WHAT do you think of my late May Plans?

[technodisney]

Going end of may 2017.

What do you guys think of these plans I have made?

Day 1
DCA: https://touringplans.com/plans/print?id=2390752
DL: https://touringplans.com/plans/print?id=2390770
Day 2
DCA: https://touringplans.com/plans/print?id=2390863
DL: https://touringplans.com/plans/print?id=2390842

We will be spending 2 more days at the parks going over what we missed or repeating rides.

What kind of party are we talking? (Kids? Ages?) also, I'm assuming your a hotel guest with the EMH at DCA?

Just remember May 24 is a grad nite so don't plan on hitting much of anything in DL after 6pm.

Full disclosure: I've never used TP. I think your plan is too aggressive for a 4 day trip but I'm not a park commando type. As for the plan itself I just don't see how you can do all those rides that fast. I would have at least another hour in there on Day 1 for DCA and I still don't see you making it. As for DL, I only think you'll be able to do half that list before closing.

Start looking at the Disneyland app waitimes on the days of your trip. (Today is Sunday so pull out your Sunday plan, look at where you should be and see if the wait times are accurate.) And remember, crowds are extra heavy always now in DL with so many areas and high capacity attractions offline, that means it's slow going from one ride to the next.

Day 2- again I don't think your DL schedule is possible. Something is really off here... I'm gonna blame TPs expected wait times. 23 mins for PP at 9:27am? The only time you get to wait 20 mins for PP is if you are amongst the first in line after morning rope drop. Otherwise it is at least 45 mins always. DCA looks fine that day but those are all walk on rides, I would say you might faint of boredom but maybe you have someone under age 12? But again if they're down with HyperSpace Mtn they'd be bored with those rides. As for Frozen you might want to ask on the boards when you need to line up. People do wait as long as an hour before showtime for a good seat & for some reason I think you are required to be there 15 mins before it starts but I'm not sure on that!

The wait time on there for Peter Pan is way off. It will be 35-45 minutes...closer to 45.

Do you have kids? I assume you do since many of the attractions you're hitting are geared toward kids. This plan would be too intense for just DH and I, and we don't have kids. We go for 1-2 days at a time and we tour pretty commando, but not this intense. I imagine with kids this would be pretty rough.

I agree with Pluto. Some of the DL wait times seem really short, especially PP. I'm also not so sure you'll have 5 min lines after the fireworks, for one thing. I mean, it's possible I guess and it IS Sunday, but still seems ambitious. And I've stayed late plenty of times in all kinds of seasons.

I'm also not convinced FP return times are predictable enough to build a schedule around, but then, I've never gone quite that commando and tried it before. We're more the type that go in knowing what we want to do and have a few general ideas and options for getting it accomplished. We then use the wait times apps and fast passes all day.

I think having a plan is great if that's you style, but don't be attached to it to the point where you'll be disappointed if it doesn't work out this way. That's my biggest worry seeing this. You have 4 days - you can afford to slow it down a little.
