What should you do after Nemo on a regular rope drop day?

Which ride shoud you head to after Nemo on a regular (Wednesday, June 23) rope drop day? We can get there early to wait in line. We thought we'd head straight to Nemo and get a FP for something (Autopia, Buzz...) I'm going to probably be the only one to ride Space Mountain (ds 6 might be too scared).

Definitely Buzz, Autopia, stuff around that area. Then perhaps you could hop to DCA and ride Toy Story at DCA's rope drop.

If you want to do Indy or splase mountain, get those fast passes first. Also those lines shouldn't be too bad. Nemo is not that busy anymore either.

We will also definately want to do Princess Fantasy Faire and Pixie Hollow while we're there. Could we go ride TSMM a couple of times and then head back to one of those-or would they be too busy by then.

Ok I'm making some educated assumptions here. But...

Let's say DL opens at 8AM and DCA opens at 9. If you squeeze Nemo, Buzz and Autopia in that first hour from 8-8:45ish, then you hop to DCA before 9, you should be able to hit TSMM with a short wait. If you want to ride TSMM again, you might be waiting 30+ min.

If you ride it only once, and then you return to DL for PFF or PH (that's a lot of walking first of all), the lines for those might be 20-30 minutes already. If PFF and PH are priorities, I would save TSMM for a different morning and just go to one of them right after Nemo/Buzz/Autopia on Wednesday morning! That sounds like a good plan. Remember PFF and PH don't open until an hour after park opening, so 9AM.

I think that's what we'll do. We can do opening on that Friday at DCA (after an early breakfast at Minnie's). We have ridden TSMM on two different trips to WDW, so once or twice will be enough for us. What time does DCA usually open during the summer?

In the past 10AM. However this past Spring it has been opening at 9 quite a bit, so 9 would probably be the better guess, especially with the increase in crowds being brought in by WoC.
