Need help thinking through my FP+ plans...

[emsstacey]

We have 2 day park hoppers... late June 27-28.

We didn't get our group tickets in time for the 60 day mark, and now I'm having to work a bit and rethinking my strategy.

Tuesday/27th... we plan to rope drop DHS, ride the top rides and then head to AK. I secured the following fast passes: EE 10:45, Safari 11:55, and FoP at 12:55.

My main concern, is will we have time to ride the rides we want at DHS and make it to AK for our first fp. I'm thinking we will... We will then ride EE, Safari, eat lunch, and then FoP before heading back to the room. Evening will be returning to one of the parks.

Wednesday/28th... I planned to rode drop MK, ride space, Pirates, Jungle Cruise, Splash, BTMR, and then eat lunch... ride whatever else we can and leave during the afternoon. Here is what I got for fp: 10:20 BTMR, BOG ADR 11:40, Space 11:50, and SDMT was booked until 4... so I booked an 8:00, thinking we would come back later that night, or if we aren't back by then... I can just switch it to something else that day.

I'm not sure about the Space Mountain, but thought we could ride it on the way out. Should I switch it to Haunted Mansion or Peter Pan since I'll be riding it first thing after rope drop? Or should we try to make it to SDMT at rope drop and change the late FP+?

Thanks for the advice!!!

If you really want to ride PP, switch your FP to PP to save you the most time.

If you are late to AK, switch EE to a later time or ride Standby late in the day - it's a completely different experience at night. You do actually have until 12:00 noon to ride EE due to the grace period.

Space is easy to do at rope drop so if that is your plan then I would change the Space FP+ to PP or HM.
As for EE, I think you are pushing it, I would make it a little later. But I guess that depends on what you ride at DHS. Honestly EE isn't bad standby either, we like the queue

i like your plan. I personally would rather have a second SM than a PP, but idk if you have kids. HM is a fun que and usually isn't too bad.

I wouldn't worry about the EE fastpass, if you don't make it you can probably reschedule for after FoP

First question, do you have a car or are you relying on Disney transportation? Just thinking relying on the buses to get you between, say, DHS and AK could take a while

For your DHS morning, since you only have a few hours, it depends how many of the big rides you want to get on. Standby for RNRC can build up pretty fast ... but you should definitely be able to do TSMM, ToT, and Star Tours, I would think

For you MK day - as a previous poster mentioned that if you really want PP might want to switch a FP to be for that. Otherwise you will be with the masses heading there at rope drop - beyond that the standby line is going to be 60+ mins

You could switch either BTMRR or Space FP for PP and still be pretty good - the "left" side of the park at rope drop tends to be a little lighter so you could start with BTMRR and Splash Mtn and then head into Adventureland for Pirates and Jungle Cruise and do that pretty efficiently

I ended up switching SM for PP (One in our group can't do rollercoasters) and then my daughter said she doesn't like PP, so we ended up switching it to Haunted Mansion. I'm good with that, especially since we will be back late at night and hopefully can ride again without a fp. Either way, we are good.

As far as DHS, we weren't even going to go because my girls just aren't crazy about it. We love RnRC but that's about it-- hopefully 1.5 hours at rd will be enough, that will give us an hour to get to AK but we are using disney transportation. At worst, we will have to switch the EE fp if we miss it.

Thanks for helping!
