Hi everyone!
We’ll be making our annual trip next week. We go during Easter week every year so we’re well prepared for what to expect.
In the past, we’ve gotten fastpasses for the mountains and rope dropped fantasyland. This year, due to the fact that we have a lunch reservation at BoG and just to change it up a little, we thought we’d rope drop thunder mountain, then go to splash mountain, then try for either pirates or haunted mansion before making our way back to fantasyland for our FPs.
In following the wait times on the app, it looks like thunder mountain was closed at park opening yesterday, not running until maybe twenty minutes in. Splash was also offline and took even longer to start running. Today, it appears that Splash is offline again along with Pirates and both are still listed as temporarily closed as I write this post. Obviously I’m not in the parks, so the information could be wrong, but I’m now concerned about wasting precious time walking all the way back to Frontierland at rope drop to find the rides offline. By the time we made our way somewhere else, we’ll be ten to fifteen minutes behind and will have likely missed out on a short wait for any other headliners. During Easter week, as we all know, every minute of that first hour is crucial.
Is there a way to know at rope drop that a ride will be down so you don’t walk all the way there? And either way, should I be revising my plans to try to avoid this issue?
Thank you, expert Disney team!
