Can anyone verify how long RSR Fast Passes are lasting on weekdays?

[ADLFAN]

I'm headed to the park TOMORROW!! And I was planning to start off in California Adventure to grab fast passes for RSR, but if they're lasting til noon or so on a non early entry day, I think I would rather have our first sight be Main Street USA! Has anyone noticed how long they're lasting til? Thanks for your help!

You'll have at least a few hours. Plus Tuesdays are usually not the high attendance day of the week. You could also send a runner after you've all been in DL for an hour or so.

When we were there in mid-November with similar crowds to now, FPs lasted until about 1:30pm. But with Soarin' down, I wonder if that will change a bit.

I suggest calling Ask Otto just before you arrive at the park. If you ask about "Radiator Springs Racers Fastpass times," it should tell you the current wait time, plus the current FP window. I just called (12:35 pm) and it said the current wait was 80 minutes and there are no more Fastpasses available. You can call tomorrow just before you arrive at the parks to determine if FPs are still available and/or if you have time to go to DL first before going to DCA to get a RSR FP.

Ask Otto: (714) 520-7090

I have the Touring Plans app on my phone and it tells you if there are still FP's and the return time. Not sure how accurate it is but there are usually still passes available at 10:30 AM....

We were there a couple weeks ago. We were able to get a fastpass at about 1 or 2 I think, on a thursday(park opened at 10). It was for 5:30-6:30. We tried again on Friday but by the time DH got there, after 2pm (park opened at 9 but it was an early entry day), they were gone. Saturday we got one at about 9, for 11:35-12:35, park had opened at 8. So they're absolutely lasting until noon.

Touring Plans is not always very accurate in my experience. Especially on FP availability. When we were there in October, it frequently said that FP distribution was over a couple of hours before it actually was for RSR.

We loved Otto and used the phone line all the time when we were in DLR last time. It's a great way to find out the real scoop on wait times, etc. It isn't always 100% accurate, but usually within 20 minutes on FP return times and 5-10 minutes on wait times. Guessing the inaccuracy is due to the last time the info was updated in the system and how long it takes you to walk to the attraction or FP booth.

Today (Monday, MM day 9:00 opening) they were out at 11:45. Not sure what time they actually ran out though

I'm curious to see if this was typical of EMH-mornings or was the demand higher than normal. I'm tempted to call Ask Otto a few times randomly for the next few days to see when RSR FPs run out (or at least what time frame).

Today is a holiday for some.......maybe attendance is up somewhat.

Thanks so much for the responses! Looks like it's Disneyland first then! I'm lucky enough to be bringing 3 first time visitors and I do love California Adventure, but I think Main Street with it's non retail buildings mixed in and it's horse drawn transportation is just so classic and impressive! 12 hours til we leave for the airport!!

Just to follow-up, I called Ask Otto again today (noon) and it said RSR has a wait time of 55 minutes and the next available FPs were for 4:50 pm to 5:50 pm. Mousewaits was last updated at 11:44 am (so about 15 minutes earlier) and had the same FP information and a wait time of 45 minutes. TP Lines had an posted wait time of 65 minutes, an estimated wait time of 39 minutes, and a FP return time of 6:50 pm to 7:50 pm. So hopefully, ADLFAN, you were able to get the RSR FPs!

Thanks for the info! I want to try to ride RSR's at night and so I'm going to wait a bit before getting in line for my FP's.

 

[figment_jii]

I called back at 12:30 pm and the FP time had moved to 5:55 pm to 6:55 pm. Another 30 minutes later, it was at 6:20 pm to 7:20 pm.

So I'm headed there May 6 and 7th. We'll be starting in DCA on the 7th, which is a Thursday, so no Early Entry. Would it be better to head straight to TSMM, or grap fastpasses for Anna and Elsa and RSR first?
