Rope drop

Gringotts at rope drop โ€” line balloons fast. Then Mummy (riders) or MIB (everyone). Save shows for the heat.

Must do

  • Escape from Gringotts (42" โ€” Briggs + Louie OK)
  • Hogwarts Express (needs park-to-park)
  • MEN IN BLACK Alien Attack (42")
  • Despicable Me Minion Mayhem
  • E.T. Adventure
  • Animal Actors / Bourne Stuntacular (A/C break)
  • Mummy (48"+ riders)

Skip

  • Rip Ride Rockit (51"+, skip unless time)

Express / Lightning Lane

Skip Express. Lines manageable midweek; rope drop covers headliners.

Rain backup

Best rain park โ€” many indoor rides + theaters. Stack Bourne Stuntacular and Animal Actors back-to-back.

Meals

Height blocks

  • Bowen (46โ€): out at Mummy (48โ€)
  • Briggs/Louie: out at Mummy, Rip Ride Rockit (51โ€)

Group split: riders on Mummy while non-riders do Minion Mayhem next door. Regroup at Mummy exit.
