disney trip 8/5/16-8/13/16

I don't know about that first week of August, but we've done middle August (16th) and the crowds are so manageable, we love it
Again, not sure about when you're going and if the week makes a difference.

I wanted to really do end of August but we had friends who wanted to cone with and only time they could go is first week so hopefully it wont be too bad ill just get there at rope drop maybe do a fp for right before we do our break and the rest for return unless some9ne has a better fp plan LoL

Adding an extra day is a great idea because there is always something you miss or want to do again and having that extra day alleviates some of the anxiety involved with trying to get everything done in one day. I think the biggest piece of advice you will get when it comes to crowds is to arrive at rope drop. You can got so much done if you get there early and are among the first few to enter the park. WALK, don't run to Toy Story Mania (DHS)... at rope drop.. its a must do x2... so do it at rope drop and Fast Pass it!

The parks won't be "holiday" crowded, but most schools will still be out, so it will definitely be busy. For the AK/HS days, if you are splitting the parks up in a day, and hitting AK RD, then I would FP at HS. For MK, I would do RD, FP later in the morning and get extra FP for evening, after you have used your 3. I am having a really difficult time planning our Epcot plan, as I'm not sure what is going to be FP, as far as the Frozen M&G/FEA, and whether or not TT and Soarin are going to remain in Tier 1. Our June plan, for now, is to RD, stand-by either Soarin or TT, FP FEA for around 10am, if possible, and leave TT or Soarin and go do stand-by for the M&G, ride FEA afterwards. I have not decided what to do about the other TT or Soarin that we can't FP or hit at RD. My brother and his family are only going to be with us at Epcot for 1 day and it is really difficult to fit it all in, again, assuming all stay Tier 1. We might have to RD both TT and Soarin because FEA is a MUST!

I have a question when you use all of your fast passes I know you can book more but are they booked one at a time?

Sounds like a good plan we mix our FP's up-sometimes all in the morning and sometimes at night, so we are not rushing around after dinner!
Good luck!!

Awww that really sucks

At least you can now add extra FP's using the app. Don't have to use the kiosk any longer. That really sucked!
