AK Finding Nemo The Musical FP+ Question

[Thorazine]

I am trying to plan my FastPass selections. If I wanted to use a FP+ for a 11:00am Nemo show, when would the FP+ be (what hour time interval)? (e.g. 10:30-11:30am?)

I assume it would not be set at exactly 11am when the show starts. I am assuming the Nemo FP+ have limited times slots that correspond to the showtimes.

Knowing the designated hour intervals is necessary to plan my other FP+'s . For example I can't have a 10am FP+ for Dino if the 11am Nemo show requires a 10:30 Nemo FP+.

Not totally helpful, but FotLK are for 30-15 min before the show, like 1pm show, 12:30-12:45 return time....

I'm hoping to get done with a ride FP quickly and try to get a FotLK FP for an earlier show for my trip, instead of waiting all the way until 5pm to leave the parks haha

Do not bother with a Nemo Musical FP.
They have been letting the guests in the standby line into the theater before they open the doors to FP guests.
I was stunned at this stupidity.
I had a FP, but since they opened the standby door well betore the FP doors, we just strolled in, standby, and walked right to the best seats in the house.
Very strange!

I have a pass and just checked it- fp for Nemo start 30mn before show time and end 15mn before show time. So a 12:00 show has a fp of 11:30-11:45 and your next fp can't start until 12:40- an hour and five minutes after the fp start time. I do agree that generally it is a waste of a fp. The exception is if you are not interested in/can't get fp for some combination of a Pandora ride, Safari, meet Mickey and Minnie, Dinosaur, and Expedition Everest.

Thanks! Why one hour and five minutes? I thought fast passes had a window of one hour?

The window for non-continuous shows is always 15 minutes. The block time is longer for this show because Disney knows how long it takes to watch the show. It's a 40mn show. For shorter shows, the blocked time is shorter. For non-shows, fp's can be used anytime within the one hour period and it is that one hour period that is blocked when making additional fp's. FP's for films like A Bug's Life and Muppets in 3D work the same way as ride fp's with a one hour window to use it.

Well, that is just incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!

There's truly no need for a Fastpass for that show. The theater is very large, and you'll get a good seat without one.

Thats surprising. The few times we did a FP, we were let in first into the reserved section for FP.
Obviously that has changed.
But I agree, there is little reason to get a FP for this show. The theater is large and there really are no bad seats.

In my experience, there has never been a reserved section for FP in the Nemo theater.

(But, for years, the FP guests were let in before the Standby line and FP guests could get first pick on virtually any seats they wanted.)

The last time we were there, part of the front middle was roped off where people were sitting before the rest of us entered. I just figured that was FP. Maybe it was a large group or event?
