Just an FYI for Wed. March 6th, a busy MK day with extra magic evening hours and we are offsite visitors, my custom Touring plan estimated wait time in total previously at 159 minutes for 11 attractions is now at 229 minutes for those same 11 attractions. This is before fastpasses as our window has not opened up yet. We also and this will be necessary for us to get other things we really enjoy in and was prior to the change too, have excluded Peter Pan (not worth a FP or stand by wait to us) and 7DMT (not able to get FP as offsite visitor and not worth stand by wait to us). We've also done these before, so no big deal for us.
If we can get FPs for Space, Splash, and Big Thunder, which we should be able to do when our offsite window opens up, we will still have three rides with predicted wait time of 24-32 minutes and all other attractions (five) have wait time projections of 12 minutes or less. We'll be seeing the parade and watching the fireworks too and doing our Main Street USA shop browsing after fireworks during the EMH that we can't go on rides during as offsite visitors. I didn't include the parade or fireworks in my attraction or wait time list. Just wanted to put a realistic perspective of what one of the busier MK days Mardi Gras week really looks like in terms of lines and rides. To me and DS 23, the two of us going, this still looks like a great 11 hour day at the MK. We are doing counter service for both lunch and dinner too, not taking time out for table service.
We also usually pick a ride that we will skip if we are behind on our plan. For us this time it is Buzz Lightyear's Space Spin -- neither or us thinks it's really worth a 25 minute wait. We will probably do it though, because really and truly we will have the time, and thee waits of about a 1/2 hour are acceptable for us, given that everything else should have considerably shorter waits.
Enjoy -- A busy day at the MK is still a nice change from a busy day at work and from what I am seeing doesn't look all that bad!
We even looked at maybe changing from the Marriott Residence Inn SeaWorld -- nice recently remodeled property with breakfast included, a kitchen, nice pool, nice hot tub, and quick queue at SeaWorld -- basically fastpasses for their popular rides included to the Pop (the same price -- actually $8 less for a four night stay). We decided to stick with original plans as we are just doing one Disney day and thought our MK day still looked really fun, but might have changed if we were doing more Disney parks.
