Do I get six fast passes +??

[ljcastro18]

So I am going to WDW for Easter week, it is my first time going in this time of the year and from what I been reading the parks will be packed so I am a bit worried that even with 3 fast pass reservations I am not going to be able to get on any rides without having to go through crazy lines which is not am option for me since my two year old is not very good at waiting in long lines, do you think it is possible to buy another set of tickets so I will be able to reserve six attractions in advance???

Hm, I'm not sure, but I think that might be a lot of money to spend for just 3 extra fastpasses. If you look through the boards, they've got plenty of tips and new park strategies to help you out in cheaper ways!

I think it might work. I agree it is a lot of money but if you have it and you don't feel like it too much for you, then I wouldn't worry about others thinking you are crazy.

If you are staying on-site, one set of tickets would be linked to your magic band. I wouldn't think you could have 2 sets on the same band and use them both the same day but someone else might have a better idea about that. You might get it to work if you bought the second set from a third party and then made a separate My Disney Experience account with just those tickets. What I'm not 100% on is if you would need to enter the park once with the band and then exit to reenter using the ticket...showing both tickets as entering the park. Maybe someone else could be more help with that.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do. I would be worried travelling during Spring Break also!

Maybe your child needs to learn at an early age that you can't have everything you want right now?

Try teaching that to any two year old...

If this is true, then how will having 6 make anything better? Not to mention, it sounds like a huge pain to co-ordinate.

If you're prepared to drop stupid amounts of money on this trip, then why not pony up for one of Disney's VIP tours?

Otherwise, you can do what most of the rest of the world does - rope drop, baby swap, 3 FP+, afternoon naps, stay late, take in the street entertainment, and have realistic expectations.

Either that, or cancel and rebook for a lower crowd time.

Surely it would be better to try, rather than teach them that you can buy your way out of any problem?

No you can't. You can drop hundreds of dollars on a 2nd set of tickets and book day of rides at the kiosk with them if you want that torture but I suggest either learn how to tour or buy a VIP tour for each day.

I am traveling during Spring Break too (week before Easter). I am full of wishful thinking that we'll be okay! If you can get your little one up early, definitely hit rope drop. They extended the MK extra magic hours on a few days during that week to 7am!! It's so early, but you can get a LOT of things done in the first few hours, despite Spring Break crowds. I imagine you won't be doing the Mountain rides with a 2 year old, so think about it- you really just want to get through Fantasyland and maybe some other things here and there. I think if you plan to wait for the resort bus at 6am (assuming you are on-site), just get there, watch the welcome show, and hit the ground running (not literally of course) at 7. Go straight back to Fantasyland and do things like Peter Pan, Little Mermaid, Pooh, etc. Use a FastPass on Belle, because it kind of stinks using the 30 minutes you need for that attraction during the prime early morning hours. Then you can be leaving Fantasyland around 9am as the crowds really roll in. That's just my 2 cents, but I think that will work, even during the busiest week of the year. That's my plan, anyway!

I also think it's a silly, expensive, hassle, too, but she won't need to book day of anymore. Prebooking FP+ has been extended to off-site visitors, so she can book 30 days out.

I agree though, a VIP tour would be a better use of those hundreds of dollars she wants to throw away.

Doesn't the ticket need to have been used to enter the park, like under the previous scheme? Or is the OP talking about buying a ticket for her daughter, who doesn't actually need one, and having her use it for separate FP+

I believe this poster recently became a member of Club 33 so money isn't, apparently, an object.

As the above poster said, you could buy a ticket for your two year old (who doesn't need one because she is under 3 and entry is free), and then SHE will have 3 FP+ per day as well, which you could use. She can tag along with you since she won't need a FP+ of her own as the CM's will figure she's under 3 and therefore didn't have/need a ticket of her own at the FP+ entrance to rides.

If you are a member of Club 33, then you get 5 VIP tours per year. You should just use one of them - unless that is only valid at DL.

In that scenario, it takes very little effort to walk out and come back in using the other ticket. Still not worth it financially though.

As far as I know, that is correct. I know with the old system, you would have needed to enter the park using that ticket in order to use the FP's. (If that weren't the case, you could buy a minimum ticket, never use it, but keep drawing on it for FP's). I think with this scheme, you'd have to enter the park, exit, then enter with the other ticket/band. And totally agree it seems like an expensive way to get a few extra rides.

 

[MOpGrad2013]

Don't forget having to go through bag check more than once. 2 year olds have STUFF.

Can't fastpass bagcheck.

this is the same child you've already made suffer HM and wonder if you're a bad parent for wanting them to do it again? How many of your FP+ are for HM, or are you going to do a proper job and make them stand in line for a ride they hate?

 

[3boysNagirl]

Wow!! Just wow! Not criticizing tho wondering if finances are that abundant could you take a family member or close friends child who may never get to go? Young teens love to help entertain small children so they could help distract your child in waiting lines also making those extra tickets you're willing to purchase beneficial! I'm not sure when they will put the new guidelines in effect tho Disney blog reported being able to add FP & Hoppers soon

If you did a proper job of reading that thread you would have seen the OP said she would not take her dd on it.

I feel like at trip to WDW with a 2 year old that has trouble in lines is a mistake.
How about a trip to the beach or a Disney cruise instead? Wait until your child is old enough to understand waiting for attractions before you go to WDW.

(We deliberately chose to wait until our kids were 4 and 6 before we went. No diaper bags, able to walk on their own without a stroller, no need for naps, etc. It was magical.)


But I agree with others that if you have the funds for it, a VIP tour of the parks would be your better bet for a trip to WDW.
