Will it Fit?

[Becky_Boop]

OK, I was wondering if me and my family would be able to do these things in Magic Kingdom in two days, at a pretty relaxed pace with multiple bathroom breaks and maybe a few other rides. This will be President's Week. My mother is in a wheelchair, which may speed some things up.

Look Around Main Street
Mickey’s Philharmagic
Cinderellabration
Tomorrowland Arcade(sister likes it a lot-maybe an hour?)
Indy Speedway
Dumbo the Flying Elephant
Peter Pan’s Flight
Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Mad Tea Party
PotC
Jungle Cruise
Share A Dream Come True Parade
Cinderella’s Royal Table (Breakfast or Lunch)
Crystal Palace (Breakfast)
Tony’s Town Square (Dinner)
Pinnochio Village Haus (Maybe Lunch, Second Day)

Just so you know, breakfast and dinner on the second day are at other places, and I won't be missing Spectromagic or Wishes, that's for our first night

By the way, when should I get my ADR for Cinderella's Royal Table?

Make the ADR for CRT as soon as the 180 window opens ... I think it is hard to get into. We did CRT for dinner which does not have the princesses but was fun too (and easier to get ADRs for).

Anyway, we did ALL the things you have listed, except for the parades (we were there for the parades ... eating dinner one time (SPECTRO) and ... I guess riding rides the other time all at a relaxed pace. We did not do the ARCADES but we did more rides than you have listed all the week before Presidents day. It may get a little more crowded the week OF Presidents day but I think you will be able to complete your list with no problem.

Fast Pass Peter Pan and Jungle Cruise... maybe ride Dumbo during the second day during Spectromagic. We actually had ADRs outside of MK the second day so left early. I think you will have time to ride things you don't have listed.

My DH and I are eating at Tony's this November for lunch. I hope it is good! Cinderellabration will be gone by December but I'm sure the new show at the castle will be just as good. Have a great time! I think you are on the right track with your planning.

180 days... hmmm... that's around 6 months. Late August, I think. OK, sounds good. I love the characters, and haven't met a princess yet. We need this character breakfast DESPERATELY.

We're not really fastpass people, and we haven't done it yet. No idea why. But I might like to try it this time, and if we don't, it'll take the full two days.

Cinderellabration will be gone by December but I'm sure the new show at the castle will be just as good.

*Smacks forehead* Duh! Why didn't I think of that? Oh well, I'll call it the "castle show" in my itinerary until October.

Thank you for the great tips.

I should have mentioned we also did MK in two days, just like you were planning.

From what I read, the Princess Breakfast at CRT is REALLY hard to get soooo ... if you don't maybe you can plan Chef Mickey at the Contemporary. Once you are at the Contemporary, the monorail is one stop to MK. I know it isn't princess but I think easier to get. I've heard raves about the character interaction there. I recommended it to a coworker who is going in January. There is a princess breakfast at Epcot (Norway) too.

I was leery about fastpass ... but my DH caught on immediately. We used it when we tried to get on our first attraction at Epcot. So easy ... just put your pass in and out comes a ticket and you run off and do other things for an hour and no wait at the ride you wanted. You need to give it a try!!! I think you will LOVE it!

Keeping my fingers crossed for your ADR at CRT ... but even if you don't get it, there are so many other magical things to do!

My mother is in a wheelchair, which may speed some things up.

In general, it won't speed things up (other than making her faster getting from place to place). Most attractions have lines that are wheelchair accessible, so you won't speed things up in line.

For Pirates, if she has a folding manual wheelchair, it can be brought on the boat with you. Otherwise, she will have to switch to a folding wheelchair at the ride entrance.

If you are staying on site can you do one day at MK during AM EMH? We found that we could do all of Fantasyland (where a lot of your rides are), in the first hour. Just do Dumbo first! You might want to check out the Unofficial Guide to WDW (most libraries have at least an old copy). In there it talks about the "Dumbo or Die" plan--and why it is best to do Dumbo first thing, and how to position yourself to get there early! Even if you don't want to tour "commando" style, it is still helpful to understand how the rides load and when the lines start to back up. With Fantasyland completely enjoyed in an hour we were able to do lots more we didn't think we would have time for, and do lots 2x!

Even if you don't go for EMH, the best tip is to arrive at the parks BEFORE they open. You should still be able to enjoy all of Fantasyland with lower crowds than you will find midday.

We're doing Chef Mickey for dinner on the first night, but there are definitely so many other magical things to do if I can't go to Cindy's! I'll try breakfast AND lunch for that. If I can convince my family that fastpasses are great, I'll do the fastpasses.

My family members are DEFINITELY NOT morning people, so we only get there early if we have an early breakfast ADR. Morning EMH is impossible. I'm considering not doing Dumbo, and doing Magic Carpets of Aladdin instead. The only con is that I have been on Magic Carpets of Aladdin, but not Dumbo. We'll have to see the line when we get there.
