Saturday – California Adventure
Why? Because it is Magic Morning at Disneyland and the likelihood of getting Fastpasses is better on a day without Magic Morning
Showing up 15 minutes before opening is ideal
Gray rides are rides an infantwould not be able to do with you
8:00 – Park opens
Get Fastpasses to ‘Radiator Springs Racers’*.
These tickets are near “It’s Tough to be a Bug” (They are not in Cars Land)
Head to Toy Story Midway Mania.
If you can ride this ride with less than a 20 minute wait, do it. This ride averages about 40 minutes all day long.
Ride other rides in Paradise Pier
If you’d like to do the Ferris Wheel this would be a good time. California Screamin’ is also close so if you can handle this ride first thing in the morning, it’s worth it.
Head to Soarin’ Around the World*
If the wait is under 20 minutes, it’s worth it to wait in line for this. If it’s more than that, make note to have someone run back here to grab FastPasses next time you can grab some. You can also do ‘Single Rider’ on this ride meaning you can go through the FastPass line if you’re willing to break away from the rest of your party.
The rest of the day is all dependent on what people are in the mood for.
Rides worth doing if wait is less than 20 minutes:
Silly Symphony Swings*
Golden Zephyr
