No More Tink?

[STXMom]

Plus, we have plans to go to the Boardwalk and eat dinner before Fantasmic. I don't know how close we're cutting it with that 3rd FP+. ARGH!

 

[Itinkso]

What time are you getting to the park? If you did all 3 Fp+ earlier in the morning, you would have time to choose a 4th Fp+ for Minnie or even Fant.

I followed mesaboy's FP list so I still have TSMM. My HS FP+s go like this:

TSMM: arrive between 110pm-210pm
Star Tours: arrive between 245-345
Disney Jr Live on stage: arrive between 430-445

My daughter really loves Minnie, so I wasn't sure how big the demand would be for her at HS.

I think you might be okay with this. People are reporting that they can get the extra FP+ with return times that are soon after when they get them. It looks like Minnie will be greeting until 7:30 on the 12th. If you could eat dinner and make it back to the park by 7:00, you'd be fine to head over to the meet & greet with a FP+ for 6:30 to 7:30, then go back to get in line for Fantasmic.

We don't have any dinner ADRs, we're just craft brew nerds and wanted to try the brews at the Boardwalk. I would push them earlier, but we have an H&V character breakfast res. Anyone know the general boat travel time between HS and the boardwalk?

BTW, you have all been exceedingly helpful! The closer it gets the more panicked I become!

You could walk to the Boardwalk in 20 minutes or so. Depending on the timing of the boat, it will take 20 minutes or more to get to BW. The boat stops at Swan/Dolphin, YC/BC, and then BW.

You can always book ToT for first thing in the morning and allow it to expire. You won't need a Fp+ for the Disney Jr. Show. So, you will be able to choose your 4th Fp+ for earlier in the day. Then, try for a 5th Fp+ for Fantasmic so that you won't have to find seats an hour before the show starts. The left side of the amphitheater is now reserved for Fp+.

I've walked the whole way from HS to Epcot in 20 minutes (although I was walking very briskly) so the walk to Boardwalk could easily be done with kids in 20 minutes or less. It would be faster than taking the boat.

What do you have planned in the morning? I agree with Itinkso that you don't need a FP+ for the Disney Jr. Show. I would move that one to the morning and either use it then or let it expire. If you could, move the Star Tours one earlier as well. Then you'd open up the 4th FP+ more quickly.

If anything, I would switch your Disney Jr Live FP+ for Minnie earlier in the day (if available) then try to get a Disney Jr as your 4th+ FP. I don't really think that's a show you need a FP for and if you sit up close because you have a FP, most likely your child won't be able to see the puppets.

Minnie is a Tier 1 FP+ so she can't switch out the Disney Jr. or the Star Tours FP+s. It would have to be the TSMM FP+, which wouldn't be a good move.

So, OP should stick with ToT first thing in the morning while she's having breakfast and then try for Minnie as her 4th... now that we are totally confusing her!

TSMM: arrive between 110pm-210pm
Star Tours: arrive between 245-345
Disney Jr Live on stage: arrive between 430-445

I agree with other posters:
You don't really need a FP+ for the Disney Jr Show. We've done this show once with FP+ and once without FP+ and our seats were almost the same because it is just open floor seating (no seats, just sit on the ground).
Our FP+ didn't get us anywhere closer or better for viewing the stage. Just don't show up too late for your show or else you could end up in the waaaaay back, but even that isn't too bad because the theater is not deep at all.

You can always get Disney Jr using your 4th FP+; just make sure the showtimes work for you. I don't think they do shows past 540p. It runs 24 min long.

This makes cross. We are 6 days away and due to disney we planned like mad to nail down a schedule. Last week I rechecked everything especially Tink since my 4 yo is fairy mad. It listed as Tinkers nook for our dates. Now Tinkers nook has gone from the site so am I meant to change the plans disney insist I lock in? It is not available as a fp option.
Anyone know if it's effective now?

Counting down to 14th May!

Totally agree, sorry still catching up on the latest news and missed the Tier 1 part.

Whether Tink is at her Nook or in Town Square Theater during your trip, you do not need a Fp+ for her as there will be a standby line. If she does move to TST, you could always plan on using a 4th, 5th, etc Fp+ for her but it probably won't be necessary.

Frustrating, I know. My DD is fairy mad too. I would guess that the switch to Town Square Theater would occur very soon since it's already been changed on their website. I would expect Tink to be available at Tinkers Nook until the change occurs. Just keep checking here on the Disboards, kennythepirate.com, and the MDE app for updates. I don't see this being a difficult FP+ to get so it might be a good use of a 4th FP+.

Same here, had a plan to meet Tink in her nook, now she is not even listed in the character meet and greets. I did notice that the three FP+ only meet and greets are now listed on the Disney character experiences page. Maybe Tink will show up soon. We will be there on May 11th so crossing my fingers.

If all else fails,you can see Tinker Bell at The Briar Patch(sort of).

Kenny the Pirate just posted that Tink is moving to Town Square on May 20. No other Fairies will be with her.
