We are doing a one-day, no-kids trip next Monday, December 4th. I am planning for it to be fairly busy. But I went October 23rd (also a Monday) with friends and it was super hot and fairly busy, and we were able to do everything we really wanted in both parks with MaxPass. My question is, if these are the rides we want to get on during the day, how should I prioritize MaxPass/standby lines, in your opinion(s)? -
Starting the day in Disneyland very close to rope drop: (we will be relying on a shuttle or walking to the Toy Story parking lot from the Anaheim Hilton)
Peter Pan, Indiana Jones, HMH, Star Tours, POTC, Space Mountain. We plan to ride some other things, but they're just bonuses. No Splash. Probably park hopping over to CA by about 11 AM and we want to do GotG (more than once if it is possible), RSR, Soarin, TSMM. Screamin' if we're in the mood. Same: we will ride some others, but those are the priorities and any others are bonuses. Thinking of hitting RSR as single rider around dusk too, if our FP is nowhere near that time, since I've never ridden it at night.
What do I need to know about prioritizing/timing? We don't want to be criss-crossing all over the park, since we'll probably be there about 8am-10pm. And we're getting old (35-ish, haha!) so we get tired... This is supposed to be an enjoyable day since our last one was this time last year with 5 kids (including a toddler and a baby) for 4 days, and it was exhausting!
