You guys really did a lot! I mentioned we just did a down-and-back from NY for the day, I had asked my husband if we should get G+ to guarantee we get some stuff in and he was like nahhh (cue my disappointment the ONE time I’m willing to buy it lol.)Editing to add dates instead of today and yesterday.
Back from a quick trip for Tron preview! The crowds for spring break seem to have arrived. However I will say yesterday (Saturday 3/11) only Epcot seemed crowded to me (I did all 4 parks), and today (Sunday 3/12) MK seemed very busy!
However today (Sunday 3/12) we were able to do a ton with genie +. I wanted to test this genie + can do it all theory/blogger mentioned above.
We arrived into the park at 9:08. I had booked Big Thunder for 9:10-10:10 and mine train for 11:30-12:30. We did the following Pirates, (big thunder went down), booked LL for imitate return at magic carpets, booked small world LL, did that right after, then booked Barnstromer, did carousel on the way, used barnstromer LL, booked dumbo, at tap in for dumbo booked tea cups, tea cups LL was backed up, so we grabbed a snack, and circled back, at tea cups tap in we booked space for 2:25-3:35 (could have booked Pooh for quicker return but we wanted to do space), watched Phillharmagic, used ILL for mine train, stoped to pick up a map for the pirate adventure, then did Big Thunder using converted anytime LL. Then it was lunch time. It was 12:30 and we did 9 rides, and a show. So in just about 3 and a half hours we did a ton imo.
Lunch was till 130ish during lunch our 2 hours since booking space was up and we booked enchanted tales with Belle for 4-5, we had a Tron preview so we shopped a bit till our 2pm time, then did Tron, then our Space LL, now our 2 hours booking window was up again, we could have booked a few things for the 5ish time (Pooh, Ariel, meet Mickey), we went with 530-630 meet Mickey, we grabbed ice cream before we headed to Hall of Presidents, we just missed a show so we relaxed a bit. Then enchanted tales with Belle was down so we went to Gaston’s for coffee and snack. Enchanted tales was back up after that so we did that, then criss crossed to do people mover, then headed to the confectionery for fudge then to Mickey and out of the park.
I think we did a lot, 12 rides, 3 shows, 1 character meet, sit down lunch and 4 snacks.
It was crowded today, but weather was perfect, hope this helps someone and happy to answer any questions.
We got to the park around 11:30am and immediately headed to Pirates (posted 55, waited 30) and then HM (idk what it was posted but waited another 30). Add a few mins before and after for stroller parking.
When we got off HM around 1:30 we decided to head over to Tomorrowland to grab lunch before our 2pm TRON preview. We left the baby w/ our non-AP friend and walked over around 2:10, immediately tapped into the area and there was pretty much no wait for the attraction itself. Off Tron around 2:30, regrouped and did Dumbo (posted 30 mins, waited that). We headed back to TL - the line for Space stretched back to Astro Orbiter but that was a no-go. Peoplemover was a short time wait (20 mins) but the line was in the sun so I didn’t want to wait that with baby. We settled on Monsters Inc. which had a posted time of 15 mins. We just missed the load room for a show so all told it was like 45 minutes from the queue to getting out. After that everything had a wait above 30 mins and we still wanted to have time for shopping so we ditched the rides and got coffee/shopped on Main St. until we left around 6 to head back to TTC and get our flight home.
So without G+: 3 rides and a show. Definitely crowded and made it hard to do standby only for our middle-of-the-day hours!
