Fastpass question

[maekeith]

Hello everyone! My husband and I have taken our Granddaughter to Disneyworld 2 times. Stayed onsite the first time and then in 2012 we decided to stay at Bonnet Creek. Both experiences were excellent.

We have now made flight arrangements to return in May 2015 with both Grandchildren. I had planned on staying at Bonnet Creek mainly because of the extra living space but with the intro of the FastPass+ I am wondering if we will be at a disadvantage for rides and shows. I read that you can even get better space for watching the parade.

I would really like to hear about some experiences people have had staying off and on the property. If everyone on Disney property has a Magic Band then there must be long FastPass lines too.

Please help, I am really having trouble deciding on a course of action. lol

Thanks
Mae

Nope. FPs are rationed so that this doesn't happen. Waits of more than 15-20 minutes in any FP queue are rare.

Other than FPs for the Anna and Elsa M&G and the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, most every attraction is still available at 30 days out (what offsite guests must wait for).
