Walk on Attractions after 7:00 PM

[jomass]

We are going on a 4/10 crowd day to MK. We have 8:10 AM BOG ADR, so we will have a good morning jump. The plan is to take in what we can without FP by like 2:00 PM. Then return about 6:00 PM. We have FP for 7DMT and either Splash or ETWB. Those will be done by about 7:30. That leaves about 2 hours to kill before Wishes. We have FP for Wishes as well. I’d like some suggestions for other rides with minimal stand by waits. We will have a 4 year old in tow, so ideally I’m looking for things to keep her amused. Tour plans shows very short waits for Dumbo and Barnstormer at that time. I’m not sure how accurate that is but………..

Less popular attractions are your best bet for shorter lines in the evening - Carousel of Progress, Stitch, Country Bears Jamboree, Hall of Presidents, Tikki Room, etc. Maybe Cinderella's Carousel and People Mover - those may or may not be busy at that time.

Some of these may not be entertaining or ideal for a 4 year old - Stitch might scare her, Hall Of Presidents might bore her to sleep. Or maybe not.

Waiting in line for Dumbo seems not too terrible now that there's a play area and a buzzer alert system. A simple train ride around the parks could be fun for her too. You can get into the Wishes FP area pretty early I think, and sit and relax on the astroturf, take a break.

thanks for the tips. I never even considered the train ride, but that would be perfect as she likes trains. I don't think any of us want to suffer through stitch...LOL
What is the Dumbo buzzer alert system? I never heard of this one.

Like at a restaurant where you might sit at the bar waiting for your table...you check in and are given a communication device that buzzes or lights up and instead of just waiting in a line, you can pass the time at different play areas around Dumbo.
When it is your turn to ride, the device goes off and you return it and board the attraction.

My kids can spend a hour in the Dumbo play area. They give you a buzzer like at restaurants. You go play and when it's your turn to ride, they buzz you. Speedway may not be too bad, perhaps 20mins? People will start lining up for the parade around 8pm. Tea cups shouldn't be too bad either.

I'd pick which side you're watching Wishes, and stick to rides on that side.

Buzz lightyear seems to slow down getting close to wishes sometimes too. Could have several attractions in Tomorrowland to do, and it is close to the hub.

If only we could get a pager to virtually hold our place in line on every ride!

 

[jomass]

very cool. Is this the only attraction using this system?

Typically we see minimal waits at jungle cruise in the evening. If you are there after dark, definitely ride that one! We always do it once during the day and once after dark because the feeling of the ride changes. We all prefer it after dark.

We love the Tomorrowland People Mover. It's a fun, long ride, we have never really waited in any line, and especially if your DD likes trains I highly recommend it.
