FPs with touring plans

[TikiGoddess07]

Hi all!

We are lucky enough to have 3 GAD vouchers on our upcoming trip. Since we already have tickets with our package, we will be using them for FPs: one day Epcot and two days MK.

I'd like to have a plan of attack for each park -- not exactly a touring plan, but an understanding of the best way to utilize our FPs, as we will be going the last week of June.

So there's two ways to approach this.

1. Pair the GAD FPs with regular fastpasses and a normal touring plan -- going to popular attractions in the morning (riding or getting regular FPs), then using the GAD FPs to score extra rides during the day.

2. Use the GAD FPs throughout the day to reduce back tracking. When arriving at the park in the morning, we would start in one land (maybe Adventureland) and just make our way around the park, using GAD FPs when necessary.

Comments?

Related Question:
Can you use the GAD FPs even when the FP line is not open yet? Say you go to Test Track at 9:30am... will they open the FP line for you, as the first return time for TT is usually around 10am?

Thanks!
Kathy

In my opinion, the GAD Fastpasses are far more valuable later in the day, when the FP return times are far out or even no longer available. They's be excellent for getting a few extra rides quickly at the end of the day.

I supposed you could accelerate your touring plan using the GAD FPs, but then at the end of the day you likely wouldn't be able to get any FPs and have to wait in lines.

We went to the rides that didn't have FP's early when the parks were less crowded, and then used our GAD FP's (and some regular FP's - although we rarely needed them) in the afternoons and evenings as we came to the rides. We went the 3rd week of April (starting the weekend after Easter). The GAD FP's really spoiled us. It was so nice not having to rush to the headliners.

We also used a few of our vouchers for non-rope drop mornings and it was awesome to be able to sleep in but not worry about late return times or running out of FP's.

You'll love it - have fun.
