Ridemax at WDW.?

[txfigment]

I have been using ridemax for my first time planning a wdw trip over thanksgiving. A couple weeks ago when I made my plan for Magic Kingdom wait times on most rides were 40-70 min and to hit our favorite rides we were in lines almost 6 hours of the day.
I recently reran the tour since the park hours changed and our longest line is 33 min. Can this be right. Does changing the park hours have that much effect on lines?
Have people used ridemax during a busy day with success?

We loved our plans at DL and DCA but wonder if it will be as good at WDW.

It does if you plan on being there when the park opens. The crowds don't start to build until about 11:00, regardless of when the park opens. Every ride you can get in before that has a huge impact on how long you wait all day.

Ok. That makes since. We are planning on being at MK 40-30 min before park open and packing & eating breakfast in line while waiting to get in. We started doing that last year at DL and it helped to get everyone out the door.

That's what we do, too.

FWIW, we very rarely wait more than 20 minutes, and never more than 30 - even when it's pretty busy.
