FP+ over the weekend

[arrdee11462]

Just returned from 3 very full days, we did everything we wanted except at Epcot... The FP+ worked fine by arriving at RD and we used our FP early, at MK there were great choices after we used our first three, but at HS everything was gone by early in the day.
We waited for our second and third go on TT and RNR but then went over to Epcot and walked the world showcase.

Animal kingdom worked great also we rode Dinosaur 2x Everest 3X (1 FP+) Kilimanjaro 1x FP+ watched Nemo, bugs life in standby (won't again was a 40 min wait), teens rode prime whirl, and ended with Kali. Left by 4pm and went over to MK.

Oh and got onto 7 dwarves 3x, twice the am of 24 hours party (no fast passes yet) and once on Sunday night in standby with FP open. Stand by on Sunday was about 75 minutes but seemed like less.

All the parks were pretty full but manageable. Had a great time!

Would you mind giving more details on your DHS day? which day did you go there? what time did you use your last FP+? and did you immediately try for a 4th? I assume you mean no TSM or RR, but no TOT either? Star tours?

Thanks so much for posting. Going in summer I was definitely curious how it went this weekend.

My questions exactly! Plus I'm wondering what all was hard to get at Epcot?

Sure, it was Sat. SWW was in full swing, rode TOT 9am (no wait), RNR 9:45am (25 min), TOT again (15 min), we had fast pass for Star tours 11am, great movie 12:30 (10 min), watched the storm troopers, muppets (no wait), RNR fast pass 3pm, TOT fast pass 4pm. We then went back to hotel for dinner. Went back in the evening for SWW fireworks and rode TOT again and did ST again.

Considering the holiday weekend and SWW it was a huge amount done, everything except toy story.

We decided not to FP epcot since the only two worth the FP+ are test track and soaring for us and we would only get one.

When we did go over we went straight to the world showcase and skipped future world (something we would never have done before)

There were no FP available and the lines were over 60 min TT and 80 soaring. It did save us lots of $$ since we didn't go through mousegears for AC multiple times (I'm tempted to shop every time!)
