Rides during MK parade?

[Davey Jones II]

I was wondering if ride wait times drop during the 3 p.m. parade at MK, and which ones you would recommend? One time, we got in line for 7DMT at 3 p.m. and got through the ride in about 30 min. I would love to hear about people's recent experiences with this or other rides. Thanks!

P.S.; How about just after the parade?

We haven’t found that lines change during the parade as it pulls such a small fraction of the people in the park.

I will say after the parade, rides closest to the parade route will get a bit of a rush of guests.

Okay, what about getting in line just before 6 p.m. on party days? No LL to slow down the line after 6, right?

Not really. As I understand it, once the park closes to day guests then any guests with wristbands use the LL. I haven't been so this isn't first hand knowledge. I would ask your question on the MNSSHP thread as many of those have already been to their parties so will have first hand experience.

I've seen some posts that suggest leaving MK at 4 p.m. on party days, to park hop elsewhere. Is that what you recommend?

Those with party tickets are allowed in beginning at 4, so yes, crowds begin to increase around 4 on party days as the party-goers enter the park. If you have a hopper, then yeah, around 4:00 is probably when you are going to want to think about hopping elsewhere.
