Riding Peter Pan's Flight at park opening ?

[maryj11]

If we go straight to Peter Pan's Flight first thing when we get into the park will it be a short wait ?

 

[clouds]

In my experience, yes.

I guess I should of added it will be at busier time of year with a crowd level about 8

At rope drop straight there it should be around 5 minutes at most.

maybe?

On a level 8 day, I would assume that yes the line may be short right at rope drop. But be prepared if it is not.

With that said, I would not have an issue waiting in line for 30 minutes for it to get it done right away.

If you think about it, on a level 8 day, if the line is long right away in the morning, it is most likely going to get longer throughout the day. So, if you don't have a FP for it, I would just do it right away, no matter the wait, to get it done.

Crowd level doesn't much matter. Go there pronto at rope drop and you'll get the shortest possible wait (without FP) pretty much all day.

This. If you're also a bit worries at RD, make sure to move as much to the left or right near the entrances, if you're not too bothered about seeing the RD ceremony.
Through my own experience, I've found once on main st, the pavements are less crowded than the road when walking up towards Cinderella Castle, making for an easier, less congested walk way.
Enjoy your trip!

We usually hit it right at rope drop and can ride twice before the line is backed up much at all.

In January we rode right at RD - walk on. We got off and got back in line and waited 10 minutes. After that, it will be long all day.

Thanks all I was going to try to ride without fastpass and then use my other fastpasses for things like ETWB and maybe the Mine Train. I thought if we stopped at Peter Pan's Flight on the way to FL first thing in the morning that might work.

I've always been there at RD so I can get all the good rides. So in my experience, yes.

We ALWAYS go to PP first at RD. We have NEVER waited more than 5 minutes. It is the BEST time to do it. Here is our schedule with DD (9) who DOESN'T like Beauty and the Beast or any of the mountains. We are ALWAYS done with this by 11:00AM at an 8:00 AM EMH

1) Peter Pan
2) Mermaid
3) Pooh
4) Dumbo
5) Buzz
6) Jungle
7) Pirates
8) Haunted Mansion
9) Small World
10) Philharmagic

Terrific list! For someone who does like to do the mountains you could do those on a second morning, or try for FP in the afternoon.

ANY ride has it's shortest line at RD. Problem is, even with the best intentions, most people can't make it to RD. Walking thru the ticket turnstile even 15 minutes after park opening is NOT RD. You really must be intentional to arrive and be amongst the first to enter the park. The method of park opening can change from day to day but at the MK plan to arrive to the parking lot 45+ before opening time or 30+ minutes if by bus.

in June and crowd levels are usually around 8. We have made it to PP before it started. The line will not be long at all even with a meandering pace. The issue with PP is loading time so lines build throughout the morning.

I think the wait time for PPF is still 40 minutes when the park is closed. At rope drop, it automatically jumps to 80 minutes with nobody in line yet. Definitely FP+ that attraction.

Thanks I was wondering what time to be there

Ok thank you , I would say the crowds will be about the same last week in May as it will be in June.

Are you serious ?? Well in other words the wait times showing are not usually right ?

Would someone please direct me to the calendar that shows what the crowd level could possibly be for a particular day? I found the one with the suggested parks for particular day....but looking for the numbered one. Thank You in Advance
