Background:
So, we booked our ADR's at 180 days, and SURPRISE!, at 60 days the timing didn't work with our FP+ that we were able to get. Everything is for 10 people, so it its really difficult to change and I am expecting troubles getting day of FP+ for such a large group. We booked the first week of Dec as we thought that the crowds would be low then (11 months ago for renting g DVC points). Then we found out that ROTR is opening during our week, and everything is changed. With rented DVC points, we cannot change the time of our visit.
My issue:
We have Crystal Palace at noon. our first 2 FP+'s are Peter Pan and Buzz at 9:15 and 10:15. then we don't have 7DMT until 1:25-2:25. But then we have building a light sabre in DHS at 3:50 in Savi's. I am worried about having enough time for eating lunch at CP before getting on 7DMT. Then, worried about the commute time to DHS and arriving at Savi's in time to build the light sabers. What would you do? I have tried and had touring plans trying for weeks to get CP moved to 11:00 am. At less than 4 weeks now, it is not looking good for moving the reservation. This the the main restaurant that DD (perhaps only trip due to stress over the boys' allergies)) wants to eat in. Also, this is the only FP+ we have for 7DMT. Finally, this is the only time that I was able to get for Savi's.
Is there enough time to do it all? Or will we likely run into an issue? It looks possible to me if everything goes right, but too close for comfort and no wiggle room for if something goes wrong. Has anyone ever arrived an hour early for an ADR and managed to get seated right away instead of reservation time? Or would we just waste an hour of morning park time waiting on the benches at CP? Should we cancel 7DMT?
WWYD? Thanks for any advice.
