tour plan for MNSSHP?

[MrsMud]

Can anyone offer me some ideas of a touring strategy for MNSSHP? Let me say that it will be our ONLY time in MK this trip. We would like to see the early parade, but will probably skip most of the trick or treat stations and focus on rides. I have 3 adults and two Dds, 5 1/2 and 7 1/2. I am thinking we will want to do all of Fantasyland, the two mountains in Frontierland, and Buzz and Space Mt. in Tomorrowland. Is this possible? Or will we need to skip the parade? I am hoping we will be let into the park before 7 (I'm hoping 5). Then again, my Dds will proably only last until 10 or so. How much do you think we can get done?

When we were there last year we did most of these and then some. We arrived early for the party (about 5:30) and they gave us wristbands and told us to wait in Fantasyland. We were told to stay there until the party started so they could clear out the rest of the park. So before the party even officially started we did all we wanted to in Fantasyland. Once the party began, we found the lines for rides to be very short.

My girls are the exact the same age as yours We found that they lasted much longer that night than we thought they would. (tends to happen when they're having so much fun! ) If they are up for it, I would think you would do better at the later parade. Most people go for the first one so the lines really died down during that time. This was such a fun event, you'll have a great time.

Thanks, Wiscmom. That makes me feel much better. I sure hope they let people in early again this year!
My girls are used to being in bed at 8:30, so I hope they make it more than a couple of hours. Maybe I'll give them lots of CocaCola to keep them awake, LOL! The later parade sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the input

We too are planning on trying to attend alittle early to get over and do the rides in Fantasyland. That would be great. For us MNSSHP will be the first time to MK in many moonsfor the rest of our group aside from my immediate family. My parents haven't been there in 20+ yrs. My sister in 15+ years. So they want to do EVERYTHING!!!
