We're going again this summer. Do you think the kiosks will be useful then? I don't want to stand in line for 15 minutes (or more) just to get a FP for something that has a 15 minute line.
Summer, hmm it's been a while but I think June to early August is pretty busy, much busier than the first week of March, later August would be best.
I have to think they are "monitoring" this and planning accordingly. Seems odd they would purposely increase the kiosk lines just to frustrate and have folks give up, but the theory is out there.
We still have been enough that we would reserve every other night at MK (esp 7DMT) and DHS. Then adjust later/closer. We have no interest in going after the 4th-would far prefer to RD without FP+ at AK and EPCOT (knocked out Soarin and TT by 9:30 without FP+) and then have some prime slots for that evening.
EX Mon AM-AK no FP+ (can do it all by 1PMish)
Mon Eve-FP+ 7DMT/Space/BTMRR/Parade/CTM/Wishes.
Tues AM-EPCOT (Soarin and TT without FP+, then do the rest SB easily).
Tues EVE- TSM/TOT/ST/Fantasmic
Wed AM-spontaneous
Wed EVE FP+ Splash/PPan/7DMT
Thurs AM-spontaneous
Thurs EVE- FP+RNR/TOT/TGMR
ETC.
If you have an ADR at EPCOT one evening-then maybe reserve TT/SE/MS/ADR/Illuminations and RD MK without FP+.
Keep in mind most of our AM's would be golfing, fishing, Clearwater Beach and even US/IOA, maybe a RD here and there-all spontaneous choices depending on weather, rest, mood etc.
