Marathon Weekend 2019

[KSellers88]

I have not been to Universal in years, at least 12 years so I am no hope there. I've never seen or read Harry Potter so it doesn't draw me in.

I have a rookie Disney question, but my memory is shot. LOL. My fastpass day is next Monday...I am staying at Pop for Marathon Weekend and have an AP. My AP expires before Marathon Weekend but I will be renewing. Am I still good to do fastpasses Monday? If this question is not making sense, please let me know. It was a long weekend of early mornings.

No I’m in the same boat. We have to call and ask them to let us renew early so we can book FPs.

Aw snap. So that means I have to pay??? My budget was not prepared for that. LOL.

I need to do that for my husband’s ticket. Luckily we can do monthly payments as we’re Floridians

My FP+ day is Friday. Our military salute tickets are supposed to arrive today, so should be all set to go. I've got my plans in place for our selections, so hopefully will all work out. I'm really hoping for more manageable crowds this year.

Weird. Mine expires in December and I haven’t renewed yet, but I was able to make FP+s ...

My fast pass day is Sunday.

And I have no idea what to FP because I know nothing about Toy Story Land!

But I need FOP because I didn't get a FP last time and the lines were 6+ hours on Marathon Weekend 2018!

They know you and know that you WILL renew.

True, they’re gonna be in for a shock when I dump my Platinum Plus for a Gold because I went and bought that good deal AP at Universal ...

Crap. FP day already? I have no clue what the heck I'm doing. I'm more of a last minute planner.

 

[Sakigt]

I let my annual passes expire and plan on buying new ones in January. Debating calling Disney to go ahead and purchase so I can make FP but not sure I want to spend the money right now vs January. Ugh. We go a lot so the only ones I really want are in Toy Story land and if I don’t get them I’d be pretty annoyed. Considering just too dripping after 5k or 10k day

Oh snap Fastpass Day is just creepin' up! Looks like mine is Saturday - I haven't even thought about park days or anything. My only plan is to just to grab Slinky Dog FPs whenever than go from there.

As for Universal - I've Only done Islands of Adventure once for that Harry stuff. I want to do it and the new stuff again, but it will have to wait.

I still can't decide if I am going to renew my pass or if I'm even going to the parks this trip.

Advice Needed!

So because of flights, we are starting our trip a day earlier (Jan 9th). We are staying at Pop and they don't have any rooms available, so looks like I might have to stay at a different resort the first night? I don't really want to split-stay... anyone know the chances of a room opening up that first night?

It's possible. Maybe check some travel agents?

At least with this situation you are only looking for one night so you won't get too situated if you have to move resorts.

My FP day is Saturday. Which is harder to get Slinky Dog or FoP? I'm trying to decide which to go for first.

Seems I tweaked my knee the other day, not running. I'm not sure if I should go see an orthopedist right away or give it a few more days... I'm supposed to do 17 this weekend. Ugh.

I would say probably FoP but both have been tough.

This has happened to me before. You need to renew your pass before you try and book FPs, regardless of if it's a new pass/renewal that doesn't take effect until you enter through the gates in January.

You can renew 60 days before and 30 day after your AP expires.

Slinky waits are short at night, usually less than 30 min. So don't fret if you don't get a FP for that.
