ROUGH DETAILS OF TRIP:

Saturday, August 3rd: Travel Day/ Check In (We are planning to leave around 4:30am as till will be roughly a 9 to 9 1/2 hour drive)

Sunday, August 4th: Hollywood Studios

Monday, August 5th: Animal Kingdom

Tuesday, August 6th: Epcot

Wednesday, August 7th: Magic Kingdom

Thursday, August 8th: Magic Kingdom

Friday, August 9th: I am leaving this day open as I am letting my friend decided halfway through the trip what she would like to do (Totally not like me as I wanted everything I can plan planned) So her options are 1. pick her favorite park to go back to or park hop between all 4 parks before we leave.

We are working on shirt ideas for each park day and once we have decided I will post the designs.

This trip feels so far away!
 
Good Morning Everyone and Happy Monday!!!

We are officially 99 days away from booking out fastpasses!!!

I have one questions about park hoppers and fastpasses as the last time I had park hopper you went to the ride for fastpasses. Can anyone tell me if we decided to try and get all 4 parks in on our last day can we set 3 fastpasses per park or is it just 3 fastpasses for that day till you use them?

Here is what I am thinking for fastpasses.

August 4th (Hollywood Studios)
- Slinky Dog Dash (Tier 1)
- Rockin' Roller Coaster (Tier 2)
- Fantasmic (Tier 2)

August 5th (Animal Kingdom)
- Flight of Passage (Tier 1)
- Dinosaur (Tier 2)
- Expedition Everest (Tier 2)

August 6th (Epcot)
- Frozen Ever After (Tier 1)
OR
- Soarin' Around the World (Tier 1)
-The Seas with Nemo and Friends (Tier 2)
- Spaceship Earth (Tier 2)

August 7th (Magic Kingdom)
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
- Big Thunder Mountain
- Space Mountain

August 8th (Magic Kingdom)

- Pirates of the Caribbean

- Under the Sean - Journey of the Little Mermaid
- Haunted Mansion

August 9th (Maybe all Parks)
- No fastpasses will be booked ahead of time.

 
SMALL UPDATE:

I am thinking about booking Ohana for breakfast on August 8th. My best friend is a big Stitch fan and I have never done Ohana!
 


Just a quick update::yay:

I have made a 9:10 a.m. breakfast reservation at O'hana for August 8th.

I will be calling between now and when we leave to see if I can get a 8:30 or 8:45. I know that doesn't seem like much of a difference to some peoples but it is to me!

I cannot wait to check out O'hana!!
 
Good Morning Everyone!!

I like your choices of Fast passes. First trip without mom? 3 fast pass per park. But you can always get an additional fast pass once you have used your third. You can always do that when in the same park. I'm curious as to how it works when you hop. I would assume once you have used your three, you could get one anywhere it is available.
 
We'll be there during your timeframe. From everything I've read recently we may have difficulty getting the new attraction fastpasses. Even at 7 am 180 days out. Be prepared with a second option. Florida schools start on the 12th so l suspect more Florida and southern state traffic that week.
 
Looks like you have a great start to planning! I wouldn’t book Fantasmic ahead of time. I’ve always been able to get it sameday well I’m in Hollywood Studios. And if you book the fireworks early. Then you block yourself from getting extra fast passes for the rest of the day. Just some advice from one Disney fan to another! I travel down that time frame every year.

Thank you! Yes, this is the first time without her and she is not happy lol just kidding. But she is as much of a disney fan as I am.

Oh i know it may be difficult i am going to try for those first then fill in from there!

My concern is if I don't book it ahead of time and cant get it same day we will waste at least and hour and a half waiting on the show to open up. We did this fastpass last year as well.
 
Love the shirt designs!!

Thank you! I cannot wait till get get them made! I actually already have my Animal Kingdom shirt from last year :) My count down needs to hurry up!!!!

Book Fastpasses: 51 Days (7 Weeks 2 Days)
Leave for Disney: 111 Days (15 Weeks 6 Days)

Haha Looking at the weeks makes me feel better! :rotfl2:
 
Good Morning Everyone!!

Just a quick little updated!

So I broke down and told me friend about her surprise about going to eat at Ohana! :rolleyes1

Lastly, I am think about adding an extra night stay to our resort so we aren't leaving really late on Friday just to drive about 2 hours down to road. I am afraid though if I do that we will lose our quick service we received. I am think about calling today to see what it would do and how much it would be to add it. IF it will mess with it I think we will do it as a different reservation under my friends name.

I have requested June 4th off at work so I can work on FastPasses!!! :earboy2::surfweb:

I am about to go crazy since there is nothing else I can do until our trip!!!!
