Magic Kingdom 1/29 (FRIDAY) report:
Boardwalk bus stop at 7:40 - while waiting we placed our mobile order for lunch
Bus pulls up at 7:45 which is 30 minutes earlier than Wednesday.
Arrived around 8:00 and were slowly moved in stages to temp check, security, and then tapstiles. We were at the front of one of the tapstiles. Headed directly to 7DMT at 8:15 but they didn’t start running until 8:30.
Did rides in this order:
- 7DMT
- Peter Pan
- Splash Mt (BTMRR was down for much of the AM)
- Pirates
- Magic Carpets
- Enchanted Tiki room
- Mickey’s Philharmagic
11:15 - lunch at Cosmic Rays
We did not like the wait times we were seeing after lunch - it was WAY busier than Wednesday when many things were basically a walk-on. No problem because we had planned for this and did a resort shopping tour. CR, then Poly and a Dole Whip, GF, then we rode the monorail all the way around the loop (yes past GF a 2nd time lol) and then on to MK where we re-entered around 3:15.
- Tea Cups
- Dumbo
- Space Mountain
- Pooh
4:45 - Dinner at Tony’s
At this point it was 5:45 and we wanted to try for 4 more rides.
- Little Mermaid (walk on)
- Splash Mountain (posted 25, actual 10)
- BTMRR (posted 35, actual 25)
We got off of BTMRR at 7:03 so we missed our last ride on iasw - guess I should’ve eaten the Alfredo faster
All in all, the early start worked great again. Crowds were much higher on Fri vs Wed - not in an “unsafe” fashion. Just in a “I don’t want to wait that long fashion. Our resort tour break was restful and quiet and I’d recommend it! Hope this info is helpful to some!
