FastPass+ Basic Info, Attraction List, and Suggested Priorities--Part I

[phabric]

We will be going Dec 20-27. This will be my first time doing FP. We will not be doing rope drop. No A&E.

Do you think I should try and get FP for the morning or try to do walk up in the morning? Or get FP for the afternoon?

FPs have most value (save the most time), starting late morning and through most of the afternoon. However, scheduling them later means that much longer before you can get a fourth or more. You must choose how to approach it--quality or quantity.

I am resigning myself to not get a fp+ for A&E and I'm pretty sure I won't get lucky enough for a sb+ test to happen on our MK day as well.

So can someone tell me what time A&E begin to meet each morning. I have tried to search for the info, but can't find it.

DH and I plan to RD our MK day (9a-10p), so I'm wondering how long we will wait if we try to standby A&E.

At park open, EMH or not.

To clarify what i read on the first post:

If I choose to do a split stay, with 6 nights YC MYP with 8 day hoppers, followed by 4 night GF RO ressie, I will be able to book at my 60 day mark for the MYP for 8 days, correct? Not just the 6 nights I am at YC with linked tickets?

That has a pretty big effect on whether I do the split stay or not. Thanks!

So if we RD it, we should get in fairly quickly? Awesome!

Thanks for this thread Mesaboy2; it's a great help. Hopefully, I'll have the process down pat by the time we take the kids next year

Don't forget you will be behind all the 9:00+ FP+ reservations. I would expect at least a 30 minute wait.

If it's just you and DH, you should heavily weigh the evening/night plan if you are not happy with your A&E rope drop location! Weights are likely less after 7pm...

I am doing my first split stay on our upcoming trip in November. From Nov 5 to the 9th we are a party of 5 with 5 day park hopper tickets staying at AKL.

My mom are I are staying until Nov 11th

On Nov 9th 3 of our party is leaving to return home and my mom and I are moving over to the Yacht Club. I need an additional day to be added to my mom and I existing 5 day park hoppers to make it a 6 day hoppers...I plan on adding the day to our tickets by going to guest relations the first day I get there.

My ? is about making the fast pass plus choices for our 6th day since I can not book FP+ until I add the additional day onto my tickets. and I was told you can only do this at a guest relations booth at the theme parks.

How does this work with making Fastpass + reservations. When I add the ticket will guest relations give me a reservation number to add to MDE or will it just automatically update on our magic bands... I am so confused I hope my ? even makes sense so some one can help me out.

Or do EMH RD for no FP+ competition!

Just wanted to stop by and say thank you- this info was really helpful in planning our trip, and we managed an amazing week with minimal waits anywhere! Thank you so much for the hard work you put into maintaing it and keeping it up to date!

Only a couple of weeks until I can book FP+ Is it easier to use the MDE app or your computer to grab the hard-to-get ones? First time with FP+, crossing my fingers!

Computer, every time!

In my experience, the computer is more reliable. I know some have reported using the app for this, but I personally wouldn't chance it. Good luck getting all your picks!!

crap. They are doing FP+ reservations on park opening now too/ I figured it would start at 10am. not actual park opening. That stinks. No more perfect plans for no waits first thing in the morning? Wow.

Has anyone else noticed that the countdown has been taken off of the phone app? Just wondering if I'm missing something. Thanks so much! April

 

[kellyfam03]

Thanks BudgieMama & MickeyMinnie! That's what I thought, but I saw a post saying to go mobile and got worried Here's hoping I get at least a few good ones

I was wondering the same thing about our split stay....

That's great to hear!!

Did you book your fastpasses first thing in the morning and get more later, or book them later and do rope drops? TIA

30 minutes would be ok for us; just don't want to wait 2hours!

If it's just you and DH, you should heavily weigh the evening/night plan if you are not happy with your A&E rope drop location! Weights are likely less after 7pm...

Thanks for that info! That was a concern for DH; what if we judge the time to get to RD wrong and there are tons of people in front of us . . . what do we do then? Now I know!

Or do EMH RD for no FP+ competition!

No morning EMH on our MK day (I wish!); that would have made it too easy



*Thanks for the help everyone! Since it is just DH and I, we are going with the flow as much as possible, but A&E was my one must do so I can get a picture for the kids, so want to be as prepared as possible.
