trying to figure out Magic Kingdom morning in Fantasyland

[marielynn724]

Next week on Thursday I've got an 8:05 ADR at Be Our Guest. I was super excited when I booked it because the park opened at 9am and we'd get in the park early and be at Seven Dwarves Mine Train before anyone else. Then they expanded the park hours to 8am opening. I'm so annoyed! We didn't get a FP for SDMT because we didn't think we'd need one. If we try to be quick about our breakfast and get out of BoG around 8:30 or 8:45 - how long will the line for SDMT be if we go straight there? I'm hoping that early in the morning it won't be too bad, but I'm worried. I know the summer crowds are already starting...

If 7DMT is your goal, I'd cancel that BoG ADR. The breakfast isn't all that good anyway, but if you still want to go to BoG, see if you can get a later morning ADR. If you wait until 8:30-8:45, the line will already be longer than you want. Get to rope drop early, no later than 7:30, and head there first.

I agree with sharonabe. You are probably looking at a 70-80 minute standby wait.

If your goal is to hit Seven Dwarfs, get to the park early. Station yourself right next to one of the entries under the train. Arriving 15 minutes before park opening will put you behind a lot of people with most heading to Seven Dwarfs.

Thanks for the advice - pretty much what I figured. I managed to get BOG for another day and canceled the 8:05 so we can do rope drop.
