Fast Pass Recommendations

[deedeew80]

Hi everyone! It's been a few years since I have been to WDW. I know there are a few new attractions and some that have since been taken away. Is there a list out there of Fast Pass Recommendations for each park? We are going the week after Thanksgiving 11/24-11/30 I'm hoping crowds will be on the low side, especially after the weekend. Last time we went we missed so many things due to long lines and not having a fast pass. This will only be my second time using the new fast pass system so I'm still learning. I know some parks have tiers and such. So confusing. Thanks for any info or pointing me in the direction for the info!

What rides do you like?

MK has no Tiers, so book what you want. 7DMT is the hardest to get at MK, so definitely try for that first.

In AK, you should choose FOP for your tier 1. Navi River is the other tier 1, but doesn’t have the same popularity. FOP is probably the hardest FP out of all the parks.

DHS has all three of the Toy Story rides as Tier1, with Slinky Dog being the most popular. Everything else is now tier 2.

Post #8 of the FP FAQ.

I would recommend that you spend some time on easywdw.com and especially study Josh's "Cheat Sheets" for each park there. He gives great info there on touring strategy, FP+ priority, tiers, etc. And they're in handy PDF format so you can print them or copy them to your phone if you need to.

On tier 1 you are only allowed one of your three advanced fastpasses to be in that category.

For FOP fastpass at AK the most success is doing days out from your 60 day mark. For example, if you have a 5 day trip, look at the 65 day mark to try and get FOP.

Try to do your three advance fastpasses early and in a row. Then, you can try for a fourth, fifth, etc. on the run.

If onsite or DS resorts early entry is your friend especially when there is more than 1 tier ride at a park.

Don't backtrack; it's a waste of time.

Check out WDW Prep School for fast pass priorities and consider a subscription to TouringPlans to plan out your trip.

This is very good advice. I recommend his site to everyone who asks for my Disney thoughts. Especially new guests or those who haven’t been in quite some time.

I went to he site and searched but nothing came up for Josh's Cheat Sheets.

ETA: found it under just Cheat Sheets.

deedeew80: Since you haven't been in a few years, prepare yourself. Even if the crowds are "low," they won't be anywhere near as low as they were even three or four years ago. High is the new low!

Thank you everyone for the suggestions, I will be checking them out now. I know there isn't really any "low crowd" times anymore. We went in 2015, the end of April beginning of May and it was supposed to be a "lower crowd" time. It definitely wasn't, but it wasn't bad at all either. I really just want nice weather, not scorching hot! Lol! We are going the week after Thanksgiving, so hopefully it will be nice! Thanks again!
