Soarin'/Grizzly RR strategy? - afternoon arrival

[ursula500]

We will be at DL for only a Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday in mid-August. Since I thought that DLP would be really crowded by afternoon, my plan was to do DCA Tuesday afternoon/evening and DLP on Wednesday.

Does anyone have any advice to help us get onto Soarin', Grizzly River Run, and Aladdin? We probably won't arrive at the park until 3-4 p.m. or so, which is probably too late for FASTPASS. If it helps, we'll probably skip the evening parade, so we can go see the fireworks at DLP (We've seen the Spectromagic Parade at DW, and this sounds similar).

Thanks

I wouldn't skip the Electrical Parade, as it is the original and is rumored to be "leaving" this Christmas "forever" well, we know where that went last time.

As for your question, you can try for single rider lines if you don't mind everyone riding sperately or try Grizzily just after the parade (or during if you aren't going to see it, if you do this, do Soarin' first) then do Soarin' as the last ride of the night, generally not much of a line, but be sure you are in line for Soarin' at least 10 minutes before closing, as sometimes they cut the line off early there.

I agree with single rider lines for Soaring and Grizzly River Run, unless the lines are 20 mins or less.

For Aladdin, you should get there a half hour - 45 minutes before the show - it's well worth watching.

If you have time, also try California Screamin' - single rider line, and check out the Animation Building, near the Hyperion Theater, where Aladdin is playing.

Frankly, I would search for a FP first for Soarin' and totally skip Grizzly to be able to do Aladdin and California Screamin' (the lines for this one fluctuate alot during the day...I've seen afternoon wait times of 10 minute as well as 60 minutes).
