Trying to get a MK strategy together and book FP+... opiinions please I have no idea if this is reasonable. My parents are not used to riding scooters but have the whole day beforehand at Epcot to get a handle on them.

Will we get to Peter Pan at a decent time or is this gonna take awhile with 2 scooters/crowds?

1. 8am Breakfast @Crystal Palace
2. 9am Peter Pan, then Pooh, Indy Speedway, Buzz

3. Barnstormer, Dumbo

4. FP+ Under the Sea; FP+ Belle

other FP+ (Pirates later in the day)???
 
In my experience, a character meal (like CP) takes at least an hour. It's possible to get out in less time if you are done eating, but depending on where the characters are you may not see them all if you leave. Personally, I think your schedule is too tight -- first it's assuming that you are seated at CP right at 8am and second it has allowed no travel time to get from CP to PP after the meal.

Since you don't mention the time of year, day, whether it is morning EMH, rope drop time and such, it's hard to say what crowds will be like at 9am as all of those will factor in. Crowd level will impact how quickly the ECVs can move from point A to point B.

Enjoy your vacation!

I say schedule your fast passes for later in the day, I was there in January with my parents and they had scooters. I had to schedule my FP a little later because of the time consumed by waiting for the bus, loading and unloading the scooters from the bus. Don't schedule too much all at once and more importantly HAVE FUN and go with the flow =)

Thanks we are going on the 31st of March. There is NO EMH that day at MK.

Do you think I should do a FP for Peter Pan?

My husband and I use scooters and waiting for an empty bus in the am often took extra time . I remember one time we waited for 3 buses:scared1: no worries we were on vacation. However if you have a specific res. you may want to leave your resort a bit earlier than if you did not have scooters.
