Ooooh best question ever! Mine would be Peter Pan, PoTC then over to Buzz and Autopia, finished off with a trip to Endor on StarTours! I reckon that is doable in an hour...
What about you Mrsya?

All that in an hour!?  :o

Would your hour be on a Tuesday in the middle of January at 8am...?  ;)

I think I'd run for fastpass at big thunder mountain, phantom manor while I waited, back to btm (twice cause obviously we'd use babyswitch in our hour), off to Pirates and down to Buzz if there were no queue.

Hmm there's a few rides I've not done - so Ratatouille, Crush's Coaster then Tower of Terror. They weren't open (I think) on our first visit to DLP in 2001 then last year we had our little ones with us (and Ratatouille opened the month after)

:) BTM, Buzz, Autopia and watching Dreams!! If I had super legs I would go for Ratatouille, as it was still under construction when we went last year!

Mrsya, you made me giggle! My son has some severe special needs so we rarely have to wait long in queues, we average a 5 to 10 minute on-ride-off time so I reckon we could pull it off, and I chose rides that are close!!!
I agree on the Ratatouille SVioletS - if only it was a little closer it would have made it on my list for sure!!!

For me it would be Peter Pan first as it's so magical, then phantom manor and btm as I love the atmosphere of the rides and of frontierland. Then I'd hot foot it to ratatouille which was amazing, and crushes coaster if I had time as I haven't done that yet.

I'm working on no queue times...as we are doomed to school holiday visits in reality we would only ever manage 1or 2 at best.... But reality sucks!

I know its daft but I would honestly go round and round phantom manor, then for the last 10 mins just stand and take in the atmosphere of Frontierland.   ;D ;D ;D

With only one hour I will stay sit on a bench in Central Plaza watching the castle and feel the magic of this place.

Walk through Discovery Arcade to the Nautilus, go in that and then pop into Emporium and Boardwalk Candy Palace to do some shopping :)

Ohh, in just ONE hour? I'd limit myself to one ride, probably Pirates or Pan, if I could grab a fastpass, and then just wander through the castle, and then wait and watch the parade! :D

Ratatouille and then watch dreams. Perfect way to spend an hour 😃

An hour, why not two?

But if it is just one hour, it would be in the morning, a crisp Summer one...

Starting off with a morning stroll down Main Street USA, just before the Park opens when the residents and Cast Members are just waking up, hearing the morning music loop echo down the main thoroughfare and filling the small American town with life, hearing the birds tweeting and the Sun just rising up above the rooftops. Now that's how I want to start any day, or hour, or the time I have.

That would take around 15 minutes, maybe 20 if I take my time.

After I would make my way through Fort Comstock to Thunder Mesa, catch an early morning excavation or two on Big Thunder Mountain and venture into the dilapidated grounds of Ravenswood Manor to experience that awful wedding night all over again.

That would take around 15 minutes if I am quick, 30 minutes left!

After I would trek through the South American tropics to the Spanish Main and join my motley crew in a spot of plunderin' on a Spanish fort.

And finally, to round it all up...

Catch the next Shuttle to Space via the mighty Columbiad Cannon, courtesy of the Baltimore Gun Club. And then I'll pick up myself (or what's left of me afterwards anyway after re-entry!) and take a final stroll down Main Street again to finish it off good an' proper!

If I'd had only an hour, I would take a stroll through Main Street USA and grab a drink at Market House Deli. Then go sit on Central Plaza and just enjoy the atmosphere and magic, while listening to the Main Street USA loop and looking at the castle.

But almost every month I go for a day where I only have 2/3 hours at the park, and basically all I do then is a little bit of shopping, grab a bite to eat, maybe go on Pirates of the Caribbean and just watch the parade.

Pirates and shopping in Harrington's!

All wonderful answers and thinking about what I'd do with just one hour has me over-excited at the prospect of nearly 120 hours there next month - admittedly I've got to sleep at some point...

Mine would be standing at the top of Main Street, soaking up at atmosphere and people watching. Looking at the faces of people new to the park and the amazed looks on their faces as they walk under the station platform for the first time and the magic comes into view and hits them.

Great answer Grovesie!!  :D

I would hop on BTM because it was my first ever coaster. And if there's some time left, get Main Street and soak up the crowds.
Title: Re: If you only had one hour...
Post by: norhel on April 21, 2015, 04:00:56 PM
I would be at Main Street looking in the shops or just sitting on a bench and look.

Difficult question!  :(

For me it would be walking main street, than Fantom Manor, Molly Brown, rush to the Dragon and by exiting, looking for the castle bridge to the plaza and the surroundings.
