Best time to meet Mickey at MK without using a FP?

[ejdmomma]

We are just spending one full day at the MK, rest of the week we will be at the beach. Anyway, trying to minimize our wait time but don't want to use one of our FP to meet Mickey. We also plan on being there before rope drop but was planning on hitting the popular rides first. Squeeze in Mickey first? Come back sometime later in the day? What are the lines typically like?

(FYI - we will be there Mar. 24th, staying the night on site and have already booked our FP for the day).

Thanks in advance!

We were able to walk right in to meet him AND Tinkerbell during the afternoon parade last month! It was awesome!

Does Mickey's fp count towards your fp+? I thought they didn't but I could be wrong.

They used to be disconnected in legacy FP. But I believe there is no such deal under FP+.

Parade time is a great plan

....unless you want to see the parade of course.

If that's the case, then I recommend watching the parade from right outside Town Square Theater and ducking in just as the parade is ending.

We did this last March. We were about halfway down Main Street and walked in on our way of out the park - no wait.

I walked right up to him and Tinkerbell during the main street electrical parade on my last night (it was a Saturday in July). We had some long, memorable, and lovely conversations! And he told me about his experiences on a safari ride- so we made cute lion faces !

Last weekend it was less than 10min wait at around 8pm. Most people were waiting for the 9pm EP.

FYI pp is correct, it does count as one of your three fp+ now. No longer a disconnected fp.
