Just got back from a short trip to PO=Riverside. I found it extremely crowded. We never even got on soaring. On Wednesday, 11/09 it was a 200 minute wait and all fast passes were given out by 11:00 am. We had started in MGM and moved over to Epcot to do food & wine festival.

We were able to get FP for TT though. But anyone going, please be advised you need to use FP. Waits were longer than they should be for this time of year.

Also, make sure you have ADR's...There was literally no availability for walk-ins in either MGM, MK or countries in Epcot or DD.

any questions, please ask, would be happy to answer.

We had a wonderful time! thank goodness I had my ADR's
 
It was probably extra busy because of the long holiday weekend. People probably just "added on" a couple of days to take a quick trip. Glad you had those ADRs!

Welcome home.

Fast passes run out? So there is a limited amount of them?


They sure do, TT was out of them by 9:30 AM a few times over fourth of July week!
 

eeks I had no idea. I know how to get a fast pass and how to use it, but do you have to use a fp in order to get another fp for another ride?

when you get your first FP, it will indicate on the ticket when you are eligible to retrieve another one. Many times it is before you need to use the first one
 
We just returned also and I will have to second getting FP's.

We get fastpasses when we enter the park and always ride the most "important to us" rides/attractions first. We either eat or go on an older ride while waiting for the FP ride. Works out well for us. The week was busy.
 
We are firm believers in FP, too. It's the only way to be certain that we get to do all the "must do's". I've never had an occasion where they ran out, though. Glad you had your ADR's. I'm too chicken to go without them and risk not getting seated @our favorite places. Thanks for the heads up and glad you are home safely.
 
We always have a fast pass in hand. we always get another one before we use our first one.
 
My brother has been at Disney all week too and he also said it's more crowded than normal. This used to be the slow season! Thank goodness for Fast Pass!
