Fast Pass and Planning Ahead

[disneymom23]

Now that I have my hotel reservations and PS's. We're going to do Storybook's breakfast, lunch at Carnation Cafe and lunch at Cafe Orleans. All other meals will be quick meals- definitely a corn dog, and bengal bbq, not sure what else. Any must-haves?

I do have a FP question. The kids and I will do MM on Saturday and then start collecting FP's at 8. DH is flying in that morning and won't get to the park until around 10:30. I can probably collect 3 FP's in that timeframe. Is there any way I can get him FP's during that time? Can I activate his pass and then bring it to him when he gets there? Or will City Hall do anything to help us out? Or will the CM's let 5 of us in with only 4 FP's? If there's nothing we can do, so be it. I'll let him and the kids use them.

I'm getting so excited, I can hardly concentrate on anything else. My kids don't know about the trip. I'm not going to tell them, just drive to the airport that day. It's so hard not to talk about it with them.

You are out of luck on FPs. Even if you could activate his admission ticket - which would be hard without going back through the line yourself or getting lucky that a CM might do it for you - then it could be a problem getting him into the park at 10:30 because his pass was already scanned but he would not have a hand stamp indicating he left the park and is now re-entering.

You could get lucky with all this, or you could end up with him not being admitted to the park at all without the hand stamp.

Not worth the risk IMO.

Have a great visit.

Hydro is right, but I wouldn't hesitate to ask the CM's at the individual rides if they would allow your entire family to ride together, even though you are lacking 1 FP. No guarantees that they will let you, but I've run into a few very nice CM's that have allowed this. Another thing you could do if the CM's won't allow you to ride together with only 4 FP's is to ask for a child swap pass and you could stay off with the youngest, and then after your Dh and other two are done, you could then ride with your youngest since a child swap allows for 2 people to ride. Make sense?

Hope one of these strategies works for you!

I didn't know they allowed this. Thanks for the tip!
