Always Looking for Liner Input to my WDW Plans

Here is my current plan. Thoughts? Suggestions? Changes?

DW, DD11, DS9 and me. Staying at BLT. 4 park days in a row. The first park day will be 7+1. Highest priorities for the kids are GotG, SDD, Tron, SM and BTMRR.

Day 1 (7+1): MK with prebooked LLMP and LLSP for Tron and 7DMT.

Plan to arrive around 9:30 am and can stay until 6:00 pm. Must do’s are BTMRR, TBA, SM, HM, Buzz, IaSW, PotC, Tron and 7BMT. It’s a party day so I’m hoping lines will be short enough to get a second ride waiting stand-by on each of BTMRR and SM.

I will try to get LLs for SDD and TSM at the late afternoon Drop in which case we would offer the kids the option of a evening hop over to HS.

Day 2 (7+2): Preook LLPP for EP. I’ve never purchased LLPP for EP before, but I thought it made sense in the context of our overall plans. Will also get LLMP and a LLSP for MK to prebook evening rides on BTMRR, Buzz, a second Tier 2 and Tron.

Arrive before the end of Early Entry to beat the regular RD crowd to GotG for standby. That will get us a 3rd GotG ride for the day with the LLPP ride and LLSP ride. Enjoy EP without looking at my phone and plan to stay until about 4:00 pm.

MK in the evening.

Day 3 (7+3): Prebook LLMP (SDD, TSM Tot) and LLSP (Rise) for HS. Arrive HS around 9:30 am. Here is where is gets dicey as we would like to get MMRR and RnRc LLs same day, but will depend on the earliest times we can pre-book for TSM and ToT and when the MMRR and RnRc LLs run out. I don’t want to rely on drops for SDD, TSM or ToT so that’s why those will be my 3 prebooks. Maybe I try to get everyone out the door a title earlier in the morning and ride MMRR standby?

Also, prebook 8:00 pm LLSP for GotG and hop to EP at the end of the night.

Day 4: 10:00-Noon Fishing excursion at CR

5:30 pm - 12:30 pm HS/Jollywood. We will likely plan to see Fantasmic and then during the party mostly rides and Jingle BAM. If we aren’t able to get LLs for RnRc and MMRR on Day 3, then we can ride at Jollywood.

We have never been to Jollywood, but since it is our last night, we thought we would give it a try. My kids love MVMCP, but we have learned that the parties are best for our last night since my kids like to stay until the end.

Judging by times past, you’ll be happy with this plan.

Takes out the guesswork. I would ride TT as early in the day as possible because oh my goodness has that ride been having issues with downtime. Maybe it will be better by the time that you go.

If it were me, I might consider LLPP for HS instead of Epcot. I also would book RnRC (that LINE when we were there, but, again, maybe the new will have worn off) and get SDD on a drop. I know you said you don’t want drops, but they are pretty reliable (and easy to get, IMHO). I think getting MMRR will be tough–that might be a stand-by wait for you. It’s doable.

Never been, but lots of people like it very much.

Happy planning! Hope you have a fantastic trip!

We will go to GotG first during Early Entry and then walk over to TT to use our LL.

It’s a good thought which I generally agree with. My original plan was to get LLPP for HS, but we did that last year and DS9 bailed on RnRc and ToT at the last minute so neither he nor I used our LLPP for those two rides. He may ride both this year, but it seems like a waste to get LLPP for HS again with that unknown. I also think we will have a chance to ride RnRc and MMRR with relatively low line during Jollywood if we can’t get same day LLMPs the prior day so that pushed me away from LLPP for HS too.

I never thought I would consider LLPP for EP, but when I looked at our plans as a whole, it seemed to get us closer to the overall 4 day experience we are ideally looking for.

That all makes perfect sense!
