Late arrival at HS with GAD for FPs???

[triciari]

How late will I be able to arrive at HS and exchange my GAD for FPs? I've never been before, my kids are 7, 5 and 2, and to be honest, TSM is the only thing we're really interested in trying. (No RnR, no ToT!)

What do you think?

No one has reported being denied a fastpass exchange card at any time of day, even at the busiest times of year. We redeemed ours at Epcot at 6 pm with no trouble, but we redeemed at DHS at 9:30. We intentionally came after DHS rope drop so we wouldn't get caught in the TSM morning stampede. Even if TSM FPs are gone (which they probably will be by lunchtime), you will still be able to get FPs with the GAD FP exchange cards.

Disney states that FP exchange cards may be limited, but no one has reported on the DIS that they couldn't get them. Disney also states that they may not be valid during extra magic hours, so you probably can't redeem during evening extra magic hours (in case you meant that late).

Thanks for the reply!

No, by late, I meant after my 2 year old's nap - about 2:30!

Between 2:30 and 6:30, I hope to get to ride TSM 3 times and maybe watch VoTLM or Indy, eat "dinner" at 3:40 at HBD, then go to Fantasmic with package tickets.

Do you know if I can eat apps. at HBD and not use my dining plan credits, and still get the special fantasmic tickets?

Thanks, tricia

To get the Fantasmic tickets each person has to order an entree. It's a package deal.
