Okay. I’m going to try and contribute to this excellent thread.
31 January 2022, 5:15pm arrival at MK with
genie+, no ILL$. 8pm fireworks, 9pm close
Accomplished 8 rides, ice-cream snack, dinner, fireworks(off center view).
8:55am booked jungle cruise LL for 5:30pm
11am booked PP LL for 5:40pm
1pm booked BTMRR for 5:30pm
3pm booked haunted mansion for 7:45pm
5pm booked Buzz for 7:25pm
we arrived shortly after 5pm with 5 LL in hand. After eating ice cream we hit:
jungle cruise
big thunder
Peter pan
After PP we did IASW on standby. While in line we mobile ordered dinner in Tomorrowland. After iasw we rode buzz then picked up dinner.
after dinner we sauntered up to the tommorrowland bridge and watched the fireworks from there. Then we booked to space mountain for a walk onto the ride after fireworks. Then we went to HM and used our last LL there.
got off HM at 8:45 and went to 7DMT for our last ride with a 25 minute wait (actual) in standby.
For us this was a good use of stacking and we accomplished so much in about 4 hours. It was a great evening. Much better than our rope drop fiascos have been this week.
My observations :
Booking three LL for the same time window is scary, but not a problem we had no problem hitting these three even with the walking. I would not advise 4. Unfortunately, since you can’t choose your times you have to pick based on time on the fly.
I would not book more than 1 LL after fireworks if there is only 1 hour of park time after fireworks. Immediately after fireworks you don’t need LL since the lines are short. LL for your second ride after fireworks is key to being able to ride a third after fireworks. Standby for your second ride after fireworks will probably put you past closing when you finish.
