What FPs do I want for MK and AK

[TamiTaylor]

5 adults and a 3yo (39in almost 40in tall) boy. Loves Mickey, Toy Story, most Disney/Pixar movies and animals.
Day 1 is MK
Day 2 is AK/pool day
Day 3 is MK again

We have a pre-park opening ADR for our 2nd MK day.

At Magic Kingdom we definitely want to do:
Haunted Mansion
7DMT
Barnstormer
Peter Pan
Dumbo (he loves Dumbo)
Small World
That Buzz thing
Winnie the Pooh
Under the Sea (don't care about the Meet and Greet with Ariel)
Pirates of the Caribbean
Jungle Cruise
Monsters Inc
Space Mt (Eric and I will come back @ night to do it)


At Animal Kingdom we definitely want to do:
Safari
Lion King or Finding Nemo
TriceraTop Spin
Kali River Rapids
Rivers of Lights if it actually opens

TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO FP.

I NEED HELP!!!

At MK I would definitely FP Mine train and Peter Pan. Probably would try to get Buzz and Pirates as well. Not sure if you will need a FP for Space if you are coming back in the evening.

We had a pre-RD ADR at BOG and we basically walked on under the sea when we were done. From there I think we headed to dumbo and barnstormer with minimal waits.

At AK I would do the safari and ROL. We did not try Kali so not sure if that should be put ahead of the shows but I would lean towards that being the third.

I would definitely do fast passes for:
7 dwarfs
Peter Pan (I find it to be just ok, but that wait can be crazy without a FP)
Pirates
Buzz light year ride
Haunted mansion
Space Mountain
My kids also absolutely loved splash mountain and big thunder mountain, my youngest was just 40 inches also
Dumbo has a nice play area to kill time waiting
Barnstormer we walked on 3 times in a row
Small world we walked on also
Under the seas is a constantly moving ride so the wait doesn't get to be too bad
If the 5yr old likes characters, in fantasyland by dumbo there is a hidden area at the big top circus where 4 characters, a lot of people don't notice this because it's not in the main area. Check it out!

At Animal Kingdom fast pass
Safari
Kali river Rapids
And either lion king or nemo

Make sure after you use your 3 fast passes for the day you add another, soon you will be able to do this from your phone instead of a kiosk. We ended up getting 6 fast passes in one day last trip and it was awesome!

We go to Disney every year and last month I did all the planning and fast passes for 12 people, if you have any questions ask!

What is this hidden area? Is it the one with Pete, Minnie, and Daisy?

(Lol at me responding like I'm an expert.)

Peter Pan - line is CRAZY and just a basic queue
Dumbo (he loves Dumbo) - line is a queue, but has a play place in the middle where one can wait with the kid. Super convenient!
Winnie the Pooh - line is super entertaining for kids (at least the 5 kids I was there with). Lots of fun interactives.
Monsters Inc - don't FP this. Line is a mass crowd and moves quickly.

At Animal Kingdom we definitely want to do:
Safari - 100% FP the night you get availability. This was the best thing at AK.
Lion King or Finding Nemo - Nemo had availability for our 11am show, but FP if you have space.
TriceraTop Spin - line moved super quick and there was never a huge line the day we were there.

Did you like the Monsters Inc show?

[ribollita]

Have you read these touring plans? I LOVE them because it tells you exactly how to tour efficiently and which FP to choose (and which times!), but it isn't rushed. There is also minimal crossing the park.

MK: www.easywdw.com/easy/magic-kingdom/magic-kingdom-touring-plans-rope-drop-wait-times-and-fastpass-priority/

AK: www.easywdw.com/easy/animal-kingdom/animal-kingdom-touring-plans-rope-drop-wait-times-and-fastpass-priority/

When we go next we are basically following these over 3 days:
MK: Two-Day Morning Plan Day 1
MK: Two-Day Morning Plan Day 2
MK: Two-Day Character-Centric Morning Plan Day 1

AK: TBD

ETA: For AK I am really waiting to see what happens with ROL. I am hoping to get a dining package but will also scoop up a FP if they become available. My main concern is it starting so late when we go our next trip; I may wait until a following trip when the sun sets earlier and hopefully the show starts earlier.

I think it's cute but almost all of the jokes go way over my 4yo's head. He loves Mike Wazowski though so enjoys it.

Pete is just a picture on the outside of the tent. Inside is Minnie and Daisy on one side, Goofy and Donald on the other side. Costumes are a bit strange but lines are almost always low. One line for each side.

[TamiTaylor]

Bump. I'm making them in 30min.

[curbsideprophet]

How did it go?

Well, I was early by a day. I realized that after 1.5hr of trying and cussing and crying. So basically I am an idiot. I am doing it tonight.

[huskymom]

Oh no! If it helps, I just did mine the last FIVE nights (bc off property) and the only thing I couldn't get was Anna and Elsa (which, if my kids don't know is a thing, they won't know!). Even 30 days out it wasn't an issue to get 7dMT (but a later time than I would have preferred).

Sorry, that sucks
