FastPass+ Basic Info, Attraction List, and Suggested Priorities--Part I

[bcrook]

Last trip we were travelling with a toddler and a baby. FP+ for Wishes allowed us to sit down on the grass, have a snack while letting the little ones stretch out and move around a bit. I think it is very valuable for families with small children. There is no way my squirmy toddler would have stayed in a stroller or our arms for the duration of the fireworks.

I was very comfortable in that spot watching Wishes too. If I only get three FP+ in the future, I will have to give that luxury up. I am thinking I will be online at the 60 day mark to grab the seven dwarf mine train ride and grabbing a Peter Pan and Splash. If tiers show up, I could be nudged that way.

But with a toddler the dynamics change. I don't even know what they can ride.

If the littles can ride rides, I don't know if I could handle a rope drop with a toddler and then stick around for close, so those evening ride passes would be important.

My kids are grown...no grand kids yet.

I'm not seeing Wishes as one of my fast pass options on the app ...

Wishes (and MSEP) show up later, as mentioned in the OP. What date are you researching?

February 6th. Sorry I tried to look through the past pages but I must have missed this.

No worries, that's a fairly recent edit to the original post. Yeah, you'll need to keep checking back in the coming days and weeks before Wishes should show up.

Thanks for the info!

We went with small grandchildren this Summer, and it def does change your touring style

We went for RD but by mid-afternoon, with heat and rain everyone was ready to call it a day most days. My plan was to leave after lunch for a swim and nap and then come back later, but it didn't work out that way.

In looking at the new FP+ plans, with littles I would hit RD but schedule a couple of mid-morning to mid-day rides, and then see what happened after that. The thing that bothers me most about this is the unpredictability of the rain, or should I say it's predictable that it will rain hard every afternoon in the Summer - and the unpredictability of the moods of toddlers. It will be really difficult for families with littles to plan around these two big road bumps.

How much before your travel date do they typically show up? I'm traveling in 17 days and was looking for MSEP and still don't see it.

It should be there. Check the date though because it is not offed every night. I know I have it for the 25 of January but I had to delete all my fp+ to get it figured out, but I was extremely preoccupied due to children running around me

Thanks. I just found that out. You had to replace the whole day's itinerary. Of course, wouldn't you know it, the day we wanted, it's doesn't seem to be running (the 24th). Can't do it the 25th, since we have to get over to EPCOT for ADRs at Chefs de France. Don't feel like changing now.

I have a room-only reservation Pop, so I have the option to get the FP+, but I'm thinking about switching to the wyndham bonnet creek. If i cancel my hotel reservation, but I've already picked my FPs and linked my tickets, will my bracelet no longer work. I'm thinking Yes, but I wanted to verify. I just don't want to go through the FP+ selections and then have it be for nothing, but I don't want to wait to pick either in case I keep Pop.

At lunch there are no characters. At dinner you can see the beast in the study.

This will be our fifth trip since 2011, and I have to say that this system is really driving me nuts. DH doesn't want to wear a wrist band and we have been utilizing many FP each day while park hopping. We are going March 22-29.

I have a couple of questions...

1. We are staying at BLT and using military tickets, DH's base doesn't sell the vouchers; we will have to buy them at WDW the day we arrive. Does that mean that I will select our FP+ the night we arrive?

2. Will there be an option to just use the old system?

1. Maybe. (Likely.)

2. Unlikely. (Very unlikely.)

Booked our FP+ today for our March trip. In my opinion the tiering at Epcot is garbage. I understand Test Track and Soarin in the first level, but Maelstrom? After Test Track and Soarin, I really don't see any other rides that I really had to have a FP past for. I just chose filler for the other two FP+ at Epcot. I won't mind if we don't use those last two FP+.

Last time I was there, the FP for Mickey Mouse at Town Square , was not tied to other FP.

Is this no longer the case?

It won't be when the FP machines are all covered starting Tuesday.

Until Tuesday.
