One day Magic Kingdom; I need ideas.

[KBLovedDisney]

Alright guys, I got one day to have fun at the Magic Kingdom in September. I need some plan of attack ideas.

Here are some notes

My favorites: Tomorrowland is my favorite land with Space Mountain and the Peoplemover being my second and third favorite rides. My absolute favorite ride of all is the Haunted Mansion.

Aside from my favorite rides are my must sees: It's a Small World, Pirates of the Caribbean, Philharmagic

Food has already been taken care of with breakfast at BOG and QS lunch and dinner, so I just need some direction ideas.

I don't want to try to do everything first and run out of energy real quick like, so what are your thoughts?

We always do breakfast at BOG and head right to 7DMT after or we do breakfast at Crystal Palace then head to POTC. Mornings are always the slowest do hit what's most important to you then. I generally schedule our first FP around 11 or so. Gives me enough time in the morning to hit all the rides I can while they have low wait times.

Also, if the Happily Ever After show isn't a must do, ride rides during that time!

If you have time before breakfast, I recommend starting your morning with POTC and HM since they usually have shorter waits in the morning.
I like doing It's a Small World and Philharmagic, and then People Mover during the heat of the afternoon.
I love Tomorrowland at night and agree that rides during Happily Ever After are a blast.
Take the WDW railroad if you want to get from one part of the park to another to help keep your energy up!
I hope you have a blast during your birthday trip. Way to treat yourself!!

Going by only the ones you mentioned....Head up Main ST and bear left getting into PoTC first, continue on to HM, then move over to Space Mtn before lines build. IASM usually isnt jammed up so theres no hurry for that. Philharmagic has plenty of seating so theres no hurry for that either. Peoplemover loads continuously and quickly and you can get on without a long wait either. Other than those 7dmt, Splash, BTMRR, would be ones I'd be targeting at the beginning and/or get FP+ for but you didnt mention those.

I love WDW in September. It's a ghost town some days! That being said, confirm your MK day is not a Halloween party day. Otherwise, they'll kick you out at 7pm.

If I were you, I'd knock out whatever you want to do in Fantasyland first before all the littles wake up and get there. Then I would move over to Liberty Square and then Adventureland. I would make FPs for the early afternoon at Splash and BTMR. Then I would grab the train and ride it over to Dumbo. If the line was short, I'd do dumbo and tea cups. I'd have my third FP for space mountain. Then I'd immediately make a FP for any tomorrowland attraction open the soonest (usually Buzz has some left), and do the peoplemover, COP, and MILF in the meantime. Then I would just continue to make FPs on whatever I could get on the soonest and bounce around the park riding rides.
