to be really busy.

Unfortunately we cannot as we have booked other things the other days already!

It may not be that bad if you get started bright and early at RD, make the most of the morning hours (golden at DLR!), keep booking MP and stack them up for later in the afternoon and evening when the crowds start show up after school and work get out, and have any reservations for TS or dining packages ready to go (if you want any). Busy times are when having a plan of some kind, even a relaxed one, really can pay off.
Make sure to study the MP thread on how to stack your FPs!

Im from MA and an AP holder at WDW so I am very familiar with two versions of that aforementioned term

Hmm. Now I'm curious. I'm only familiar with one term. I've gotta know the other. Or maybe if I just listen closely the next time I walk past a group of newbies quickly I'll hear it ;-).

I disagree with doing Peter Pan first... unless you are in the first wave of people skip and come back later. If the line reaches out to the end of the queue its gonna be 35 minutes-45 minutes; and it will be about that long ALL day long. So if you miss that first rush, do all the rest of Fantasyland and tomorrowland and then come back later for PP.
If you wait 35 minutes in the PP line, you will have burned through a ton of the gloriously empty early hours. I tend to do the Storybook boats, Alice then Dumbo and the rest of Fantasyland.

Last Halloween season, in addition to the regular park maps, Disney put out maps that had the locations of the Halloween/fall specialty foods. You might want to get one if they put one out this year. It helps when you want to try something but do not know where it is being sold.
