Hi all,
We fly out for 10 days in California today and we are spending two days at Disneyland- one at each park- we aren't park hopping and I'm ok with that- never have a WDW. We have two girls, ages 11 and 13, so it will be a much different trip than the last time to WDW 5 years ago where I was fully engulfed in princesses, BBB and character meals. Looking forward to it! We ARE doing maxpass both days.
Having said that, I have looked at a lot of the "what rides to ride in what order and what fastpasses to get" as we will be arriving at both parts at rope drop and will have EMH because we are staying on site. My kids have viewed all of the youtube videos of the rides online and the only FP rides they don't want to go on are Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion and Guardians. So...how do I adjust my FP schedules without those rides? And, how do I incorporate some of Fantasyland rides in while putting priority on the roller coasters and other popular FP rides? Like, do I do Peter Pan first while pulling my FP for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad? Also, I'm not real clear on what is and isn't open at rope drop and EMH. Can I get some feedback on the following lists that I have? Can I get FP's for rides that aren't yet open for the day? I already have reservations for both World of Color and Fantasmic Dining Packages so I don't have to pull those though I know they don't take up a "ride" fastpass anyway. I'm so overwhelmed from planning a three city 10 day vacation and don't want to waste a minute at Disneyland trying to do something I can't even do!
California Adventure Park- Arrival 7am (I know I need to be early but that's the open for EMH)
Pay no attention to the numbers- that's the order I have planned. Does it make sense?
1. Ride Radiator Springs Racers
2. Grab Radiator Springs Racers FASTPASS
3. Ride Toy Story Midway Mania
4. Ride Soarin’ Around the World
5. Ride RSR with FASTPASS (if the return time has arrived)
6. Ride Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree
7. Ride Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters
8. Grab Goofy’s Sky School FP (and proceed on with all of Paradise Pier)
1. Grab Big Thunder Mountain FASTPASS
2. Ride Peter Pan
3. Ride Matterhorn
4. Ride Pirates of the Caribbean
5. Ride Splash Mountain
6. Grab Indiana Jones FASTPASS
7. Ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad with FASTPASS
I couldn't find anything about adding in any of the other FP rides like:
Autopia- driving cars
*Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
* Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin
* Star Tours
Do I just grab each one in no particular order after my other ones are used?
Thank you for any help!!
