FEA and MMRR Plan

[Raven01]

The goal - ride both FEA and MMRR on Wednesday, July 8.

The current plan: attempt to get a MMRR Fastpass. Monorail to Epcot and rope drop FEA and Anna/Elsa. Eat a pastry in France, then take skyliner to HS. 12 noon reservations for Dine with an Imagineer.

How Should I structure Fastpasses? Should I go for FEA, burn two in Epcot, and then try for MMRR? Should I burn all three in HS in the morning (while we are in Epcot), then try for MMRR?

We will be able to get a DAS, but I prefer to Fastpass if we can. This is a limited trip with just three days at the parks, but FEA and MMRR are both priorities. Grandpa will be in a wheelchair, and I have DD3. I am kinda worried it’s not realistic to do FEA in the morning and get to HS on time for the Dine with an Imagineer. I am not canceling Dine with an Imagineer.

Thoughts?

Depending on the dates of your trip and crowds levels, you will not be able to FP+MMRR from 60-60+3. FP+ for that ride has not been available without long trip.

You may need to figure out RD for MMRR or just do stand by and hope for the best.

Personally, I would RD FEA and Anna/Elsa (they should both open at EP opening), Skyliner over to DHS for Dine with an Imagineer and try to schedule your MMRR FP+ for after lunch. I would be at the EP Skyliner entrance no later than 11:00 am since you will have a guest in a wheelchair and you also need to transfer at CBR. You want to allow for enough time to get through security and walk to HBD.

If you cannot get a FP+ for MMRR, I would FP+ FEA as early as possible, try for MMRR, but if that fails, get to DHS earlier to DAS MMRR. Not ideal as it's a schlep to get to Galaxy's Edge but it would get you on MMRR with little wait after your lunch.

 

[Raven01]

Assuming there are no FP for MMRR, am I better off getting FEA if I can and burning two Epcot FP so I can try for MMRR?

if I can’t get FEA or MMRR, what park for the three throw away FP should I do? Epcot or HS?

You don't need to burn 2 at Epcot. If you only book FEA, as soon as you scan in for it, you can try for MMRR or anything else at DHS.

But if you are at Epcot at rope drop, it will be easy to ride FEA and see A&E before heading to DHS.

This... You are not required to prebook 3 fastpasses.

To date, the lines for MMRR were much longer than FEA.
I would try and get a FP for MMRR and then RD FEA. If that doesn't work, then do the opposite.

This will not be an issue. Unless you are going when the park is absolutely mobbed, RDing Frozen Ever After will not take more than an hour after park open. I would suggest you can reduce your risk by taking an Uber or Minnie Van to Beach Club and walking to the IG entrance (or taking an early bus to DHS and walk/Skyliner to Epcot IG entrance). You'll be slow at RD with a wheelchair but most days by entering from IG you'd still beat the crowd entering from the main entrance to FEA.

If you are going after Ratatouille opens it will likely substantially reduce the rope drop crowd for Frozen.

Before the parks closed people were not having much trouble getting MMRR FPs at 60+2 and even some days 60+1; they've nerfed Fastpass quantities since them presumably with Social Distancing in mind, so whether or not you get a FP for that will depend on when you go and what policies are in place. But MMRR is a reasonably high capacity ride and the line has proven to move reasonably efficiently, so even if you wind up without FPs, you may not have to wait terribly long.

I agree completely about the effect of Ratatouille, but it is not worth going to the trouble of getting to Beach Club to use the IG. It's the same distance to Norway from either the front gate or the IG, and the timing of opening each gate is somewhat unpredictable.

MMRR may not ever be the way it was before closure, but I know lines were much shorter later in the afternoon, much the way it was when MFSR first opened without fast passes. I know we waited about 90 minutes first thing, and saw lines as low as 45 late afternoon. I saw this same thing on the lines app for many afternoons before the big closure. Who knows now though, anything goes-

 

[Raven01]

Well, MMRR and FEA (morning) were unavailable as FP. FEA was available in the afternoon. I might grab that and flip the plan around.

 

[Gehrig1B]

Grab it then try to modify it. Usually works but in this new era, who knows?
