If you only had 3-4 hours in MK, how would you spend your time?

[Bostonbeans99]

Haunted Mansion & Pirates .....and a walk through the gift shops. If time left I would hop on People Movers and get that one last look at the park. Then slowly make my way to the Castle to look at it one last time..

 

[rentayenta]

all.

7DMT FP
Peter Pan FP
BTMMR FP
HM
Pirates
Tiki Birds
- Eat a dole whip
Space Mountain if you can get an extra FP and have time.

Thanks! Do you know if the Tiki Room is the same as the one at Disneyland? Last time we were there it was the Gilbert Godfrey edition.

Just be really on top of your Fastpass date—30 days before check-in if you’re offsite or 60 days for Disney resorts—to get what you want. 7Dwarves and Peter Pan are the two hardest FPs to get so book them first.

Yes!! Its in 8 days. I will be up at 3:45 am PST sharp! DH too.

With 3 or 4 hours, I'd pick only 3 or 4 key attractions from your Must Do list. Between lines ( even with FPs ), stopping for a snack/bathroom breaks and making your way around the park, it may be difficult to get in much more. For me - I'd have a hard time either not going into the shops on Main Street or limiting my time. For us, it would be Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Splash and TTA.

Thank you. TTA is a must! As I peruse the list so is Country Bears.

Mermaids, sea witches, flounders, sunken ships, etc.




Seriously, it is the Little Mermaid ride, and never has too much of a wait except on the busiest of days.

Ahhh ok! Thanks!

We were there today and spent just 4 hours at MK.

We got coffee on Main Street, did Buzz, People mover, Hall of Presidents and Thunder Mountain.

Then we ate lunch at The Plaza and left.

That sounds like a great day. Thanks!

Hopefully I won't cry. Maybe we should move our MK time up in our trip just in case.

Go on a ride you have never been on and ride it and enjoy it. Dont rush and try to see the hidden things.
Grab a snack you have never had or a sundae and sit down on or near main street and people watch.
Having four hours means to me a time to relax and enjoy the little things and be thankful for being able to come to disney

 

[winnieofpooh]

I'd probably take a bit and just take in the view of Main St and the castle. I'd FP space mountain, big thunder, and buzz. I'd do small world and people mover casually throughout the day too. I'd spend the rest of my time just walking around, going in the shops, and taking in the atmosphere.

I like this; all the feedback has been terrific! We have never been on 7DMT. I also would like to do the Peoplemover, CoP, and Country Bears, maybe Philharmagic. We live very close to Disneyland and while I know MK and DL are not the same, there are some similarities with regard to attractions.

For attractions which DL doesn't have, you might also want to consider Enchanted Tales with Belle. Even though it is geared towards kids, it has some interesting effects.

Also we enjoy Monsters Inc Laugh Floor and Hall of Presidents.

Mickey Bars are the best! I’m looking forward to seeing the BIG castle as well.

This is a good idea. We used to enjoy Hall of Presidents. DH told me he’s not interested this year. Monsters Inc has been added, thanks!

A Mickey Premium bar is a must do every day we enter a park! I'd hit the Mountains for sure. Try to FP+ them all.

 

[scrapquitler]

3 or 4 hours? I'd ride one of the main street vehicles up to the hub, then ride Pirates, eat a Dole Whip, , sit on the rocking chair over near Country Bears for a little bit, then ride Haunted Mansion. I'd ride Small World, then walk on over to the People mover and ride that. Walk thru Tomorrowland back toward Main Street. I'd sit outside the Plaza for bit, then walk around Main street and the shops on Main Street, ending with watching them make the treats at the confectionary.

 

[GPC0321]

Enjoy Main St. and the hub in front of the castle. Have an early lunch at Casey's, sitting outside enjoying the view of the castle, maybe with Mickey's Royal Friendship Faire going on, or Move It, Shake It! (I love this so much for some reason).

For rides, that really depends on one's preferences, but my preferences would be Pirates, Splash, Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan, Small World, and People Mover.

And I'd sneak Country Bears in at some point if possible.

I will try to FP+anything we can for sure. I haven't used it before and I am a little nervous.

Thanks again to everyone. Funny, my DD and I are heading to Disneyland in about an hour to spend 3-4 hours. I know we are wanting to ride Space and eat at Bengal BBQ (again) and not sure what else. The replies are really making me want to take it all in though.

GG was removed from WDW’s Tiki Room years ago, so its back to normal.

For a DL regular, I’d be looking to do 7DMT and HM on FP+
And also Peoplemover and Carousel of Progress. Country Bears is a great choice.
Personally DW would insist on Small World (But DL has the added characters) and probably teacups.

Unfortunately you cant get a FP for any Premium Mickey Bar stands!

Line up your 3 FastPasses. Depending on timing, you can easily knock these out in 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 hours. In between FastPass times, you can do stuff like Carousel of Progress, PeopleMover, Philharmagic, Regal Carousel, or something else with a nominal standby wait time. Once you are done with your first 3 FastPasses, you can make more 1 at a time. I was able to make multiple 4th+ FPs for Buzz Lightyear back in February over the course of an hour or 2. It just depends on how crowded the park is that day.

I do 3-4 hour visits often. I do maybe 4 or 5 attractions (using FastPass), eat a meal, and maybe get some PhotoPass shots.

Main Street Trolley Show
Haunted Mansion

Good news. The GG version was horrible.

Your choices are similar to what I am thinking...maybe not HM though and instead Splash.

I had a couple bites of one last night.
