FP return time web-site

[koryandlesli]

Is there a web-site, not an app for a phone, but a web-site where I can check FP return times? I can do this at home for a few weeks to help with my planning. Don't have a cell phone that uses apps so I don't need that.

Hi,

Touring plans.com has live queue times but no FP return times as far as I'm aware. Maybe someone else can help so bumping.

TouringPlans.com most certainly does include live reported FP return times in its data (which are available both through its app and through its website). But note that (1) access to this data isn't free, and (2) checking the times for days other than the one you're actually in the park may not be a useful planning tool, since they can vary enormously from day-to-day.

I've looked for a website before and couldn't find 1, so I'd love to hear about it myself if anyone else has. When I first started my WDW research I had a book from the library that had them at the back. I believe it was the Unofficial Guide to WDW.

1. Yes touringplans.com does have that data but you have to have a subscription.

2. I second these this, times vary from day to day, week to week and whether or not a movable holiday like Easter (which also effects things like ash wednesday which effects marti gras) is happening.

This would be similar to people asking "What are the crowds like now because I have a trip next week?" and this week is Xmas and next week is the first week in January.

I would go to easywdw.com and use them to pick your days and use standard tips for FP's like TSM FP's are usually gone by 11:00 . Also there are creditable (I think, I'm staying out of those threads) posts saying that you will not be allowed to use a FP past its return window.

We should display historical FP distributions times on TouringPlans as well. I'm able to see Buzz's from last week, for example. Probably a subscriber-only option.

Len...wouldn't there still be too much variation to make an accurate guesstimate though?

Because of the changes coming in March, I would love an app with the ability to trade FP's with other users.

I found one after it was mentioned on the wdwtoday podcast that something like this existed, but the next day it disappeared from the App. Store. (?)

Where are you seeing that I am totally missing it (and am a subscriber)?

I think i remember this app mentioned here. One issue was not only could you give or trade FP's you could also sell them. The person who posted the info about the app kind of down played that aspect of the app, but it was still there.

Also at the time there was really no need to trade FP's because they were good for the whole day.

Yes, I saw that sell option when I first found it in the App Store! Of course now with the changes, the app in general would be great. Not the part about creating a black market for FP's, but the trading ability.

Too bad it vanished into thin air. It would have been a nice band-aid until the NextGen system rolls out. Instead of a Dole Whip Meet for us DISers, we could do a FastPass Meet.
