Anybody want to help to decide how practical my timing is?
We are all RD to park close people so don't mind that its a long day.

 

[holden]

Keep in mind you are there during one of the busiest weeks of the year. Wait for rides like Pooh will be very long without FP (I'm guessing over an hour during the time you want to ride it). You might not get to ride as many attractions as you have planned.

I'm assuming you already have your 3 FP+ booked. Getting a 4th in the time slot you listed might be difficult except for Tiki Room. Times for rides you want might be available in the evening.

RD will definitely help you get more done in the morning.

Have fun!

Edited to add: just realized you are off site. You might get only one or two rides done in your 8-9:30 time slot. MK opens at 7am that day.

I agree with PP. Winnie the Pooh can get long lines, and early! I would do PP, IAWM, Winnie the Pooh first thing in the morning. You may even get Under the Sea done first thing in the morning, too.

see if you can get there at rope drop as you may be able to do some of the rides quickly with out FP+

Yes you are going during a very busy time, the reason why MK is pend so early. I would not plane on doing all the rides you want.

Hey OP here.
Just wanted to come back and let everyone know my experience.
It was a very productive day despite the crowds and being offsite.
We were able to do PP, IASW, HM, Carousel, 7DMT, Pooh, Under The Sea, and Philharmagic between 8am and 11:45am.
After using our 3 FP+ we were able to get a 4th for POTC and a 5th for JC.
We were even able to do a few things twice including COP, Pooh, Under The Sea, and Philharmagic.
We left the park around 11pm.

I am so glad your day went so well!!!! We also stayed offsite and did MK on 4/13. Between prebooked FPs and SDFP, we had a terrific time and waited in very few lines.

Thursday 4/13: We got to MK a little before 8:00 AM. We had prebooked FPs for 7DMT, Splash Mt and Big Thunder Mt. At park opening we rode Space Mt, Under the Sea, Small World, and Haunted Mansion. We tried Peter Pan right after Space MT but the wait was already at 40 minutes (too long for me, I did try SDFP but could only get 11:15 PM - too late, so we skipped it this trip). I got SDFP that morning for Pirates, Jungle Cruise and Buzz in the early afternoon & early evening. After we finished with all our FPs, I booked 4th FPs for Pooh and Dumbo. In between FPs, we had an 11:50 lunch at BOG, did Country Bears Jamboree, Carousel of Progress, Tiki Room, Incredibles Dance Party, Monster's Inc Laugh Floor, dinner at Cosmic Ray's and Wishes. We also left the park at around 3:00 for naps and came back at 6:00 PM. By 10:45 we were ready to head back to our condo. We got a Mickey bar and a Dole Whip float for the walk to the parking trams.

I was worried about the 7:00 AM EMH messing up my usual rope drop strategy, but it was really a non issue. Space Mountain, most of the Fantasyland rides (except 7DMT, PP and Pooh), and Haunted Mansion were all still walk ons. The park didn't start to feel crowded until 10:30 ish.
