FOP overlaps TK Dining Reservation-Grace periods?

[Lydia S]

I have a FOP Fastpass at 10:20, with a TK Reservation for 10:35.

How early can you get in for a Fast Pass, and how late will CMs allow you to arrive for a dining reservation before you are considered a "No-Show"?

That's too close. I wouldn't risk it.

You can get in only 5 minutes early for FP. There's no formal policy on how late you can be for an ADR, but after about 15 minutes you're probably taking chances.

Thanks for the quick reply. I got super lucky with the FOP Fastpass this morning after checking MDE almost hourly for the past week. If anything, I think we'll drop the TH reservation.

I'd keep looking for a different TH reservation. I bet you come up with something that will work.

I don't know if this is true and of course changing one of them would be best BUT at The Plaza a couple weeks ago, my husband and son ran out without dessert to make their fastpass. When the waiter found out, he said if they had shown their time stamped dining receipt at the ride, they would have been allowed on.

I probably would't try that with this particular ride.

I also read that 15 minutes is the restaurant grace period, and in this case, what time do they stop serving breakfast? 11?

We rode FoP twice last week, even going put of our way on our last day just to go to AK for that one ride just because that's all we could get. You should expect an at least 10-15 minute wait to get in, and then there's all the preshow stuff (you get assigned an Avatar) and finally the actual ride. So you really have to budget 30-40 minutes to be safe. It's definitely worth blowing off or rescheduling TH.

The safest course of action is to try to move your TH reservation. That being said, if you can't move it, getting through FoP with a FP takes about 30 minutes, so if you go 10 minutes early and ask to get on early because of your reservation, that might work. Worst case, you go five minutes early at 1015 and you should be out by 1045. The walk to TH from FoP is about 5 minutes so you might just squeeze in.

The risk is missing your ADR and having to pay anyway- there's a credit card hold attached to your reservation. Lots could happen to delay the FoP experience to more than 30 minutes and I wouldn't count on getting in earlier for your FP, given that right now this ride is the hottest ticket in all 4 parks.
