I am going to WDW in September. I want to see both Soarin and FEA without too much of a wait. I will check in to the Yacht Club Friday morning. I've got hoppers, so I'll probably head over to HS for a while. I was thinking of a couple of plans:
1. Get a fp for FEA Friday night, and Soarin Saturday am, then move on to another park Saturday. I am leery of this plan because I read that FEA breaks down a lot, and I feel it's more likely in the evening.
2. I have 8 am ADRs Saturday for Akershus. I had figured to grab a Soarin fp for a little later, so I would do breakfast, jump on FEA, then hit Soarin. However, it's apparent that Disney hasn't gotten this figured out yet, so there's a chance I could get held back and get behind the RD group. Plus, I'm really not an early riser. Getting to an 8 am ADR, even one I can walk to is a struggle for me. Twenty three years of having to be at work on Saturdays at 8 am and when I get there on time I still fist pump and say "YES!!".
We had 8 am ADRs for BOG last trip and 7DMT was down. I was hoping to get on after breakfast , though I had an fp for it, but I would have dropped it and picked up something else. It was down until around 10:30. So, you have to account for that possibility.
3. Do the breakfast, try to get on FEA, and have a fp for Soarin (Saturday). That would leave me open to all day at HS for Friday and all day Saturday at Epcot. I have a couple of ADRs I would have to cancel, but no big deal there. We are going just as a couple this time (DH and I) no kids or grandkids.
Thanks, just trying to figure this out and get a game plan going. I pick fps in less than a week.
