Barnstormer & Dumbo fast passes

[CJK]

Did I read somewhere that the fast pass machines for these 2 rides are not connected to the other fast pass rides in the park? For example, could we theoretically have a fast pass for Barnstormer and a fast pass for another ride such as Winnie the Pooh at the same time? I may be imagining this, I'm not sure!

Dumbo is unconnected, and so is Mickey's M&G at Main Street. There is a rumor that Barnstormer is also unconnected, but I am not sure that is verified.

Contrary to some recent reports, Barnstormer is indeed connected to the rest of the park wide FP system, as verified by Josh at easyWDW.
As pp said, dumbo and Mickey town hall M&G are, so far, unconnected.

Hmmm, so it would appear that all of the fast passes are now connected. I may still try it when we're there. Thanks all! With all the changes in WDW this year, it's hard to keep up!!

Well, on Saturday Josh pulled FPs for both barnstormer and Dumbo, one after the other. You can check his site and see the photo of them....

This post (from Friday on touring plans blog): http://blog.touringplans.com/2013/01/25/dumbo-and-barnstormer-fastpass-now-connected/ says Dumbo IS connected, while this post (from yesterday on easywdw): http://www.easywdw.com/uncategorized/quick-magic-kingdom-update/#more-10433 says Dumbo IS NOT connected (scroll down a bit to see it).

So we have conflicting reports. Or, the FP availability times are changing from one day to the next.

DD loves Dumbo and Barnstormer may be the only roller coaster she'll get on, so here's to hoping they're not in fact connected when we go.

Well, if they are both connected, try pulling a FP for pooh, you may get a surprise dumbo FP with it.

Don't worry about getting a Dumbo FP.
They are not generally needed.

Just get one for Barnstormer.

Good to know, thanks!! ETWB is still not on FP, correct?

Correct.

Correct.

Correct. And evidently the only way to do ETWB without a minimum 45 minute wait, is to be at the front of the crowd at rope drop and head straight there without stopping for anything (FP's , photos, bathroom, etc)

 

[ErinsMommy]

We'll be in the wait until the last minute when the park is closing crowd and hope for the best on that end of it.

Interesting. We were at the MK on Saturday Jan. 26 and I got FPs to Peter Pan and then walked immediately to get FPs for Dumbo and got them no problem.
