Off Site Fast Passes - Help

[chekhovgirl]

Hi all,

We're staying off site during April vacation week planning on going to MK and AK on April 17 and 19. Last year we only went to Epcot, we did Frozen at rope drop and just walked on, so I haven't had to deal with MK FP or AK FP since Pandora opened and I have some questions!

We have a party of 8 adults, 4 elementary kids and 2 toddlers and we're staying off-site at WBC. I know we won't be able to get FOP FP, but what else is hard to get FP for? We'll probably rope drop the Pandora rides, what else will be hard to get within a 30 day window? What is still hard to get at a 60 day window?

Thanks in advance for your help. I've been reading a lot of threads, but would love some succinct advice.

FoP is really the only ride that's hard to get at 60 days.

For 30 days out and for AK and MK the rides you might have trouble getting a FP for are Navi River Journey and 7 dwarves mine train. Other than that really everything else is up for grabs.

See the Availability post in the FP FAQ.

We just booked our fastpasses 30 days out as off site guests. Obviously, no chance for FOP but I could have had Navi. 7 Dwarves Mine Train was also impossible. We were able to get Frozen, but only for an evening time. We are a large party, 10, but even splitting up the party, Seven Dwarves was impossible. I even tried for just one!
Do start right at 7 am though. Things like Peter Pan and Thunder Mtn were disappearing before my eyes!
Good Luck!

Thanks all, I really appreciate it. It's funny, we went MK when we were off site soon after 7DMT opened and got FP no problem. Maybe it's the fact that everyone is more hip to the whole FP thing through MB, etc. Will have to research what it's like at rope drop/close! We didn't ride it last time and my kids didn't care, but I did!

7dmt is not impossible at 30 days, it just goes quick. However the size of your party plays a big part.

I would go over everything and see about splitting the party up. Like 4 people at a time to search for FP's. When I say 7dmt isn't impossible at 30 days out, my experience is with 2 people. I'm never searching for 8. So trying 4 and then the other 4 with an overlapping time might be what you'll have to do
