    Magic Kingdom Touring Plan

    I will be in the Magic Kingdom on Thursday the 2nd of April, 2015. The park is rated to be at an attendance level of a 8 or 9 according to Touringplans.com. I will be traveling with 9 7th grade girls and we are not staying on property so that means no advanced Fastpass+ for us. We will be leaving to catch a flight back to CO at 4:30 pm. Magic Kingdom will have extra magic hours from 7-8. We are not scheduled to get to the park until 8:45, yuck! The first stop for us will be to get FastPass+ for our group. after that, I am thinking we go to frontier land and knock out Big Thunder, Splash and then we either head to pirates and jungle cruise and then hit up Haunted Mansion or we do Thunder, Splash, Mansion, Pirates, Jungle. What are your thoughts? My goal is get to Fastpasses for attractions in Tomorrowland and possibly fantasyland, but am fearful that our options will be extremely limited due to the crowds and advanced fastpasses in combination with our partial day. I am looking for two things.
    1. Order of attractions
    2. Best place to go to get our group of 10 who will have day passes all fastpasses at about the same time.

    Thoughts?

    First off, you are within a 30 day window... so you can select FP's now, regardless if you are on property or not. (its 60 days for on-property guests, 30 days if not.)

    Get there as early as possible and if you still need to work on getting FP's worked out, there will be a FP center near the entrance, right after you go under the railroad.

    As for order of attractions, I would start with any of them, to be honest. Go with the flow of least resistance. Doing Thunder then splash or vice versa is popular. Pirates and Jungle are also a logical pair.

    Also, really emphasize the "just being there" factor so that no one is upset if they don't get a certain attraction. Sometimes a LOVELY day can be had if you hit the less popular rides. Have a great day and, as GusMan said, go wit the flow.

    Working hard for that next WDW trip!

    Oh I plan on a relaxing ride on the peoplemover. Gusman, I will not have the tickets in my hand until we get to Florida as we are traveling through an educational travel company. We will have to hit up that Fastpass center then. I was looking at some maps and they are not marked on the maps as to where those centers are. Since we are a group of 10 and not linked together, I can't just book them on my phone. Not exactly how I do Disney, but perhaps this will be a growing experience for me and allow me to appreciate the times when I can tour my style and park storm properly.

    The FPP+ locations are marked on the new guide maps. I think I have an extra set from the last trip.

    I remember two locations of the kiosks, one was under the bridge between frontier and adventure land, that one was always busy. The other one I remember was between Buzz and the laugh floor and was not always busy. Oh, wait I think there is one over by Stitch also.
    Good luck!
