We were there from 10/12-17, stayed at BLT for the first time and DH and I had the best time! I must thank this Board for all the great tips and tricks – I think that DH was actually impressed with my above average planning that we actually pulled off!
Most notably was HS – I booked a 7:30am breakfast at Trattoria, which was delicious, out the door before 8:30 and walked to HS (this was a Wednesday) – in line outside by 8:45, walked to the health screening lines by 9am and inside by 9:15! Walked quickly to M&M and was off there by 9:35ish – it was great!
We then popped over to Slinky and here is where it got tricky…JUST AS we got to the load area, it was 10am….I asked nicely if we could skip our load and they said yes, put us to the side and we got boarding group #32 for RISE!!
We then did Saucers, Toy Story x 2 – that line would show 45-50 wait and was never more than 20 min
Rise at 12noon and then by the time we were off, it was time for our 12:45 @ 50s PT!
On our 2nd MK day we were out the door by 8am, and walking into MK by 8:15 – managed to ride Mine Train, Peter Pan, Pooh, Jungle Cruise by 9am and then walked on to Pirates, and then did Splash and Big Thunder by 10am – it was a great and very productive morning!!
We go back in Dec for DS’s late-but-not-never HS graduation trip and I’m ready! I made some adjustments to our plan based on what worked/didn’t work for us on this last trip and I can’t wait to see the Christmas decorations – this was our first time to see fall and Christmas decorations!
Then we’re back again in late February to take my cousin who hasn’t been – I can’t wait to go with a “newbie” and show her all the fabulous things!!
I would say, that if this is your first time, you might wait – there are obvious things missing, like characters and parades and fireworks, but this wasn’t our first, or last trip and we had a blast!
