[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op- thank you! My ASD DS is horrible at waiting so I’m hoping this helps. Going in with low expectations and just hoping to be able to enjoy being there. [/quote]

I'm the pp. It will absolutely help. It turned the seven dwarfs 90 minute wait into a ~5 min wait. Going in with the low expectations like you're planning and keeping the bar low, + staying relaxed will also help tremendously. And here's the thing, my DS (6yo), who loves excitement, rides, etc, I thought would have NO interest in the parades, characters, marching bands, shows was AWESTRUCK by it all. Like, requested the name of each hs marching band awestruck. It was adorable just to see his reaction. That's what made it for me. I also thought, we'd watch the fireworks show (headphones!!) and head back to the hotel, but just in case, booked splash mountain right before the fireworks, so that the return time corresponded to immediately post fireworks. Also ended up being a great decision bc DS caught a second wind during the fireworks and asked to stay longer so we headed over to splash mountain. Upon tapping into splash, I then booked Big Thunder which at that time had immediate openings, so we were able to get that in as well plus then repeat other rides he adored.

My biggest takeaway-I booked my first pass for 10am on Peter Pan figuring we could hit a couple of the smaller rides that don't regularly have huge stand by wait times prior to Peter Pan. It was a lesson learned bc even the 15 min standby wait for Dumbo was too much and we came very close to a meltdown at like 9:30 with minimal crowd/heat. That's why my main takeaway for you is regardless of the perceived popularity of the ride or alleged lack of wait times early am, just go ahead and get started with the DAS bookings right away. Like I said, I hesitated to book DAS early am with Dumbo, etc bc I thought we'd be ok and though it did work out, for next time (that's how much fun we had!!), I'll definitely book the first available 9am ride regardless of the ride/perceived lack of early am line for it.
