somewhat of an EE question

[vbecky]

Do you think it is reasonable to think that I can get all the rides suggested for EE done in the 7-8 am hour on a Mon. tues. or thursday the week of June 25-29? Getting ready to leave next sunday and I am trying to finalize with ridemax and I am trying to decide if it is to much to think that I will get those all done in that hour have never been before during ee and just wondering if I should schedule any in on ridemax? thanks

My suggestion would be this: Do Peter Pan very first during EE. Pick 2 other rides from Fantasyland that you want to hit, but aren't near the top of your list. Then plan those 2 into your Ridemax schedule. And if you are able to get to them during the EE hour, you either have a breather during your day, or just skip to the next thing on the list!

OR

You could print out 2 plans; one like the plan I outlined above, and the other with no FL rides factored in, just in case you get to them all.

Just a suggestion--no matter what, you'll have a fabulous time!!!

What are "all the rides suggested for EE" ?

What rides do you want to NOT ride during EE?

 

[HydroGuy]

If you follow RideMax's suggestions for EE ride order and you get to the gates next week 30 minutes early (even 15-20 will probably suffice) and you do not dawdle but like Hound's family and my family you "walk with purpose" to Fantasyland, you can get at least seven of the EE rides done and maybe 8-9. I would plan for the getting the first seven as far as RideMax is concerned.

What is the ride order that RideMax specifies for EE?

If you buy RideMax then it tells you in their tips section. If you have not bought it, well, then you need to buy it to find out.

Search the forum... Hound & Hydroguy have both posted suggested EE plans for FL that closely match Ridemax's suggestions.

But for the experts.... I noticed that Ridemax suggests doing Matterhorn before Alice, during EE on June 28th. Every thread I've seen in here has Alice first, which advice should I follow?

IMO it does not matter. Those two are roughly of similar priority. The only difference is that Alice is a shorter ride so that may influence which is done first.

This is why i placed Alice before Matterhorn.

When i did Alice third after walking on PP & Dumbo, it was a short (5 min) wait. When i did Alice fourth (AFTER PP, Dumbo & Matterhorn), the wait was much longer (maybe 12 - 15 min.). Then again maybe it was just the days i went.

I'm not privvy to the RideMax list (but obviously I've benefited from advice from others who might have used it as a template).

Most importantly (IMO) is to be one of the first few familys on PP. This will mean little or no line there & then you'll be on one of the first 2 Dumbo rotations & EE will take care of itself.

A question to all who might have an opinion. After the big 4 in FL (PP, Dumbo, Alice & Matterhorn) is it better to do the tea cups or Toad? I would think Toad, but then again I've skipped the tea cups two of the three times i've done EE. Thanks.

I think it's a toss-up. Both will have about the same amt of lines by that time. I'd probably stand between them (outside the Mad Hatter), check-out both lines, and pick the shorter of the two.

Come to think of it....the reason we rode on the Mad Hatter was because a ride had just ended & we were able to walk purposefully through the line and on to a cup. Thankfully, DS just turned 8 and isn't very strong and I pretended the turning-wheel thingy was real heavy. (this is not my favorite ride )

My dh won't even get on the Teacups! BTW, "The Mad Hatter" I was referring to is the hat shop positioned between Toad and the Teacups.

I was confused...but now I Got it......

"Teacups" is the nausea inducing ride next to Alice.

"Mad Hatter" is the nice little hat shop between Alice & Toady.

hound <------a fan of Toady...not of teacups.

ok question here.

if nemo dosnet actely open till ee is over then whats better. to hit a few rides in fantisy land and then go over in line for nemo? how long would line be in nov-dec

 

[JenDisneylandlver]

Nemo was open for EE for us on Saturday. Well actually it opened 15 minutes in to EE (when they finished testing the ride). Not sure if they do this every EE, but they did do it the day we were there.

We always hit Peter Pan first, then Dumbo, Toad, Alice, Matterhorn. Then we'll usually hit Buzz and then space Mountain, and then getting fast passes for Space. We don't care for the tea cups either. We actually did this every day we were there, and was able to ride them all pretty much walking on. We basically spent most of our one EE on Nemo (since it opened 15 minutes in to EE, and then the time to ride it). After Nemo we still had time for Buzz and Space. But that was okay because that plan worked on the Non-EE days just as well and we got to see everything many times over.

So you were able to do Nemo as well as Buzz and Space all in the one hour EE or did you hit Buzz and Space after the park was open to everyone? If you got all 3 done in one hour, that's awesome. Glad to hear you got a lot done, even on a Saturday

Now that I've planned it I can't remember whether this was a ridemax suggestion or DIS suggestion or combination of the two (most likely scenerio) but, here is my EE strategy for next Thursday.

Peter Pan
Dumbo
Alice
Matterhorn
Mad Tea Party (teacups)
Mr Toad

and if time permits...

Snow White
Pinnocchio

Am I missing anything?????

What about the King Arthur Carousel???

Oh I have that slated as well... My kids wont let me leave off any ride thats "specially for us kids". But using a combination of ridemax, previous threads, and my own spreadsheet similar to hydroguys *although definitely not as technically advanced - I was able to determine that the following rides did not need to be included in EE to get them done while lines are still short.

Storybook Land Canal Boats
Casey Jr Circus Train
King Arthur's Carrousel
Pinnocchio *if we run out of EE time
Small World.

According to my planning we can still ride all of these after park opening and be done in time to make it to the 9am opening of Toontown...

Now we just have to put the plan to use... & therein lies the challenge!

I admire your dedicated research. A couple of items to to correct:

- Storybook Land Boats, Casey's Train & Small World aren't open during EE. (So yes they can be ridden the first hour AFTER EE.)

- My experience was that Snow White was much easier to ride (in other words, hardly ever a line) than Pinocchio or the Carousel (after EE).

And a comment:

At 59 minutes after EE opens, someone should be (in line to) pick up a FP's for the family at SM or Indy. Then meet up with you at Casey/IASW or whatever.

Have fun.
