Tip for shorter lines in all Parks

While my husband and I were taking the Keys to the Kingdom tour, we learned that it is better to start your day at any park from the left working to the right. Because Disney research has found that most people tour all parks in Disney from the Right to the left. For shorter lines, start your day after going through Cinderella's castle from the left. Lines will be definitely shorter. We did this one day and walked right on to Pirates of the Carribean.

We've always done that - even before we knew about the tip to always go left - but since we go during busy times (July / August) it doesn't work.

I usually go left at MK, cause I can go on 2 of my fav rides Splash & BTM ride 1 and FP the other before lines get too crazy.

We did this our last day at MK Sunday June 29th, and walked on BTMR twice...we could have gone on more but the kids thought twice was enough! We also hit Haunted Mansion, Dumbo, Tomorrowland Speedway, Winnie the Pooh and Carousel of Progress and then ate lunch at Pinochio's Village Haus...I looked down at my watch as we finished lunch and it was only noon!! (We strated touring about 9:15am!)

Usually day 1 at MK is started in Fantasyland...we can usually do everything pretty quickly...we arrive at the park well before park opening! Then we go into Tomorrowland. Day 2 we usually start to the left.

I always head to Peter Pan first, then POTC and make my way around counterclockwise.

Thanks! I remember hearing this on "Fan's Guide to WDW", but I wondered if it was really true. I figured everyone would be immediately heading to BTMRR and SplashMn. But I guess it is true. Now I'll definitely do that.

I'm a lefty and I tend to lead us to the left too. We always cut down by Casey's and CP and over the bridge into Adventure Land. I also go left when there are split lines (like Pirates). It's more habit for me than anything, I think.

We did this and it worked out great. By using this tip with getting to a park at
opening we covered all but one major ride before 11:30. I had heard this on
one of the Disney Travel Channel Shows that followed families around and this
was one of their tips.
