    "Official" 2018 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - Holiday Magic

    Went solo to Friday, 12/7 party. No interest in parades, fireworks, M&G, or parties...just rides. Got in at 3:45...already had FP’s for Space, Splash, and BTMRR until 6:00. Stopped riding at 11:30pm and just strolled for last 30 minutes. Ride list was: Splash 3x, BTMRR 3x, Space 2x, PoC 2x...

    "Official" 2018 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - Holiday Magic

    Background: I'll be attending my first party this Friday (12/7). Will be in town for business, so this is the only ticket I bought. I ended up making FP reservations from 4:00pm-6:00pm. I also have a magic band from 3-4 years ago. Question: Do I need to do something to "link" my magic band with...

    "Official" 2018 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - Holiday Magic

    New to MVMCP...after reading info in first post, still have a question. Are ride attractions open from 6-7 for MVMCP’ers? If yes, without FP? Thanks.

    4th Fastpass easier today 6/7 than yesterday?

    No kidding...the carnage of FP+ will go on for a long time. I find it amusing that people can "get a good 4th+ FP" by continuallly keeping their nose in their phone. Awesome. And I say anybody who thinks recent changes will open up more FP availability for 4th and beyond FP is living in a...

    WDW hours uuugggg

    Or 10am-5:00pm. Or maybe 8:00am-2:00am, no?

    Do you like the Fastpass+ system?

    Our family goes to WDW to (shocker)...ride rides. As in headliners. Can't ride nearly as many under FP+, so for us it's an epic fail. After experiencing FP+ in 2015, count us as "out" for the foreseeable future...80% because of the suckiness of FP+.

    Port Canaveral bagpiper??

    Cool videos. It was difficult to hear him, so I don't know what he was playing, but it did spook me out a bit. There's an opening in a Bond movie where James gets into a helicopter on church/cemetery grounds, and as the helicopter lifts off, there's a priest looking directly at James and...

    Port Canaveral bagpiper??

    Left last Sunday (7/24) out of Port Canaveral on a Royal Caribbean cruise, and have also been out of there several times on Disney cruises. This time I noticed some guy playing bagpipes as we were heading out of the channel. Dude was wearing a kilt and everything. Anybody know if this is a...

    Are "After Hours" and "Early Morning Magic" Cutting Into Regular Hours?-Analytics (Long)

    As a fairly disinterested by-stander, I have no problem 'fessing up that AK has more hours. And I'm glad it's great for those who enjoy AK. But then I also have to add that when we were in WDW last summer we spent a grand total of 0 hours in AK. Yep, didn't even make the cut. So from my...

    Disney Calling...

    Outbound calling to try to get guests to go to a different park? That is so bizarre-o, and has got to be really inefficient (unless you're trying to use scare tactics to get them to move....nice). So why would Disney even issue so many FP's in the first place if they are just going to try to...

    Why wait times have gotten crazy

    wisblue, I would merely say that you can't know what to expect. The examples I gave for Space Mountain and TSMM were only once out of several times that we rode each of those rides. All I know is that I never saw anything like those inverted SB/FP lines in many visits prior to FP+. Even aside...

    Why wait times have gotten crazy

    I agree with bcrook's earlier comment that longer dedicated FP+ lines are a red flag. We ran into that a couple times in early June. Once was at Space Mountain...SB time was something like 70 or 80 minutes when we used our FP. So we walk in, go down those couple sets of steps, and hit the...

    Why wait times have gotten crazy

    A few thoughts..first, regarding SB wait times. In June we experienced some of that, with the largest variance being RnRC...posted SB was 90 minutes (which I would typically never get in), actual was 55 minutes (this was mid-morning). I can understand jacking up the times at the end of the day...

    Not to reopen that can of worms but...

    Just got back last Sunday. My conclusion...FP+ only stunk 70% of what I thought it would. Not sure if a 30% reduction in expected stinkage is enough. The good news was that FP+ was really good for our departure day on Sunday (well, FP+ in conjunction with ticketless MB's). Kids and I had been...

    True or False...a child can use a parent's FP?

    That's one of the things my wife said...that she doesn't like the way the MB feels (which she really doesn't). The response was "you don't have to wear it...you can carry it". The CM also said they only have a limited number of cards, and that once they were gone, they were gone. And that this...

    True or False...a child can use a parent's FP?

    To clarify ( and maybe the CM didn't understand this, although I think she did)...we weren't asking for an extra MB or anything like that. Basically just a "dumb" card that could get her into the room while we were at a park.

    Here now...couple line observations

    From Monday, 6/1 at MK. At 1:00 in the afternoon we used our FP for Space Mountain. Posted SB time was 105 minutes. I was surprised to find FP line backed waaay up (not all that far into the building), and significantly longer than the SB line. Good news was that the FP line moved well, but it...

    True or False...a child can use a parent's FP?

    False, according to a front desk person at Beach Club. My wife asked for a room key for various reasons, and in the course of conversation mentioned one of the reasons was that the kids could use her FP sometimes ( she doesn't always go to the parks with us). The gal said, "You can't do that...

    Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Closed for Past 2 Days

    I just hope there isn't anything wrong with the left phalangee. We are flying down to FL in a matter of hours. I will be completely honked off if this isn't fixed when we're there. This is the only "big" Disney ride the kids haven't done, and after being away a few years, I'll be one unhappy...

    Average Day at MK- Rope Drop, Crowds, and Wait Times

    Interesting discussions, especially Josh's contributions. There's something that just doesn't compute yet in my head though. Take Journey to Imagination for example...did that ever have more than a 5-10 minute wait pre-FP+? So now with FP+...suddenly a bunch of people who weren't willing to wait...
