BBB/A&E/CRT - will timing work

[henry72]

Today was my day to book FP+. It was hard to get A&E at a time that would work. I ended up having to book it on my BBB/CRT day.

This is on a Monday. Is it doable or too tight? Not sure how long to expect for BBB (& we wanted to do photo shoot afterwards.) I can show up early to BBB if that will help.

BBB - 3:30
A&E - 4-5
CRT - 5:30

Honestly, what would concern me the most is your A & E time. The characters are only doing half days in the park, as it has been said they'll only be doing meet and greets until the early evening (which most assume is 5pm). No one can say for certain right now, but given their wait times and all the chaos surrounding them, a lot of character/Disney experts are predicting the FP+ return line can and may be an hour long or more. The fact that your time is later in the day there is a greater chance of back up in the FP+ queue and the standby line, so it could all cause you to have to wait longer than you plan.

We will all know more about this after the 20th when we all start reporting back about how long we had to wait to see them with our FP+. If that makes sense.

Yeah, I worried about that too. I may try moving them to another day but it was hard to get them and this was booking at midnight.

My other concern is the parade that is going on. We have two things that start at 3:30 and will need to cross the parade route.

Ok - I cancelled Anna & Elsa for that day and move them to the next day. No use adding stress to my day.

So now I have...
3:30 BBB
4:40 Rapunzel
5:30 CRT

On Tuesday we are going to try and do JTA at HS in the morning so I booked A&E at 2:30. Assuming we get a morning JTA time, I think this is doable.

one thing you might try is to go early morning to see Rapunzel. When i went 2 weeks ago, i did rope drop, ran to PP ride then did mermaid ride then got in line for Rapunzel/Snow White which may have taken 20-30 mins at most, then got in line for Cinderella and Aurora, then rode the carousel and was in line for BOG by 10:30. Then if that works, you can change the FP for something else.

When the OP is going Cinderella will meet with Rapunzel. Anna & Elsa are meeting together with a visiting Princess on the other side of Princess FairyTale Hall

I did not make FP+ for A&E and I hope I'm not going to regret it!
We have an 8am appointment at BBB, so my plan is to get in line as soon as we're done. The park opens at 9 and we have a CRT ressie at 10:20. I guess I will have to wait until they are actually there to see how the early morning standby wait is. I tried looking for A&E FP's this morning just in case, but I didn't see them listed at all.
