Where to go first in DL and DCA?

[psimon]

Which ride has the biggest line and the longest wait in DL an DCA? In other words, which attraction should I head to as my first in the morning?

Thanks.....

If you're going to be riding with small children then Dumbo first and then the other Fantasyland rides like Peter Pan, Mr Toad & Snow White. The other long lines have fast pass. If you plan on skipping the Fantasyland rides, Indiana Jones, PotC, Big Thunder and Haunted Mansion are all located close together and will have longer lines as the day gets later.

In DCA Soarin is the most popular ride near the front gate. There are a couple of rides on Paradise Pier that can have long lines, but it depends what kind of roller coasters you like if that is an issue.

DL we always start with the Mattahorn because there is no FP, my DH usually takes a quick run to get us FP for Autopia and then meets us in Fantasyland. If you get their when the park opens, you can do almost all the rides in Fantasyland before it gets crowded.

We've never arrived when DCA first opens. We go to DL first and then head over in the afternoon when DL gets crowded. We usually get a FP for Soarin first and then head for a movie or show.

Have fun!

Right now Splash Mountain gets the longest line--90+ minutes. Nothing else I saw yesterday came close (45 at both Indy and Buzz). I'm sure Space Mountain will have a really long one once it reopens.

At DCA, Soarin' is the first ride to go through it's FPs normally, though in hot weather, Grizzly River gives it a run for it's money. Both can have lines 60-120 minutes on crowded days.

We are a family with DD16, DS9 and DD9 and will be there in early November. We plan to do Fantasyland, but that won't be are primary target. The bigger rides are our goal.
