DISNEYLAND/EARLY ENTRY: Used our EE Wednesday (due to the conflict above). It was SO nice. No crowds at all. Main Street was SO peaceful. We never saw the park that way again! We rode Peter Pan, Dumbo, the Carousel, Buzz (we literally WALKED on
NO LINE and that was after 8am.) And at 8:30am went to the Plaza Inn for the Princess Breakfast. We were an hour late but still got in VERY quickly. This is a GREAT feature so take advantage of it if you have it! (cont. below)
ROYAL PRINCESS BREAKFAST: (cont. from above) We had outside seating and honestly I dont know what the outside seating fuss was all about. ALL the characters came outside to make rounds and we caught Belle inside JUST after a break so we walked RIGHT UP TO HER! The cast members that helped with character crowd control were helpful and kind. I actually liked it and so did Jocelyn, in fact the next morning she got up and asked if we were having breakfast with the princesses again Like all the other posts Belle and Beast stayed in one place and kids lined up for signatures and pictures. We saw Fairy God Mother, Bert, Aurora, Pluto, Cinderella, and Aladdin (who was SO kind, talked to Jocelyn FOREVER) and gave her detailed directions to Ariels Shell where we could meet her! The food was SO good and we didnt have to eat until later that afternoon I would SO do this again, but again would get there early between 7 and 8am in order to beat the crowds. As we were leaving it was getting a little crazy and the food lines were longer!
RIDES/LINES:
We did Peter Pan 5 times (never longer than 30 minutes)
Dumbo on our EE day and it was only about a 5 minute wait.
Carousel had little wait at any time.
Tea cups and Small World 2 times each and both times there were NO LINE!
Buzz 4 times: USE FAST PASSES and EE otherwise its a wait.
Toon Town: DO THIS IN THE MORNING!!!! We did and still waited in lines for Mickey and Minnies House to sign books and take pictures (about 30 minutes each). Food lines were just as bad!!!!! Goofys Bounce House never had more than a 3 minute wait and did that 3 times.
Splash Mountain was CRAZY BUSY!! Even with FP its a mess. Getting there early one morning is a MUST!!
Pirates we did one morning about 10am and the line was only about 12 minutes but longer as the day went on.
Winnie the Pooh we did right after Pirates and the line was short and the ride cute
Tarzan Tree House: Great for the kids, my 4 year old LOVED it and no line!
Jungle Cruise: We went after the noon hour and spent a little more time in line than we should have but it went quick!
Train around the park had little lines and wait times.
The faster popular rides had longer lines of course but take advantage of FP, riding those early in the morning, EE, and single rider lines. If you do that with a 3 day trip youll get on everything just fine!
