Fast Pass and ADR

[twinkles777]

If we have a fast pass from 10:50 for Tower Of Terror, would we make it to a lunch reservation at 11:30? I haven’t been to WDW since the 90s (ugh...isn’t that awful!!!), so I’m learning so much here.

Thanks in advance!

Hard to say, in a perfect world with all elevators working and not a lot of people in the FP line maybe. Also depends on where your ADR is. I wouldn't risk it.

Tap in right at 10:45 and it should be fine.

Is it in DHS?

I also think you'd be fine tapping in right at 10:45 (incase you didn't know you can tap in 5 mins early and up to 15 mins late). ToT can have a bit of a wait after the FP merge point (there's a short pre show too), but unless it's extremely backed up before the merge you should make an 11:30 ADR. The entire experience shouldn't take you more than half an hour.

I agree. You should be fine, but TOT can be a bit of a hit & miss sometimes.

To the OP, the FP gets you into the Pre-Show with little wait, but if the line after the pre-show is long then it may take a bit longer. It shouldn't take 30 minutes, but if one side goes down, that can slow things down considerably. In all likelihood, it will be 100% fine.

Yes things happen, but the CM at the dining location willI understand if they are running late due to a ride issue.

I agree. Get there at 10:45 and you will be done by 11:05 unless the ride has problems. If running as it should you will have time to get to whichever restaurant you have an 11:30 ADR. The park is not that large.

Sorry, it’s at 50s Prime Time!
Thanks!!

I didn’t know you could tap in early! Thanks!

It might be worth calling the restaurant on the day and let them know you might be a few minutes late, just in case.

You can’t actually call the restaurants. There is only a central dining reservation number and they have no contact with the restaurant staff. If something were to go wrong with the ride, just let them know at the restaurant.

I also think you should be fine. Although we don't make a habit of it, the times we have been a few minutes late to our ADRs the CMs didn't seem to mind very much.

Unless the ride is having issues, you should be fine. As mentioned, tap in at10:45.
Usually the FP line for ToT isn't too long. If the line is long, you still should be off the ride by 11:15.
