***1st Week of December Thread ADR Plans, Park Hours, and dealing with Pop Warner***

[Iowamomof4]

Looking at tomorrow's (rated as lower crowds than our timeframe) FP availability again for a party of 2...
MK has FPs available for everything except BTMRR, Fof parade, it's a small world. It's worth noting that while there is an availability for 7DMT, it is for 8:50pm (first available time).
EP has FPs available for everything except FEA.
HS has FPs available for everything.
AK has FPs available for everything except DINOSAUR. Kilimanjaro safaris are available starting at 1pm.

Looking at 10/11, or 30 days from today, for a party of 2. So everyone staying onsite should have booked by now and offsite guest could book starting at 7am EST this morning.
MK has FPs available for everything except BTMRR, Enchanted Tales with Belle, Peter Pan's Flight, and 7DMT.
EP has FPs availablefor everything except FEA. Soarin, Mission space, & TT are available starting in the afternoon time slots.
HS has FPs availablefor everything. But TSMM the earliest is at 2:15pm.
AK has FPs available for everything except DINOSAUR. Kilimanjaro safaris are available starting at 1pm.

I didn't look to see what the crowd calendar was rating 10/11.

And BTMRR, IASW, and Dinosaur are all down for refurb right now.

Oh thanks for adding that, I had forgotten to consider refurbs! I did think it odd that IASW was not available. haha

 

[JamieOak]

I see now that it gives a different message for attractions down for refurb and those that are unavailable.

FEA: "There are no more FastPass+ times for this experience, but standby may be available."
BTMRR: "FastPass+ Service Unavailable"

ohhh ok! I was thinking that I wasn't planning on getting a small word fp, but was just debating it!

Thank you @Candycane83 I never even thought about it! I was thinking all about it today after @Lisa F posted it!! I knew the few fp I really wanted, and I know which rides I really want to ride..( for MK at least) .. But not sure which are more popular than others once you move away from 7dmt. It's helpful to know ! But I know it takes time to post the info!! Anything is always helpful though if you see any interesting patterns

While I have started looking at FP availability, I am a member of WDWprepschool and they provide their own maps with the attractions color-coded with 4 different colors. The categories are:
Do 1st hour (or FP)
Do 2nd hour (or FP)
Do 3rd hour (or FP)
Do anytime

I think I will be using this a lot in the next 2 weeks up to my FP date.

I also copied the FP ranking from the FP FAQ thread on the DIS board into my spreadsheet for reference. They used an A, B, C ranking with FPs at A attractions saving the most time, FPs at B attractions saving some time, and FPs at C attractions saving little time. That also is helping.

Good evening everyone! Just when I thought I was set, my husband is contemplating another Epcot day . ..may have to move something around. Anyone know what the chances are of a tusker house early breakfast opening up? Is it a higher capacity restaurant? Thanks!​

What day would you be looking for? I have one I'll probably be letting go at some point.

I think either 12/5 or 12/6 ....still scrambling through my charts! thank you!

12/6, I have a PPO TH for 6. I'm kind of waiting to see what happens with ROL before I decide for sure to let it go though. If I do, I'll see if you want to coordinate.

 

[rasadkowski]

Oh that is too funny it's actually exactly what id be searching for!! (For 6 too!) Please do let me know. I'd appreciate it so much!

Just dropping in to say hi everyone!!!
I feel like the calendar is moving soooo slooooowww the closer we get to December!!!

I'm getting really psyched for our MVMCP night. I just took a look at wait times tonight for MNSSHP. Most every ride is 10 minutes or less.

7DMT-10
Space-5
Haunted Mansion-15
Splash-10
Pirates-15
Buzz-10
Magic Carpets-10
Dumbo-10
Oddly enough Tomorrowland Speedway-30

They also have treat locations (as well as characters) for MNSSHP marked on the map in MDE which I thought was pretty cool.

 

[Candycane83]

Tomorrowland speedway was down earlier, maybe that's why

Those are some awesome waits! When I just checked the Lines app, they show 7dmt at 20 minutes posted wait (17 expected) but even that is pretty amazing. It's not even that late yet!

I can't believe none of the parties have sold out yet. It sure makes me wonder what's going on. I'm trying not to get my hopes up for lower crowds during our trip, but it's soooo hard not to!

Yep still awesome waits. I looked at MDE around 9:10pm. Im not sure of the party schedule tonight but possible something near Main St. just ended causing people to head to the back of the park.
