New fantasyland touring plan - The DIS Discussion Forums

richsm5 · 11-21-2012, 07:25 PM

We are leaving in 10 days for our first trip-yay!! I have 2 little girls so our trip is going to be centered around fantasyland and charachter meet and greets. With the new attractions now open in fantasyland can someone help with a basic outline of what order to do things? I know that Dumbo, Peter Pan and Winnie the Pooh should be done first, but where does storytime with Belle, Little Mermaid and the goofy coaster fit in?
We plan to be there at rope drop and go right to fantasyland and move as quick as we can until 11:00 for lunch at BOG, grabbing a FP for something (not sure what yet) before we eat, then slowing down a little more in the afternoon and doing more charachter meets.
Does that sound good? If anyone can give me any additional detailed info I would really appreciate it!
To note, we will have a second day at MK but are doing CRT at 9:55 so the morning will be kind of blown then.

thank you!!

Okay we were there 11/3 - 11/10. They did dress rehearsals. I would get a fp for peter pan, go do story time with Belle, which spoiler alert blew us away. The do little mermaid ride then mermaid meet and greet ride pan, hit pooh on the way to dumbo which u should go and go see donaldo and friends.

We just went and this is what we did....

FP Peter Pan as soon as we got to the park. We missed it last trip and wanted to see what the fuss was about. I will just say we will not be doing Peter Pan ever again

We then got a FP for Little Mermaid ride and headed to Ariels Grotto. The line for Ariel wasn't long and the wait was maybe 15 minutes. The ride was down when we went to go back to Little Mermaid so we went to Story time with Belle. It was over a 40 minute wait (which may have been longer though) however I would have waited longer after seeing what it was all about! LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED IT! Highly recommend it if you are a Belle fan (which we are). Best part of FL in my opinion and bet that there will be other things like this to follow with other Princesses.

We did Dumbo and BrainStormer almost when the fireworks started because it's shorter wait times. We rode BrainStormer back to back 4-5 times and usually it has over a 45wait time.

How did you get fast passes for Peter Pan and Little Mermaid so close in time? Or did you other stuff between getting the two fast passes?

LOL do you not like roller coasters? The Barnstormer is really mild in comparison to some other rides around the parks.

Subbing too. This will be our first trip where CMs pay attention to FP times. We have been so spoiled in the past. I'm not sure where to go first. With 6 and 2 yr old little girls we need a plan!!!!

If you insist on riding Peter Pans Flight, get a fastpass for that right away. While holding onto that fastpass, I would run around and meet characters, or wait in the line for Enchanted Tales with Belle. [Since this is now Soft Opened, the line can get really long really fast.]

Once you ride Peter Pans Flight, I would grab a fastpass for Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid. We were posting wait times of 85-90 minutes in the standby line yesterday. While holding the Under the Sea fast pass, head over to the circus to wait for Dumbo or Barnstormer. Or, meet some of the characters. From there, the opening between the circus and NFL should be open so you can pop right back over to Under the Sea. You'll run into Ariels Grotto first if you go this way, so you can always stop by to say hi. :D

Have a good trip!
