Splitting time between DL/DCA

[JanJan324]

I'm going to have 2 days next month to spend at DL/DCA. One of those days will be DL only due to my mom and sister joining me and not getting park hoppers. How much time do you all think I should set aside for DCA? I don't want to do any of the shows, it will be strictly for rides and maybe dinner. I'm thinking I'll be doing RSR, TSMM, Soarin', and probably CS. How long should that take if I do single rider for everything that it's available for? 3 hours? 4? I don't plan on running around the park to get it done as fast as I can, but I don't want to linger either.

Only RSR and Screaming from that list have SR. Check the standby and FP return time for Screamin when you go on TSMM. It'll likely be faster to just do standby or pull an FP and use it after TSMM.

Thanks! It's been 3 years since I've made it down there, and this is the first time I've gone solo. My kids were very anti single rider line in the past!

DCA can definitely be a half day park, particularly with the main rides you listed. Since you're doing single rider RSR the wait shouldn't be too bad for that one. Try to go first thing in the morning if you can so you'll hit TSMM with a minimal wait. For Soarin you can get a FP so that shouldn't be too bad especially if you get one earlier in the day. If you have a bit of lag time you can go on Little Mermaid. It's usually a walk on and definitely worth the time. Monsters Inc is also usually a short wait time and pretty cute.

The only problem with first thing in the morning is I have a 7:10 ressie at Plaza Inn for breakfast. I know going in the afternoon would mean a longer wait, but I think it will work best with my schedule that I have planned out so far. There's just too much stuff I want to get done in one day, because day 2 with my mom will be MUCH slower.
