Hello all,
I am visiting Magic Kingdom on November 21st for the whole day.
My current FastPass+ are
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad from 8:50AM-9:50AM
Peter Pan’s Flight from 3:50PM-4:50PM
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train from 11:25PM-12:00AM
I am planning on keeping the first two, but I feel like I could Rope Drop Seven Dwarfs Mine Train instead of using the fastpass so late at night. Especially because I won’t be able to get my 4th fast pass until I use up my third one.
I wanted to know what people thought, if it was worth it to let go of my FP reservation for seven dwarfs mine train so I can get additional Fast passes throughout the day for other smaller rides.
Touring Plans says that MK will have a crowd level of 9/10.
That is extremely late. I say it depends on your party. If you have young kids, they may not last that long. That is a LONG day at the park. So, the first question is how long can your party last?
When we went to MK, we waited 2 hours to ride 7DT. I wish I had a FPP+ for it. I will be there on 11/20 and no FPP+ available for the ride. It is very popular and there will be a HUGE crowd. If you really want to ride it and your party can last, it may work out for you.
Last note, you can go to the FPP+ in my Disney experience and hit modify to see all of your other FPP+ choices prior to giving 7DT up. This may help your decision.
Definitely. Those Fast Passes are not too great at all - the park will be very crowded that day. I don’t know how many extra ones will be available during the day but I’d aim to use them between noon and 3 pm. I’d consider rope dropping Peter Pan or Big Thunder. (7 Dwarves is NOT worth waiting any significant length of time for at any rate IMO - I’d rather ride Big Thunder 4 times in a row at rope drop than wait an hour for 7 Dwarves).
I am not sure how early you plan at getting to the park but I would consider arriving to the turnstiles by 7:15. You could RD both SDMT and PP and then free up two FPs. for when the park gets more crowded. I know this may not work for your family but just a suggestion. I have RD both and been done 30-40 minutes after park opening. You’ll make up all that time plus some as the day goes on.
