FP+ 60 days out in 2 hr 20 min...

[guppy1013]

I can start reserving at midnight right? Just want an Anna&Elsa and SDMT. Thinking everything else will still be there when we get closer. Might get a TSMM for giggles. Any other suggestions? Went in January and had no issues changing last minute but July will be busier.

Yes, definitely get those 2 right at midnight! You should be fine to wait until morning for everything else. Although since I was up I just did it all at midnight. It took longer than I expected, just because of working all the FPs around our ADRs. And I wanted to copy and I could not figure out how to copy from one guest to the next. I finally did but they don't make it very clear at all.

Same ones I will be going after in a couple of months. Already convinced I may need to go to day 10 to get good A&E and SDMT times for 7 of us. Luckily we are there 10 days and can go to the 10th day. I cant decide on Soarin or test track, or TSMM or RRC....tough calls. Feel like I just did this with ADR's GOOD LUCK!!! (Hope your enjoying the nice weather that was long overdue here-just noticed we are both NE Ohioians)

If you plan on visiting DHS and staying for Fantasmic, I highly recommend that you get a Fastpass+. I just got back from Disney and I learned the hard way that standby guests get to either stand or sit in the bleachers all the way in the back (behind the main bowl) which provides a terrible view. Also, standby guests are admitted to the theatre just ten minutes before showtime. The main bowl is filled up entirely by guests who have Fastpass+ or dinner packages.

You must have arrived after the standby area to the right of Dining was filled. Only then are the remaining standby guests made to wait in the pathway before they can be seated right before the show begins.

If you don't have a Fp+ for Fantasmic, plan on entering the stadium 45-60 minutes before the show begins, or, you will be left waiting in the entry pathway.

So with FP+ do you make your selections every 60th day or is it like dining where you can book them for your whole trip?

Whole trip.

Thanks. . At least I only have to be on the computer at midnight once and not for a week straight.

Got A&E and SDMT for 2 different days (2nd day and closer to end). Booked for other days even though we will probably rearrange them closer to time.

Awesome feeling

No, I arrived one hour before Fantasmic and was in the very front of the standby line. There were hundreds of people behind me experiencing the same frustration and listening to an announcement played over and over again stating that the theatre would be standing-room only and all standby guests would be admitted ten minutes before showtime. (It ended up being 8 minutes). Never again.

Wow, sorry to hear that. You are the first to report this info. I wonder if they overbooked Fp+ by accident? So unfair to Standby guests!!
