Magic Kingdom Spring break- without fp

[chimommy]

would you go if you didn't have fast passes? We booked a last min trip to Orlando for spring break. I have a 1 day ticket for Disney, we could use for this trip, however I dont think I will be able to schedule fp for it. I was told the passes had the 3 unscheduled fast passes attached to it, but after talking with Disney ticket services, it sounds like they are just tickets, with the normal fast passes. Anyway, I have to pick them up in person before I can add them to my account... so I really won't be able to schedule fast passes in advance. Being spring break, I think its just going to be crazy busy and maybe we should just use them for another trip. Would I be crazy to go to MK during one of the peak spring break weeks without FP? My kids are little and I just can't see us waiting in 120min wait lines, but we are still considering it.... Thanks!

You can get a lot done at MK without any FastPasses if you're willing to stay late when the lines are shortest.

Here is what we were able to accomplish in under 4 hours during a recent summer visit on a crowd level 8 day.

Big Thunder 3x
Splash Mtn 2x
Space Mtn 2x
Mine Train (10 min wait right a closing time)
Pirates
Jungle Cruise
Haunted Mansion
Pooh
Peter Pan
Speedway
Barnstormer 2x

We also watched the parade and fireworks and had a couple of Dole Whips.

Im impressed... I don't think we get that much done on a smaller crowd day with fast passes!!

I'm a bit confused by your post.
What do you mean by "normal Fastpasses"?
Have your purchased the tickets?
How did you purchase the tickets?
You should be able to link them to your MDE account and if staying onsite book them 60 days in advance and if staying offsite depending on where you are staying 60 days or 30 days in advance.
Also you say "spring break" but when is your spring break?
If its the week leading up to or after Easter Sunday then it will be very crowded but before or after those weeks it shouldn't be too bad.
Its definitely worth going no matter what in my opinion.
You can get a lot done during the first 2 hours the park is open.

I would absolutely go without FP. I could honestly enjoy MK without rides altogether! There’s so much to see and do.

I don't understand what you mean by unscheduled fastpass and normal fastpass. Can you elaborate?

My husband and I did it with no fp’s last month during the busy holiday season. If you can get there early (we were there by 7:30a for 8a rd-which isn’t even that early. When we got there, it looked so crowded but once they opened the gates, we did sdmt, pp, all the mountains, buzz spin, potc...all before 11a lunch at LTT. Now granted, we didn’t do any characters but I feel strategy would have still worked. Rope drop is key imho!

We've been during spring break and had no problem at MK, but we were in MK by 7-7:15am the 3 mornings we spent there. We had Fantasyland, Circus area, Tomorrowland and Haunted Mansion done by noon. We had afternoon FP+ but that was so we could leave by 5:00pm since I had younger kids. If you are staying all day, it would be no problem without FP+ if you start early.

You will use same-day

Magic Kingdom also has a lot of day of fastpasses

Yes! OP, please take advantage of the same-day FP benefit if you can’t book in advance.
