Doubting & Stressing

[Tahariel]

Hey everyone,

Yesterday was finally the day I could book our FastPasses. I had a strategy, I had thought it through and I thought I was ready. Was my first time using this system, last time I went we still sprinted to the good old printing machines for paper tickets.
Then the time came and I was in my break room at work frantically trying to get all the FastPasses, barely looked at my plans for times and just rushed to get them all.
Now I'm looking at my plan and just have no idea if it even makes sense but also with no idea how to improve it.
Does anyone else feels as disheartened about this process? It'd also my DBF first time and I just want everything to work out...

If anyone does fancy having a look at my plan (I've taken rest days out), see below. Oh an we'll be there in mid-September.

Day 1 - MK for MNSSHP - Journey of the Little Mermaid, Peter Pan & Haunted Mansion (all directly after each other, between 3-6pm)
Day 2 - HS - ToT 10.30, TSMM 12, ADR 1.30, Star Tours 3.20
Day 3 - MK - SDMT 10.45, Buzz 12.50, Space Mountain 1.50, ADR 4.50
Day 4 - EPCOT - Mission Space 9.30, FEA 12.25, ADR 8.00
Day 5 - AK - Everest 10.30, river Rapids 11.40, ADR 1.10
Day 6 - EPCOT - spaceship 12.20, Soarin 2.10, ECS 3.30, ADR 7.00
Day 7 - MK - meet Cinderella 10.10, meet Rapunzel 11.30, Meet Ariel 12.30, ADR 5.00

Thank you for anyone who's taken the time to look this through.
I've just got so much going on besides the holiday at the moment, I think my nerves are just stretched to max.

Your plans are perfect.

You allowed time to do non-FP stuff at rope drop.
You left enough time between your FPs and your ADRs for an afternoon break.
You're seeing a wide variety of stuff, and apparently meeting the princesses is a priority for your family.
You got onto the new Soarin and FEA.

A question-- on your AK day, do you want to do the Jungle Book show/ADR thing? I know it hasn't gotten good reviews here on the Dis, but we're doing it anyway.

Great work!!

I don't know if you really want to use a FP on Haunted Mansion, we've always been able to find a time when you can practically walk on during our August trips. I don't see Splash Mountain on your list and that usually has very long wait time all day. Also people have been saying that the waits for Toy Story Mania are way shorter with the new 3rd track but the lines for Rock N Roller Coaster are still long, so if you want to ride that not using single rider you might want to flip that FP. I've also seen people saying that they've been able to get a 4th FP the same day for TSMM

Aw thank you! I think a stone the size of Florida just dropped of my heart
We figured all the rides first at MK,then for the second time all he meet and greets with any rides we want to do again I love meeting the characters! And lucky he's happy to follow along

I'm not sure about that one yet. The reviews have been so bad, but then I'm thinking 'Heck, this trip could be my only chance'. We'll probably end up going tbf. When is your trip?

It was so we could get on and off before we start queuing for the characters at MNSSHP. Originally I didn't have any for that day but a friend suggested getting some.

Yeah splash mountain was the one fall down from my attempt. Couldn't get one fitting around our other FPs. They always collided :/
Really? I heard they were still as bad. Must've maybe finally started working out properly. Cause as much as I want to do it, I don't want to spend forever queuing for it :/
We wanted do RnRC straight at rope drop. Do you reckon that's not going to work?

So I went back and got one for Splash Mountain! Quite close to our ADR but well...
Dropped Buzz that day and changed Little Mermaid for Buzz on our first day. We'll do it at Rope Drop instead

I think rope drop for RnR should work, we're just not rope drop people but we might attempt it at MK this year. I have read numerous people saying that TSMM queue is way better now with that 3rd track open.

work?

We leave a week,from today!

And I want to see the show. I never give too much credibility to reviews, especially on the Dis. They tend to set the bar a lot higher than I do. Lots of things that get totally panned here... Like the Coral Reef for example... Have become family favorites for us.

Let me know how it was! enjoy your trip!!!
