Afternoon+Evening at MK on a high crowd level

[makesmewonder]

Hello everyone,

I'll be at Walt Disney World with some friends in august. We plan to visit the Magic Kingdom during a day with evening extra magic hours. According to TP, this date is considered as a 9 crowd level, and the parks will close at 2am.
Since we already know by heart the French resort (we are passholders for years), we have therefore decided to arrive at the Magic Kingdom around 2pm and to mainly focus on attractions and areas that are different from the parisian park. We have fastpasses for the 7 dwarfs Mine, Space Mountain and Splash Mountain. We also have an ADR for Be Our Guest at 10:40 pm and we want to see both parades.

My question is, do you think we'll stil have enough time to enjoy the park in general and to ride 4-5 other attractions, including POCT, Haunted Mansion, Philarmagic, plus some meet and greets ? Since we want to enjoy the park at night, I think we'll leave around 1am, which will give us already 11 hours in a row inside the park. Is it enough considering the crowds ?

Thanks for you help !

It depends how long you want to stand in line and how long you hope you'll have to explore the rest of the park.

August IS VERY BUSY. You'll be looking at Stand-By of 90 minutes each (minimum) for POTC, HM and the M+Gs. Philharmagic could be around an hour.

90 minutes for POTC or HM, really ? I've never seen such long wait times on the app or the TP tools for August. Same for Philharmagic. Each time I check, it's between 10-20mn all day long. August is not supposed to be less crowded than July?

I've been in August three times - you'll get a 10-20 minute line at park opening and before the main crowds arrive. By late morning you're looking at 60 mins minimum and it increases during the afternoon
