We usually head straight for Fantasyland, and try to hit Dumbo first thing!

In the past its always been Fantasyland and IASW and then Peter Pan on the first day. On other days we usually head for BTMRR, Splash, and then POTC. :thumbsup:

Peter Pan! I love that ride, but not enough to wait in line for an hour and a half, so we try to beat the lines. In fact, Fantasyland first thing in the AM is great b/c of the lack of lines. After PPF, we usually hit IASW, Philharmagic (my fave!), Snow White if we feel like it (not a must see), and Winnie the Pooh before heading over to Liberty Square and Frontierland

Although DH and I are never there right at rope drop (I'm not a morning person, lol! :D ) we usually head for BTMRR or POTC first.

We also head straight to Fantasyland. We fp Peter Pan, then ride Dumbo and Pooh.

If we're at rope drop, we usually race to Fantasyland and ride either Peter Pan or Dumbo. They can be impossible to get on at later times during the day (at least by our experience).

Our tradition is POTC. That is where we will head again this year, then Splash Mt.:mickey:

Usually, PoC... but my kids want Space these days, so that's the new direction... :)

I'm always in the mood to go to HM first. :thumbsup: But its whatever we're in the mood for. Sometimes POTC, or sometimes we'll go off into Tomorrowland first!

Peter Pan's Flight & the rest of Fantasyland so I can avoid being crushed by strollers in the afternoon! :(

Pirates, no matter what., its our first ride at MK!

We used to beeline to HM, but with the two younger ones we usually follow the park around in a loop starting on the left and not bounce around as much as we used to. Of course, if it is the second time we are visiting the park in a trip we usually loop around starting to the right of the park in Tomorrowland. :thumbsup:

We head straight for Dumbo - one of us gets in line with Chloe while the other adult gets fastpasses for Peter Pan then comes back and gets in line. Chloe rides Dumbo with 1st parent and then is handed over to 2nd parent to ride again w/o having to wait in line.:cloud9:

Straight to the train station and hop on the train at the Walt Disney World Railroad. We ride it round to Mickey's Toontown Fair, meet the characters, have a look around and go on our first rollercoaster of the holiday; Goofy's Barnstormer.

From there we head into Tomorrowland, Space Mountain being the target. :mickey:

For us, it's off to Frontierland via Adventureland, to FP Splash and ride Thunder (twice if possible). Then either back to Adventureland or on to Liberty Sq. We save Splash as our last to-do (in case we get really wet) before we head back to our resort for our mid-day break. And we save the rest of MK for another day (or maybe later that day). :mickey:

i do the same as several others and head to peter pan. we can usually get most all of fantasyland ridden in the first hour of the day before the crowds really hit that area.

If with a toddler....dumbo

If with a teen or my fam....SM for a fastpass, walk over to Buzz and ride...and then across the park to Pan and the other two mountains.

DW is not a morning person....so usually, I do the opening with one or more of the grandkids....I let them pick. Most trips, if DGD#2 is with me, its Space Mtn....otherwise, with my other grandkids, it seems to be BTMRR, after a quick stop to get FP's for Splash....

AwPhooey

A FastPass for BTMRR and then off to the standby line for Splash Mtn.

We go to SM for a ride and a FP, then to Buzz, then to Fantasyland until it's time to line up for Frontierland opening at 10 (on an EMH day that is!). :mickey:

I'm a big nerd. I like to take it all in on Main Street. In all fairness, no matter where I want to go, my six-year old will want to ride Goofy's Barnstormer five times in a row, so rushing anywhere but there is pointless.

It's always been a family tradition to ride POTC first at MK every trip so I seem never to be able to break it...my feet always walk in that direction!
