Our MK strategy for our upcoming visit July 20-26 has been to rope-drop BTMR, then work counter-clockwise through the park, hitting Splash, Pirates, and Jungle Cruise. The idea has been to avoid the mayhem connected with the rope-drop rush to 7DMT, and have a slightly more relaxed rope-drop experience. (Especially since we will have grandparents with us on their first trip.)
However, while stalking MDE on a regular basis, I am noticing wait times climbing quickly in the morning for both BTMR and Splash. For instance, at 9:05 am today, the wait time for BTMR was 60 minutes, and the wait time for Splash was 65 (compared to 70 for 7DMT). It is not an EMH day, FYI.
Is this accurate? For those who have been there recently, can you share any insight on the early morning experience in Frontierland?
We had also planned a similar strategy for AK, eschewing Pandora at rope-drop for Kilamanjaro Safaris -- but I noticed the 9:05 wait time at KS was 55 minutes -- far longer than I expected. I am wondering if we need to rethink our strategy. Or at least prepare for a more hectic rope-drop experience than we had planned on.
