Last day today and spent it at MK. It was more crowded and lines were longer than on our visit two days before. We also got off to a slow start and missed rope drop (got there around 8:30) and I think that messed us up. Luckily we had done headliners the other day so we focused on some of the less popular rides that had 5-15 minute waits. We put in a mobile order at Pinocchio village haus on our ferry ride over to MK and picked it up at 11 with no problem. I actually like that they don’t let you in until your order is ready - makes it much easier to find a seat.
We had a snack by the entrance toward the end of our day and our last sight was the Mickey cavalcade and he blew a kiss at my daughter. Pretty much a picture perfect finish to a Disney trip! Now back to reality… delayed at MCO with my whiny and tired kids.
Here are some general takeaways:
-Rope drop, mid day break and evening return really worked for us.
- the thread here about boarding groups for ROTR really helped me and I was two for two getting am boarding groups
- if you have any crowd/covid concerns, I would rethink. Our family wore masks the whole time and we were a distinct minority. Maybe 5 percent, if that? We were often shoulder to shoulder inside and it felt really weird after 15 months of isolation.
- put in your lunch mobile order early, like first thing when you get there, to get your pick of places and pick up times
- this was my first time bringing a Uv umbrella and it really helped me in the long unshaded lines.
a big thank you to this thread for helping me prep. I hope my posts have given back in some small way.
