MK - left, right or straight?

[tjstrike]

We always go right, hit Buzz, then the TTA, COP then on to SM and Indy cars.

[epceddie]

My wife and I always go right. Our first stop is always Buzz Lightyear, which we ride six or seven times while there's little or no wait. Allison is a big fan of Carousel of Progress and we both enjoy the People Mover.
After Tomorrowland, we head to the Hall of President's and the Haunted Mansion. Then we like to do the Country Bear Jamboree and ride Pirates of the Caribbean a few times. Then, we usually head back to Main Street to ride the steam train around the park a couple of times and we get off at Frontierland to start all over again with POC and a ride reversal all the way back to Tomorrowland.

[LandFan]

Usually to the right for some reason... Space, Buzz, COP, Monsters, TTA.... then wherever the mood takes us. Only 30 days and 16 hours now!!

[Chase055]

I always go left at both magic kingdom and disneyland. Then I hit potc or jungle cruise first. Also, I always use the right entrance when going under the train to enter main street and exit on the left. It's just something I have always done my whole life and I cannot explain why.

[Cinderelley]

We got straight . . . to BTMRR

[Elias1901]

Hmm. This one has changed for me over the years. When my family visited WDW's Magic Kingdom for the first handful of times, we always trended to go to the left towards Big Thunder Mountain Railroad & Splash Mountain when the park opened. We then would work our way around the park clockwise and finish in Tomorrowland.

This recently changed however when our family has been visiting Disneyland Park in California more frequently. In Disneyland, we did the exact opposite rotation of what we typically would do in Florida. This time we hung a right and started in Tomorrowland and would end in the Adventureland area on the left side of the park. In California there is only a few major reasons for this. Space Mountain and now more recently, Star Tours II: The Adventures Continue!

But honestly, when you sum it all up... there is no right or wrong way to do Disney. Anyway you slice it, you can't miss!!

[Dulcee]

First stop is always Small World, followed by Peter Pan followed by Haunted Mansion.

Only on day 1. After that all bets are off.

[Mendelson]

To me the stuff back in FL, like Peter Pan and IASW, is essential Disney...kinda like the foundation on which so much else was built. I guess in part because of that - and in part tradition - we've always started there. Then we head counter-clockwise. We can usually knock out FL, HM, and the parts of Frontier and Adventureland we like by noon. Just in time for Dole Whip floats for lunch!

[Kenny1113]

It depends on What time we get there, which direction the crowd is headed and what my kids want to ride first. In the past it's been left to POTC

[CuteAsMinnie]

Straight! Fantasyland comes first. Then we head to the left.

[PlutoToo]

Left to the Dole Whips.

[Jayhorn]

If we arrive for EMH, my wife and I go straight and do ALL of Fantasyland before the crowds show up. If it weren't for EMH, we'd never ride Dumbo! Every other time, I tend to the right. I think that comes from the days when I was a kid, and Tomorrowland was my favorite land at the MK and DL.

[Aurora]

Before we had kids, always to the left and did Jungle Cruise and Pirates first.

After kids, straight to Dumbo and other Fantasyland rides.

Our next trip will probably be to the right of the castle to get to the new Fantasyland!

[Sam&Alex&Josh'sMOM]

Generally grab peter pan FP, hit HM as our first ride and then Fantasyland... and then lunch at Columbia harbour and then wherever. jockeying FP's for Splash and BTMRR, while also being sure to hit pirates, jungl cruise, aladdin, and then TTA, BuZZ and COP and Monsters laugh floor. But for several years now... it has been HM first then Fantasyland for sure.

[Joannelet]

Without kids we head to haunted mansion and then POTC and all of frontierland. Now with kids we rush to Dumbo and spend up to many hours in Fantasyland. now it's going to get even worst! But we love every minute!

[WDWgoofy]

Depends on time of day for me.

On EMH - always turn right to Tomorrowland.

When arriving after 4pm, I look at the wait board, but usually head left.

[LudwigVonDrake]

Most times I hang a right towards Tomorrowland. Why? Beats me

[SandmanGStefani24]

every trip, i always run straight up main street, and hook right to tomorrowland. I do all the tomorrowland stuff (sans stitch) and then head to adventureland and then to the HM. Then based on how long that took, or on skipping/fp rides w long waits I go back and repeat as necessary.

[PAYROLL PRINCESS]

I'd never really thought about it but it's usually a left turn to either Pirates, Jungle or HM. Not usually Splash right away because I don't want to get wet right away.

[Jeffybob]

To the right, Space Mtn, Buzz, etc, making the circle counter clockwise.
