I'm not convinced of the value of the FP on this one. Tried it. Had to come earlier, got stuffed into this overcrowded section and sweated nearly to death and waited an eternity. Early stand by people basically filled in right next to us. Also the other times, we just sit on the nice picnic benches and camp out with a lovely breeze, get some refreshments, and then we watch the CM and when he unhooks the Stand By rope, we all charge. We still got wonderful seats and didn't have to stand and wait so long, with an FP. I'm not sure I would book it UNLESS your schedule is SO tight and the park is so busy that you must be guaranteed to hit THAT particular time or you would miss it, OR its a major peak holiday season and you might not get a seat. Otherwise, I'm not sure it's really warranted. The only exception to that being that we didn't have anything else to book (were with babies n non riders) so we booked Frozen Singalong as an FP because it was there. (And that's when we nearly all passed out prior to entering). It was shady but a million people were stuffed in there with almost no moving air... Not sure why it was like that that day, but sitting under the breezy umbrella waiting for the CM to open the SB line was much preferred to me....just my thoughts fyi. Again there are some cases where it is warranted, but its certainly not necessary if it's not a peak time (If there is another ride you like better)...
