[Question] Goin to Disney Sea right when it opens. So which rides should I get in line for first

[Nemo123]

Which rides at Disney Sea are the longest because I wanna go to those early before it gets too crazy.

If you are arriving right a opening, you will be too late to be able to get FastPasses for Toy Story Mania so you should probably head to Tower of Terror, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystan Skull, or Raging Spirits and see if you can get a Fast Pass for whichever one you want to go on the most.

If you want a FastPass for Toy Story Mania, I would suggest you get in line at the gates 1.5 or more hours before opening and run directly to get a FastPass.

Don't be surprised if the Standby line for Toy Story Mania remains at over two hours for the majority of the day.

Toy Story Mania! Fastpass first.

Then I would go for this order:

Indy
Tower Of Terror
Journey To The Center shows

If you've seen Tower of Terror or Toy Story Mania at another park, I would focus on the great rides and the unique things.

Most Japanese are still heading towards American Waterfront first, so I suggest going the other way. Go to Mysterious Island and FP Journey to the Center of the Earth, then hop in line & ride it. Then when you get off do 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, use your Journey FP and head off to Mermaid Lagoon and Arabian Coast for anything you want to do over there as most of the guests started in the opposite side of the park as you so it will be less crowded right now.

We did it this way and were clear of crowds and got on all the rides and shows we wanted to the first day except TOT which always had a line, but I was OK with that (did it the next day, it was OK, but wouldn't run their first again when returning).

But TOT and Indy are not like in other parks

awesome thanks guys for all the info. gonna be really helpful. I might just skip toy story this time to leave more time to do other things, besides ive been on the toy story mania at California Adventure a bunch of times. thanks again

If you want to just do the preshow in TOT I will agree but the ride portion is the same as DCA/WDS. Indy had so few differences, if you were going to see just a few attractions I'd say Indy is close enough. JTTCE is so cool...DO NOT miss it, even if you miss everything else in the park do Journey and 20,000 Leagues.

RUN to Toy Story Mania, get a fastpass, ride Tower of Terror, go to StormRider or Indy, get a FP or Standby, and then Journey

Re: Goin to Disney Sea right when it opens. So which rides should I get in line for f

Prometheus around what time is FP running out on weekdays? If we get in line at the turnstiles an hour before opening and run do you think we can get a FP? The parks seem to have lighter crowds lately so we were thinking of giving it a try tomorrow or Thursday.

Re: Goin to Disney Sea right when it opens. So which rides should I get in line for f

FP's ran out in 10~20 minutes, usually if guests dont run, there is a high chance they will not obtain fastpasses..we stop the line for fastpass in about 10~20 minutes and if you RUN, you can still get late fastpasses

Re: Goin to Disney Sea right when it opens. So which rides should I get in line for f

Thanks Prometheus! We might give it a try today or tomorrow then.

Fastpasses run out in 10 to 20 minutes after park opening? That's unbelievable! Has to be unprecedented in any Disney park.

Re: Goin to Disney Sea right when it opens. So which rides should I get in line for f

lucky for me going before golden week! :yea:

Anyway, you'll have to get there before park opening rather than just at park opening. Go for fastpasses for Toy Story and then go straight to your favorite/most-looking-forward-to ride. I'd go to Tower of Terror because they're closest. Or I'd go to Journey to the Center of the Earth. I think they would be good rides to start the day off! :thumbup:

Do they take "late" fastpasses, or fastpasses that have past the hour window?

Re: Goin to Disney Sea right when it opens. So which rides should I get in line for f

I don't see the need to rush to the back of the park, Indiana (and Ragin Spirits) have terrific single rider lines. We saved hours of waiting and a huge effort to acquire FPs by utilizing those.

Really it depends on your priorities - by far Journey is the most unique experience the park has to offer, though TDS's take on Tower of Terror is terrific (though the physical ride itself is the usual). I'd probably end up skipping TSM, especially if you've gotten to experience it in the US parks. I don't even like waiting 45 minutes for it at DCA.

Make sure you hit everything else though, it's an amazing park, and even the rides that are similar to US installations have a unique take. That's still probably true of TSM, but that may not be worth the effort.

Re: Goin to Disney Sea right when it opens. So which rides should I get in line for f

I agree with going for the unique rides. The others might have nice differences, but it's not the same as a totally unique ride.

The sole exception to this is Raging Spirits. It's both brief and underwhelming. Personally, I have little interest in battling the TSM crowd since i've done it many times before.
