Will this /Parade/SM/BOG schedule work?

[Surgie2]

Watch 3:00 parade near Hall of Presidents

Space FP 3:05-4:05 (3 adults, 2 kids in the group)

Check in to BOG at 4:10 for 4:25 reservation (other 3 adults and 2 kids not riding SM can get there by 4:10)

Will the Space Mountain group have time to go from the parade to ride Space and back to BOG by 4:25?

ETA - I could also get a 3:30-4:30 FP

I don't think you need to change your FP, but your SM group may be late for ADR. Have those who can try to check in, so they know you're there, but I'm pretty sure they will tell you you have to wait until all are present to check in.

The SM group should be able to leave HOP around 3:40. If they walk quickly, and don't have much of a wait, they should be on the ride by 4:00-4:05. Then they'll have to walk quickly back to the BoG check-in to join up with you. It will be very close to 4:25 by the time they can get there.

Would there be a more efficient location to watch the parade to get the SM group going more quickly? We'd all like to stay together for the parade but we are not committed to needing to be in from top HoP.

HoP is a good choice. Just make sure you're standing somewhere they can easily get around to the backside to scoot through Fantasyland to Tomorrowland. That's the long way around, but it's their only choice with the parade going on.

Here's a link to Robo's maps to get you oriented: https://www.disboards.com/threads/maps-of-wdw-by-robo-65-maps-more.3545729/#post-56460944

Why not stake out a spot for the parade in the hub directly in front of the bridge to Tomorrowland? The parade hits the Hub at about 3:15 pm and lasts about 25 minutes, so it should be past you, in that area around 3:40/3:45 pm. You can then simply turn around, enter Tomorrowland and go to Space Mountain. If the FP+ line isn't too long, you should be done with SM by 4:15 pm or so. They can then hot-foot it to BOG.

I would not watch the parade from HoP if you need to get to SM. You will have to cut all the way around Fantasyland to Tomorrowland and that will take up a lot of time. We did this at MVMCP last year. We had reservations for the dessert party, so I thought we would stake out a not-so-crowded spot in Frontierland (which we did) and then walk through Fantasyland to the Tomorrowland Terrace. It just wasn't worth it. We were literally jogging through Fantasyland and around the castle to make it there on time.

I *think* you can make it, but it sounds stressful to me. Why not make the SM FP for later, after BOG? If anything goes wrong I wouldn't want to risk being late for the ADR. I'd space it out more.

I agree. I find that when I time things too closely, I tend to spend more time worrying about where I need to get to than where I am.
