Friends who want the thrill rides
The usual worries, and what happened that day
“Can we do all three?”
Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Star Tours: rode them all
“Rope drop, most popular first” got all of them too.
“What order should we do them in?”
In this order: Star Tours (9:58, 5 min) → Splash Mountain (16:09, 5 min) → Big Thunder Mountain (16:28, 5 min)
“Rope drop, most popular first” went Splash Mountain (15:07, 10 min) → Big Thunder Mountain (15:30, 10 min) → Star Tours (16:16, 5 min). Running to Splash Mountain first meant a longer line.
“I don't want to stand in line for hours”
Even the longest line was just 50 min
20 of the 21 rides took 15 minutes or less. With “Rope drop, most popular first”, Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast took 2h 20m.
“What if the day doesn't go to plan?”
It re-plans after every ride, so you're covered
We didn't stick to the morning plan. It's the same way you'd use the planner on the day.

Good to know for this day
How we tested
- On that day, at the entry time, we built the same plan the route planner would, using only the real posted waits up to that time and the forecast after it.
- After each ride we re-planned from the time, place and rides left. Waits are what the app showed when we joined the line.
- The comparison uses the same day, rides, meals, walking speed and posted waits.
- The day shown is the middle day of those we tested, not the best one.
Popular rides: those averaging 40+ minutes from September 20 to 30, 2026. Small rides add to the count too, so we show both.
