Here now - would like an opinion on FEA

[TeresaWen]

ok. I have fast passes for Frozen tonight at 6:35. We are by storm along bay and just don't want to move!

I know I will not be able to move this to another day - not a FP to be had.

My question - is it worth it. Just me and my husband. And we will be back in a few months (not that I think getting a FP will be any easier in September)

Need to decide by 4:00. Ugh! Thinking of canceling and going to see Star Wars fireworks later.

Wish I could give someone our fast passes.

So - more wine by the pool or frozen ever after?

Well I haven't been so I can't answer how it is but I can tell you my fo+ window opened today for my 60 days and there were plenty available for FEA including on my arrival day.

If I was comfy, enjoying my day and my kids weren't there to encourage me to leave I would enjoy the day where and when I could.

If you give cancel your fp you currently have I think that would technically be giving them to someone else.

Thanks! If we do end up staying at SAB we will cancel. If we go we will be including a few margaritas in Mexico

Just realized tonight is EMH in HS so may not be the best time to see fireworks there.

It's a choice you guys will have to make on if you just want to sit and chill...pardon the pun. We just rode FEA last week and I will say it was absolutely worth it. It's a really good ride. If you're sure you're going back in a few months and don't mind waiting, then don't worry about it. But if you're not sure, then go!

Queue was beautiful. First room was pretty cool. Rest of it was lame and I wouldn't wait more than 10-20 minutes for the ride ever again. It was very disappointing.

I would soak up SAB don't worry about the FP...

We rode FEA right after it opened and we loved it! We love SAB, too, so that's a hard one. Since I'm sure it's squelching hot there, I'd probably cancel the FP and continue hanging out at SAB especially since you'll be back in September; you can ride it then. If you didn't have another trip booked I would say to use the FP and experience FEA.

Thanks! We decided to go. We will hang by the pool tomorrow! A stop in France for some champagne first. A margarita in Mexico after. Ice Cream for dinner on the boardwalk!

LOOKING FORWARD to FEA this October!

Well, you didn't mention the champagne and margaritas before so...I admire your decision making criteria. We also travel without kids and it would be conundrum.

 

[NileNellie]

Stormalong Bay is bliss. Plus wine? I'd stay put.

 

[coolbrook]

Please report in later and let us know if you thought it was worth it. Did you enjoy your evening? Did you like the ride?

Ha ha! We are going. Relaxing on the balcony now before we head to EPCOT. I will indeed report back.

Only two days in and while very hot it has been awesome so far!

 

[AquaDame]

I really loved it, personally. I didnt feel like there was too much dead space or anything, my eyes were fixed where the imagineers wanted them the whole way through though..! I hope you have fun!

 

[AJA55]

Def our kind of people! But we'd go for a GG slushy and a Margarita.

 

[TeresaWen]

Well we got our champagne in France and slowly made our way around using the friendship boats. A stop in Mexico for a margarita too. We arrived at the FP entrance about a minute after our beginning FP time of 6:35

Guess what. That's right five minutes earlier the ride went down!! We did get an any time FP but it had to be used by the end of day.

Hanging around not an option. No place to sit. Leaving and coming back not an option for us either. My husband has mobility issues. Needs to walk very slow with frequent stops. I try very hard not to have us backtrack when planning our day. We left via friendship boats. I booked dinner on rht Boardwalk. (Italian place - excellent)

Thankfully guest relations at the international gateway fully understood our situation and gave us an any time FP for FEA for Monday - our next planned EPCOT. I so appreciated this! Yes I am happy we can see Frozen. But more importantly it was great that our situation was understood & acknowledged.

I see another margarita in our future.

 

[JerseyJanice]

That was nice of them to do.

Hope you enjoy it much when you do get to see it.

Yes it was! I stopped by guest relations just to give them feedback that not everyone is physically able to "grab dinner and come back". Never expected they could do anything. Very touched that the cast member did this for us.

 

[JerseyJanice]

I have family there now who went to EMH at the Studios last night and got to ride Frozen yesterday. They loved both.

 

[TeresaWen]

We got to do frozen last night. It was just ok. I am glad we had a fast pass! I would not have been happy waiting 120 minutes for that.

However all the little ones coming off the ride did look happy!

We did get more margaritas. And slushies.

 

[OrangeCountyCommuter]

If I had seen the post time I would have responded "Don't go, it probably won't be working anyway" How sad that my guess would have been right.

Glad Guest Services made it right for you, but this is stupid Disney. You spent how long on this ride and we get "opps it doesn't actually work"?
