What order rides on a busy day?

[Sophie_2003]

hello,

Looking for some advice, going to Disneyland tomorrow for one day. 2 of us with MaxPass.

We’d like to do these rides and minimize wait

Space mountain
Indiana Jones
Splash mountain
Haunted mansion
It’s a small world

Any suggestion on what to rope drop (considering there is a 7am opening before we can get in at 8) and what to MaxPass first?

Go Space, in line for Space book Indy FP, then it's a small world, Indy with MaxPass, while in the queue for Indy book FP for Splash, then Haunted Mansion, then FP for Splash!

Hope this helps!

If you only focus on those 5 rides you will mess up the day on everything else. Especially non-Fastpass attractions

I am assuming you do not want to do any small attractions in Fantasyland
#1 Buy your tickets early
#2 Arrive to the entrance 30 minutes early (730am). Keep in mind that opening has been extremely busy and waits to get through security haven been about 20-30 minutes. You want to arrive at the parking areas an hour before opening (7am). The goal is to be inside of the park and headed towards the castle with 5-10 minutes to spare before opening
#3 Pull FP for Indiana Jones before park opening using MaxPass

Then you do this...
Park opens head to Frontierland and ride Big Thunder Mountain without FP
Ride Jungle Cruise next, grab FP for Haunted Mansion Holiday
Ride Pirates of the Caribbean, use FP for Indiana Jones
It should be close to 10am. grab FP for Space Mountain, if you get to Splash Mountain by 10am-1010am the wait will only be about 5-15 minutes aka no need to use FP.
then use FP for Haunted Mansion Holiday.
Now you will have time to relax. Look for any non-FP attraction that has a wait of 20 minutes or less
The next FP you want after Space Mountain is for Star Tours, then Matterhorn, then Small World, finally Buzz Astroblasters
