Character interaction FP+ worth it? (Not frozen)

[mickeyfan32]

I'm heading to Disney in May with my 4 and 1 yr old. My 4 yr old absolutely loves the characters. When we went when he was 2 it was his favorite part. Is it worth it to book the characters as a fp+? We aren't interested in the frozen characters.

It was for us with my 3 yr old grandson. The lines for Buzz and Woody at HS were very long, so a fp+ made sense. It worked well for Mickey at the Mk as well. He loves meeting characters, but we don't want him in long lines all day doing it. Some we just ran onto with shorter lines, but for the scheduled meet and greets in their own areas, we use FP+.

DHS has character meet and greet fast pass? That would be awesome but I don't see that in the FP+ selections.

I'll double check, I could've sworn we had a FP for that- but it's been a few months so my memory could be off on that.

Well it certainly doesn't show one now! I may be completely off on that, sorry! I know the line was terribly long at one point and we returned later- may well have been the line was just shorter and my fuzzy memory turned it into a FP!

At any rate, what I can say, is any character meet and greet we wanted that did have a FP+, we got one.

Please let me know. We always want to see Woody and Buzz but lines are always so long.

I'd say with May being a less busy time, you might be ok without it. We used one for talking Mickey in August, but really didn't need it. We basically could have walked in. (of course, this depends on time of day too) If you don't think you need it for any rides you want, then go for it. With the ride queues being more interactive, maybe it's smarter to use them for characters!!

My wife loves Tink, so we use one for that every trip. Well worth it to us. YMMV

Buzz and Woody don't have a FP+ option at DHS.

My apologies, no one here remembers specifically, but since it's not listed, obviously they don't have one.
