Our DD has heart problems. and its extreme heat and humidity this week is not helping - she also could end up in the ER due to this extreme -
we made FP+ and we do make the
DAS work, and sometimes, we may only do 2 rides and have to leave, and I still feel the DAS is working. One thing that confused us is we got a DAS return time for Toy Story, but had to leave the park, then MK was open until 2am after a 5 hour nap, we decided we were ready to hit the MK (and no sun bearing down!) We got to MK during regular hours and went to get a DAS return time - ah, but the Toy Story return time was there - they (CM at 7 Dwarf Mine Train) worked some magic and gave us a return time, but told us to go fix it at Guest Relations... but since There is no FP after hours (emh night) but there were no lines either - she loved it - and we didn't go back to GR...
next day, again it happened (I could be mixing up days) so I went to Guest Relations, and they said not to worry the DAS return will understand (and they gave us a das return time there)
It has been working - but the heat - I wish we could've gone in Oct! But I also planned tours and things that interested her - and that has helped make this a great vacation for her!
Also what has helped is the
MDE ap, getting our 3 FP+ on our ap, I can move those times, or change those attractions - so that has worked better than I expected. Its harder when I had to split up and wanted my own FP+!! I like that the DAS return doesn't expire, as she did go back 3 hours later to ride something - and the DAS was still there. So it is working better than I thought it could for our needs
I also agree that for the majority of the attractions the FP lines are less then 15 min, Soarin today was quite long (over 40 min, and probably longer but since I was a single rider I skipped at least 200 people, and that's not exaggerating as the ride holds 87 people, and 87 come down, then there are a long line of people, then the FP kiosk - thats where I had already waited 30 min!
Figment, the FP line was getting long, it moved a bit... then I realized I hadn't moved - so I bailed, and then found out the ride was down - so long lines could mean the attraction is down, which clogs the system down -
The CM's have been so kind, and joyful - and it can't be easy in this heat!
