I actually choose to use them on separate days and it did work better.. I think. I didn't miss ANY of the ceremony and due to this forum knew the best place to stand
.
I got the the maingate at 7:45 and was at Toontown at 8:10, I stopped and got Buzz Lightyear FP's and had to wait for my Sister with the stroller, she meandered... LOL, I would have been there about 8:05 if it was just me with the stroller. The ceremony starts about 20min after the hour. The only benefit I saw to going earlier than I did would have been to do some of the toontown activities before the ceremony. As it was we got a pick with Minnie, my DS age 3 1/2 didn't want pics with the other characters, the lines were moving fairly quickly. But we went on Gaget's Go Coaster 3 times, then walked around checked out Chip and Dales playhouse, Donald's boat where he promptly triped and hit his head on the steering wheel in the pilot house!
Goofy's Bounce house wouldn't let me sit inside the room with the CM so we skipped that, and went to check out the other fun stuff, we didn't rid RR but the rest of our party did, we also checked out the Gag Factory. Then headed to another part of the park.
I put this on our last day of the parks, so I would make sure to get in the rides we most wanted to do.. Fantasyland and Tomorrowland the first day - with our EE. The toontown day I scheduled the other lands, NO, CC, Frontierland, and Adventureland. I would have been able to complete the schedule and have gone on everything if I hadn't lost my wallet, or if my Dad's foot hadn't started hurting,... so he had to walk slow, I felt so bad for him! I missed Tom Sawyer's Island and Tarzan's Treehouse, but did get in Reindeer Roundup, Aladdin and Jasmine's Storytime, Starcade and rode Buzz 4-5times! We got to the parks at opening and left about 6:30-7:30pm everyday.. DS and I.
