Question for you mesa...If you already have FP+ at the tiered parks, will you be able to make changes to the FP+ such as time or experience(assuming availability)? Or will options be blocked? TIA, Tina

I've not run into this myself, so I can't help you here I'm afraid. Sorry!

Hopefully someone who has done this can chime in.

Just tested this. It looks like changing the time is ok, not sure about experience .

I am seeing lots of recommendations to use FP+ on the MSEP but we aren't getting that option, and never have seen it even since the very first day we could book. We will be there the night of Dec 4, which is a Wednesday. Other parades aren't available either. Are they only giving FP+ options on certain nights? This is a not a Mickey Party night.

This is fun read and gives another perspective at easywdw.

Article about Tiers at Disney Hollywood Studios.

Why wasn't Mickey talking? We are going in 2 weeks and really want Mickey to talk to my nephew on his birthday!

Quick post from WDW ... been here all week and IMO the BEST FP+ was for the MSEP (used tonight). Honestly. My 4-year-old son would not have been able to wait for an hour or more... it was fabulous walking up at 7:30 (for 7:40 entrace to the area) and getting that front row spot in front of the castle. Priceless.

Other reviews... we wasted FP+ at AK since my DS doesn't go on rides and I used the single rider line for EE. FP+ for princesses... if you have little ones who love them, do it! A total waste for Mickey at MK (he didn't talk when we went). And of course a MUST for TSMM.

Oh, and for us, the Disney Junior FP+ sucked. No reserved section. But at least we got in.

Sometimes it's just not possible--he's a very complicated mouse. Odds are pretty strong he will talk, but it's not a lock.

I've been playing around with the Touring Plans website and creating various touring plans when we are there over Thanksgiving. Interestingly, at no time does it say we should use our FastPass+ on the major attractions at 3 of the 4 parks. It recommends getting there early and knocking off the headliners right away. On Thanksgiving day (planned MK in morning) it says we should only use one FP+, and that would be on Haunted Mansion. Otherwise it's get there early and use FP-.

We have been going for 9 years now and we never heard Mickey or really any non-human characters talk. They pretty much do everything like a mime. I cannot imagine how you would have every person that puts on the Mickey costume to sound like Mickey or Minnie.

Here is a video of Talking Mickey in Town Square Theater in MK:

The cast member told me that Mickey lost his voice (so code for the system wasn't working, I think). C'est la vie. It wasn't the end of the world. Though I now wish I had used the FP+ to meet Cinderella. DS LOVED meeting Rapunzel two days later.

See! 2nd best FP+ of that day.

Mickey at TST talks. (or is supposed to.)

It's a new feature that just started a few weeks ago. He is talking in Town Square Theater.

It isn't available anymore according to the person I called yesterday. It is not on our list for January and I was told FP+ is not being offered anymore. Has anyone else been told that. We really wanted the MSEP.

Being here this week Rapunzel and Ariel meet and greet have been the longest waits and great fp+ options. Splash has been a walk on.

I am doing these with FP+ today. So excited to pass those lines. Our kids don't really do headliners so there really wasn't anything else with much of a line besides Buzz. And Tink, but sadly no FP+ available for her.

MSEP FP+ does not become available until very near the actual date of the show in question.
(Figure the Jan. MSEP FP+ options won't become available until on or about Jan. 1, 2014.)

The option showed up for our Thanksgiving day trip a couple of weeks ago, but I was unable to take advantage of it because we won't be in the MK at night. No other days have shown up.
