Super Commando Game Plan! Advice Please!

[pixiedust23]

Ok we have decided I believe to get a one day park hopper pass and try to hit Epot, MK, and MGM all in one day. We have a very ltd number of attractions we want to hit. It is an EMH morning at Epcot and were staying at BCV so this is my tentative plan.

7:40 walk over to Epcot to be there at opening. Grab a fast pass for MS and hop on Soaring. THen ride MS, hop a monorail over to MK to get there close to opening. Grab a FP for SplM and ride BTM and then depending on if the FP is ready either run to SplM or SpaceM. Maybe hit the teacups and then head out to MGM (take the monorail to TTC and hop a bus) do grab a FP and do one attaction (just want to do ToT and RnR) I realize that the FP might be for much later in the afternoon if this is the case we will jsut wait stand by. Then we will prolly take the boat back to the BCV and shower and what not before heading back to Epcot to ride Figment and get out 7:15 ADR at Tepanyaki. Watch Illuminations and stroll around the countries.

Have I lost my mind? Think this could work out? Suggestions?

Btw its just me and my BF. Were young 20s so we still move quite quickly and we have no little ones to slow us down!

Yes, I think you have lost your mind! That said if you want to try and go for it... your plans sounds good to me but, here are some ideas to tweak it...I would be at EPCOT by 7:30 a.m. and your touring plan sounds fine there. Deffinitely grab a SpaceM FP first, do SplashM, skip the teacups. When you get to MGM, check the FP times at your rides, then pull the appropriate FP, then get in the single rider lines for the ride you will actually have to wait in line for, they seem to go pretty quickly. Have fun!

Yes, you've lost your mind, but you know that already.

If I were you, I'd post a specific question on this board asking how crowded MS is these days. When we were there (early June) MS was almost always a walk on-and that was before the tragic death on the ride. My guess is that you would be better off to go straight to Soarin, then go to MS w/o taking the time to get a FP for MS 1st.

BUT, since you are going back to Epcot later in the evening, before you leave EPCOT, grab a FP for Test Track, MS or Soarin and then test the theory later in the evening that FPs dont' expire. (I've heard that they have turned away late comers on Soarin, but I haven't heard the same for MS or TT.) It doesn't hurt to try, and if it works, you can ride one more big ride.

Will we be able to get FP for other attactions at the othe rparks though? I actually dont care for TT at all. I think it boring so I dont wnat to miss a FP right when I get to MK for this!

That's another question you should post separately. I can't imagine that the FP machines at one park are tied to FP machines at another park. But I bet that someone here on the DIS knows.

I do not think you've lost your mind, I think its completely doable! One tip for you....from MK to MGM...walk to contemporary, then take bus to MGM..will prob save some transportation time. When DH & I went 5 yrs ago, it was just us, we did the same Epcot/MK thing, went on a few rides there, then left...I think we may have gone to DD after though. Don't remember, but with just the two of you...it'll be fun!

Don't want to be a party pooper but...... on our last trip WDW staggered the opening times for some of the rides in MK.We normally come SEpt/Oct time so this may be something that they do when they're not expecting to be as busy... SD aw:

 

[Deb & Bill]

Skip the FP for M:S; never much of a line there in the AM. Get a FP for Test Track, do Soarin, do M:S, then use your Test Track FP.

Then continue on with your plan.

We went to MK in early August. The line for Splash Mt and BTMRR were pretty long by 10:30.

Would it be better to go to Disney Studios first before MK since you were so close already?

I talked to a 50 something couple on their 25th anniversary on the monorail... They where doing all 4 parks in one day. They had completed Animal Kingdom, MK, and where heading to Epcot... they looked incredibly exhausted at about 1 oclock....

 

[kirbsam]

I agree with skipping fastpass for mission space. get in line at soarin right away. and then bolt the park for mk. you will be there for opening. and be able to get on your rides. you can be at mgm by noon. and you can always do mission space in the evening. definately doable. let us know how it works out.

 

[twinsman]

This is easy to do. I would recommend doing Soarin first, then walk over to Mission Space and walk on. After that, get a FP for Test track to use later at night when you come back to Epcot. Go to MK, if you really get there close to opening, walk on Space Mountain, FP BTM, Walk on SPlash, walk on something you love, retrun and do the BTM. I'll bet it will only be 10:30 or 11:00. Go to MGM. Fastpass Rockin Roller Coaster, Ride TOT (the wait time is always half of what is posted, RNRC is more accurate in its wait time). Between Rock N Roller Coaster time and TOT I would go Fastpass the Stunt show. It is worth seeing and you should be able to go to the first show. You can get a FP for this even if you have other FP for TOT. Have a great trip

DH & I have done stuff like this - 3 or all 4 parks in one day. We are in our 20's and go commando style much of the time.

Have fun!

 

[paladin]

Nothing to add - just wanted to say "Good Luck" and "Have Fun". (I know that I am tired just thinking about this plan!)

 

[johde]

I think this is doable since you don't have any little ones. The last couple of trip I've taken 1 day to do a "best of Disney" 3 park marathon. The one 1 did started at MGM rode RNR, ToT, and saw Little Mermaid (TT had technical dificulties early in the morning). Then, I took the boat to Epcot but stopped at the Boardwalk for Pizza and Toured the DVC rooms (already member so didn't take entire tour just looked at the new rooms). Went on to Epcot, rode TT, and MS. Took monorail to MK Arrived at MK in time to watch the 3:00 parade. Rode the Mountains, PotC, Saw Mickey's Philharmagic, etc. and finished the day with Wishes. Had a great time and I'm planning to doing something similar my last day this year. Have fun.
