We would like to try to ride the following in the following order: Peter Pan 7:05 Matterhorn 7:10 Alice 7:20 Mad Tea Party 7:25 Mr. Toad 7:30 Snow White 7:35 Pinnochio 7:40 Space Mtn Ghost Galaxy 7:50 The times listed represent approximate time we enter the line. Does this seem possible to anyone? Also, as resort guests, I understand that they have been letting people into DCA half an hour early to get WOC FP's. Does anyone know if they have been running Soarin' early too as they have sometimes done in the past? Thank you in advance for any input or advice. : )

I definitely agree with Peter Pan 1st! And depending on your group (and the line), you might consider hitting it twice in a row and being done for the trip. Personally, given your list, I would then do Matterhorn on my way to Space. Then go back to Alice and Mr Toad. Mad Tea Party, Snow White and Pinocchio could be done but should not be priorities during EE; their lines are some of the shortest (in the park) all day. Was Dumbo intentionally left off the list? I haven't used EE during Halloween but don't see how it would affect your ride list. Space is always popular -- Halloween decor or not. If you put it last on your list because of its distance from the others, (and are not willing to jump from place to place) then I'd move it to 1st and do all the others next. Have a terrific time!
Originally Posted By Dalia3001 Those are all great points! We are planning to follow this plan for EE on Sunday. What do you think of Peter Pan, Mr. Toads then Matterhorn, then Space, then heading back for Alice, Tea Party, Snow White and Pinnochio if there is still time left before the whole park opens, when we can start following our Ridemax schedule, ha ha. I left off Dumbo on purpose, as we are a group of adults and we only have those two days to visit the park. My friends have agreed to indulge my psycho planning, and to follow my itinerary, and they have a fantastic attitude and a great sense of humor about the whole thing. They think my obsession is hysterical, but seem really excited about the idea of getting to experience so much stuff! Monday, we were hoping to return at opening (8:00am) and do Nemo first, then if we end up having missed any of the other Fantasyland rides we could do them right after Nemo and still get into DCA by 9:30 for our hotel guest pseudo-EE which may not get us into Soarin' but will definitely get us lined up for Toy Story early. Thank you very much for your input. Does anyone happen to know if they are running Soarin' when they open DCA early with the GCH entrance as they have in the past, or are the WOC fastpass machines the only things running before the entire park opens up?
Originally Posted By noahbear08 oh good point about the pseudo-EE for DCA, I didn't think about that, so does the park open a half an hour early for people staying at the GCH?
Originally Posted By Dalia3001 They let you in half an hour early using the GCH entrance to DCA if you are staying at any of the Disneyland Hotels. In the past they have run Soarin' over California during that half hour, and sometimes Grizzly River Rapids. I know that they were allowing resort hotel guests access to the WOC fastpasses before the gates opened for everyone else, but I don't know if they are running Soarin any more or for the time being. If anyone knows, please let us know!
