When it's busy

[50sjayne]

Here's some of my notes--reminders of what to do when it's insanely busy while we are there :
POTC and HM
Also pay attention to other things easy to do mid-day. At DCA the Animation Studios is a good activity to do. You can see Turtle Talk w Crush. TSMM can be done later afternoon or early eve with a reasonable line - 30 minutes. CA Screamin too.
At DL you can see Tiki Room with a short line any time. Captain EO seems to have a short wait if that interests you. Nemo Sub tends to die down late afternoon and early eve. Mark Twain, Columbia SS and PLATSI are all things that can be done in the afternoon with reasonably short lines.
Great Moments with Abe Lincoln at Disneyland and the Muppet or Bug 3D movies at DCA are good afternoon/evening things
When we arrive mid-to late in the day, we often will hop on the DL Railroad at Main Street and take the circle tour around the park. You can kind of get a perspective of how busy things are at various parts of the park during those times too. Big Thunder Mountain RR usually has a fairly quick return window for FP, even later in the day, so consider that one too.
Pooh Jungle Cruise, FP for Indy, Captain Eo Mr. Lincoln
Mark Twain, and check out the new stuff. Then we'll check out pirates lair as we didn't do that last time and have never seen it. Is it still a good place to go when it's crowded? Then I thought Try to see a Billy show or Aladdin
The new exhibit on Mainstreet.

Any other suggestions. the 2 days I'm worried about are Monday and Tuesday June 21-22n'd. I will mostly be in survival mode, but it's supposed to be fun right?
We'll have 3 blessed days of blocked ap's but that's when the inlaws arrive.
And we'll have the gad fast passes.

We will be arriving at DL midday (hopefully 12:00) on Tuesday the 22nd. My plan is to ride Indy single rider (for both me and dh b/c ds has chickened out!). While one of us rides the other will take the kids to Tarzan's treehouse. Then we'll do the Tiki room, Jungle Cruise, Pirate's Lair, maybe the 3:30 parade?, and try to see Tiana's Celebration. I like the train idea too. We have Goofy's dinner reservations at 5:00 that evening. After that we'll hit World of Disney and then back to hotel for some much needed sleep.

Good luck on Monday and Tuesday!

what about Inoventions....sometimes there is some good stuff to see or do and it ususally is not very busy....and it is a good place to get out of the heat.

We were there last October when the park entrance was closed because of huge crowds...to add insult to injury, my favorite nostalgia ride (DLRR) was down for refurb...so there were even more folks walking instead of riding the train around.
Just get there early in the AM, it is amazing how much you can get done in the first hour or so...

we collected our FPs, and never waited more than 30 mins all 3 days were were there, and for any ride or attraction. Single rider on a few rides like TOT and Cal Sreamin...

just relax and have fun. If you work at it you can have a great visit regardless of the crowds....most of the folks there don't know what we know

Blue Sky Cellar is a good place to take a little break, too. Or drink some wine at Wine Country Trattoria.

I forget about the single rider lines--thanks guys. Also Tiana, I want to see that-- we loved princess and the frog.

Ha ha Lisa-- I'm definitely checking out WCTT for us. I think the wine tasting we want is separate from the actual restaurant so I am definitely going to sleuth.
