FP for MSEP?

[wtrowbridge]

We are making a quick, one-day trip to MK next Sunday. This was planned totally last minute. I got a FP for Peter Pan, Splash Mtn. and the MSEP. We did the MSEP about a year and a half ago when we were there and they were testing Magic Bands. At that time, the area for FP+ was at the roundabout in front of the castle. It was perfect because we didn't have to check in there until about 8:30, and we could stay in that spot for Wishes, which offered a great view! So, my questions are this:

- Is the FP+ area for MSEP still in the same spot?
- Do they still let you stay there for Wishes?
- Do you still not need to get there until at least 8:30?
- Since we are only in the park for one day and want to maximize riding as much as possible, we thought this would be a smart FP to keep so that we don't have to try to get a seat on the curb somewhere at 7:30. We realize this is going to be a busy, crowded day in July. I know this means we will not be able to get other FP for the day, since you have to use all three before you can get more, but do you think it is still wise to keep it? We have two boys, ages 4 and 8 so I wasn't sure how long we could keep them entertained if we decided not to use this FP and instead had to keep them sitting on a curb for an hour or more.

1. No. Current location is next to the MK flagpole in Town Square at the head of Main St.
See the locations in THIS post.
2. New location is very poor for Wishes.
3. Up to you.
4. But, it also stops you from getting another FP that whole day.

Thanks, that is good to know that the location has changed. This new location actually helps in the sense that we had planned to try to go to Town Square Theater to see Mickey and Tinkerbell right after and we would be close. But, I am concerned now that we won't be able to see Wishes very well. Would it be better to drop this FP and just try to get a spot early that is closer to the castle so we can watch Wishes?

If your primary goal is to see Wishes and Celebrate the Magic, there's no need to keep the FP for MSEP.
