Here now. Any questions I can answer?

Can you comment how FPP availability has been after the first 3? Any park! Thanks!

From what I've seen, it's basically just like it was before FP+. In other words, the popular rides still run out of them pretty soon. Today, for example, we were at HS and finished our 3 FP+ so I went to a kiosk to see what was available. That was about 3:00 and TSM, ToT and RnR were already gone. Not much different than paper FP. He did tell me to always go to a kiosk and check regardless, because sometimes the popular ones randomly pop up. I hope that helps answer your question.

Thanks love hearing it live.

I have no questions, but I just want to say that you're awesome for answering questions while on vacation! I'll be lucky if I can keep up with my kids and not go completely crazy! Hope the rest of your trip is awesome, and I'm planning to check out Sassagoulas and have some gluten free beingets (which I couldn't actually find in New Orleans when we were there!) Enjoy!

Have you seen the LE Big Hero 6 and 2015 Magicbands still around? I'm hoping to grab them when we're there in March!! Thanks so much for being awesome and answering these questions!!

My daughter had a whole face full of beingets! White powdered sugar everywhere! And thank you. I just hop online after we get back from the parks or before we leave. It hasn't been time consuming at all, and hopefully helps a few fellow Disney lovers. Hope your trip is magical!

Haven't seen any. And my 10 year old loves Baymax and has been looking, also. The only place we have found with much BH6 stuff is in Hollywood Studios. And it's not a lot. Have also found some stuff in Tomorrowland at MK. Also something you might be interested in - the photographer near the BH6 meet and greet (just outside the arches on the "hat" side) can do Baymax Magic shots. He's the only one who can do them! But you have to ask him. Good luck. Maybe someone else has seen the magic bands and can chime in.

Yes we did that a few days ago. We used our 3 at AK, hopped over to MK and got a 4th. The way you'll do this is visit a FP kiosk at the 2nd park (DHS in your case). Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for the answer. I knew you could do it in the second park, but my friend was hoping to book it in the first park, take a nap break, and get to the second park in time for the already booked FP. I will have her try concierge instead.
I appreciate the feedback!

How are the crowds? I'm really curious if there will be a big difference for Presidents Day weekend. Will you be staying until Monday?

Ok I figured they'd be gone by now and Oh my god. That sounds amazing. I LOVE Magic Shots! Thanks for the info!!

My husband was also looking for the Big Hero 6 magic bands, we found them in one of the first gift shops on the right when you enter the main street to Hollywood Studios - I want to say it was a photo/camera shop but I can't remember. They were there as of last week though.

ETA : I tried to quote the Big Hero 6 magic band question but can't get it to work lol.

Oh I gotcha. As of now, I don't think that will work. The kiosks only see attractions in the park the kiosk is in. (If that make sense). But I was told, while here, that soon you'll be able to use My Disney Experience to book your extra FP+. So when that happens that may me do-able!

I wish we were staying. Sadly, our trip ends tomorrow! But crowds overall have been great. a few days were rough (weekends, of course - and Monday which surprised me.). We tried to hop parks and go to whichever park had the shortest lines. My Disney Experience is a life saver!!

Safe travel tomorrow, hope you aren't headed into a snow storm!

Nope! Headed to warm Texas. But it's in the 40's here and feels like a snowstorm to me.

I know you are leaving soon, but did you happen to see if they had any mugs in the Starbucks with the parks on them ? I am SO hoping they have them when I am there in a couple weeks.

 

[minniemous]

I just want to say you are so awesome to answer all these questions and to go out of your way to help people out with answers. I hope you have a wonderful Vacation!! I have a family member who loves POFQ and I will mention to them about the top floor and illuminations in case they do not know...they are staying again this coming year. Thanks again!!!

So sorry - I actually never even walked into any of the Starbucks. My wife did once, but it was so crowded she said she just walked back out.

Thanks so much! I appreciate that. It's been a perfect trip and we're all sad to leave!! Hope my Q&A helped a few folks out!
