Hey guys! We leave early Wednesday morning for our trip to Disney World! We are staying 1/10-4/17 at AoA- Cars suite. I am super excited because we haven't been in a little over 4 years and each day before has been dragging on because i can't wait anymore! Anyways, I was thinking about how i was going to make my way through completing Magic Kingdom and getting what we want done and I have no clue whatsoever. I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea as to what they do when tackling Magic Kingdom, it would be very helpful. It would be even better if someone would tell me what to do in order to get the most done including tips and what lands to start in. Anything is helpful really, I just am really Stressed about MK. (I also need some fastpass tips on when and where to get them) Keep in mind I will be spending 2 1/2 days of my trip in MK and will be wanting to spend most our time in Fantastland and tomorrowland. We also plan to go on peter pans flight, space mountain,splash mountain (this is my first time ever on splash
)pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion,and buzz Lightyear at least 2 times and most of them 3. I really need some advice and I have 6 days to come up with some sort of idea of what im going to do so I would really appreciate help from you guys, Thanks!!
Ok, you're excited, time to calm down some
First off, the park is going to be there, it's not going anywhere, you have 2.5 days in the MK, so no need to rush. Asking everyone on here for a detailed list of what to do, when to do it and how to do it is like asking everyone for instructions on how to make Thanksgiving dinner... You're gonna get 5000 ways to do the same thing, that everyone will argue over, saying that their way is the best.
You have a list of things that you want to accomplish in your original post. That's a start. I would sit down now, download a park map, and start charting a GENERAL course. Ride closures (be it refurb or the ride is just down for a certain time), tour groups, and WEATHER are going to possibly weigh in on how you do everything. You have said you want to do the different lands, ok, good, rank them and go from there. Fastpasses are your friend, as well as an enemy. I would say to only get the FP's for rides that you're going to need them for. There are plenty of rides that utilize FPs that you don't necessarily need to have one for.
As for the website that someone else said that costs you money to make a plan... Dump it... If you can organize on paper, you don't need to pay a website for something that is free (sounds like that is a cheap bump for someone's personal business).
Take advantage of any Extra Hours, whether they are morning or night, and think about that in your plans. If you're not wanting to watch Wishes! from infront of the castle for a nighttime EMH, run and hit up as many rides as you can. While people are watching the fireworks, lines are typically low. Dumbo during Wishes! is awesome. The HM at night is fun too, totally different atmosphere than the daytime.
I wouldn't go commando mode and try to plan out every second, but make a checklist and put down the things you want to do. As you do them, check them off. You can add or subtract from the list.
Right now, like I said, just download a park map for free, study it, and just start making a plan. You can do it!!!
It'll be interesting though to see how many people rank everything and say their way is the best to do it LOL!!!!
Just remember, if we all did the parks the same way, there'd be a lot of open rides because everyone would be waiting for the same thing!!!!
