Am I the only one

I made all my fast passes at 60 days. Then, I just forget about them! The night before I check them out and "tweak" them as needed. I also switch them around quite a bit during the actual day.

Don't worry about it. Lots of people stress over it. I'm not one of them, but that's just me. Not only have I changed them, last trip I was changing them on the bus on the way to the park!

mine get changed around a lot, mostly times. However, I do not make them 60 days before the trip. I made mine for Saturday last week. Yesterday I changed some of the times. There were better times available.

Picking a ride 60 days out is like trying to decide what color underwear I will wear.

I think the underwear thing would be much easier!

........ But I found that after a couple of trips I was able to accept it better (mentally). I'm never going to like it as much as traditional FP. (Never.) But I'm getting past the stress. The first hurdle for me (YMMV) was accepting that stuff's going to go off track, and not being a slave to the FP+. Now I try to emphasize the positives: you can sleep a little later if you want and still hit a headliner with less park time, you can show up at Epcot in the late afternoon and do Soarin,you can do more on arrival day with some confidence that you can hit E rides.

Nothing is perfect..........Helen's statement that things are going to "go off track" and "not being a slave to FP+" are motto's I live by in my planning. I do see how hardcore attraction folks would find this unacceptable but this is what it is and its not changing............you have to work with what your given.

When planning I know a general focus and I try to fit FP's into that.......but I leave a wide breadth just in case things change.........and they do. However, you'd be surprised how often they don't. To me its just 3 rides/attractions...........I can always wait.....(but with that I always try for a 7DMT FP+ because that line can be stupid.........even in mid-Sept ) I too am updating in the 60 days leading up to arrival.............again its best for changing times......which is what we've done quite easily. Never gotten lucky enough to score and A&E on day 27! We've also never had an issue trading out a FP+ when were' in the parks............the phone app works great.........for us.

Wishing everyone a wonderful trip and may you all get the FP's you desire.

Depends man. What if I wanna wear white linen shorts and go to AK. If I ride Kali, then I can't wear anything but white undies or I risk them showing after they get wet. God just so many things to consider. Is this what Walt had in mind when he dreamed up WDW?

I made ADR's on July 2. I have changed most of them from my original plans. Some because I didn't get what I wanted the first time. Others because I changed my mind about the restaurant. I hope I'm done.
