Rides in Morning vs. Night

[PiratePixiePark]

Hi all!

I was wondering what rides at Disneyland tend to have lower wait times in the morning vs. evening?

Basically, which rides should I rope drop and which should I save for the evening (in terms of wait times)?

TYIA!

Rides I go on:

Peter Pan
Alice
Snow White
Storybook

Runaway Railway

Jungle Cruise
Pirates
Haunted

Mark Twain
Pooh

I rope drop Fantasyland rides, but my kids like to do Haunted mansion and Pirates first. Mark Twain and Pooh shouldn't have long lines all day, from my experience.

Generally the lines will be shorter in the morning, except for Peter Pan, which always has a line.

Sometimes at the very end of the night, 10:00/11:00 I've had really short waits in Fantasyland.

I haven’t checked lately, but historically Peter Pan stays very long to the end of the night but some of the other dark ride lines tend to thin out. Because it’s new, I would expect MMRR to get longer as the day goes on also…but people seem to enjoy having time to look around in the queue.

Out of those rides, Fantasyland is the clear rope drop destination. I’d go through the castle, ride Peter if it’s 20 - 25 minutes or less. If it’s more, check Alice, same basic time range.

Fantasyland is so much nicer in the morning. Lower stress level and tons of happy kids. Since you aren’t planning to ride the biggest bads, (like Space, Rise, and Indy) Fantasyland attractions are the only lines that can’t really be monitored throughout the day and ridden when it’s a bargain.

The other consideration would be MMRR.

Bonus tip, with Fantasmic! down, some nights the Mark Twain has been running after dark. Check the app to see if this semi-unique experience is available.
