FP availability question. Tomorrow is my 60 day FP+ booking day. However I only have a checki-n day and check-out day of Jul 31 and Aug 1, and then a rolling booking after that. We are staying at WBC but I booked a campsite for one night. So is anyone having any luck booking FoP or NRJ FP+ for their arrival day or arrival+1 day?

Also I will be interested to hear how Rope Drop for both rides goes in the coming weeks if I can't get a FP+. We are a party of 5 too, so I am not sure how my odds will be for that. My DS is 6 and 44+" tall but I am not even sure that he will want to ride it.

Night blossom is very good. Got the glowing seed with it but not the souvenir cup. I also got the lumpia also good but very sweet. Next time I'd share the lumpia.

I'm not having a problem getting availability for July 30th (60 days) for a party of 4 at least (don't have 5 eligible passes right now), starting around 3:15pm. Since I also see times like 3:20, 3:30, etc. worst case you might have to do some overlap. I think you should be fine. NRJ I still see tons of availability even as I try to change FPP a couple weeks earlier (I'm also working withing a rolling booking).

 

[Lights]

Any chance the opening day pin is still available?

Which would you go for in terms of FPs-FoP or 7DMT? It will be our last full park day when we will be attempting all 4 parks (via the express buses).

In theory:
FoP - we will have ridden 2x already, once via rope drop + am EMH and once via FP
7DMT - We will have ridden at least 2x, both via FPs.

We will also have a MNSSHP night, on a Tuesday in early/mid September, so crowds probably will be pretty light. Do you think it's likely we would be able to ride it another time late that night without much wait?

Also on our 4-park attempt, we will do AK-HS-EP-MK (BOG dinner and HEA). If we went with FoP, we could possibly get more FPs at the other parks after using that one. If we did 7DMT we would not be able to do any other FPs until we arrived at MK.

Writing it all out, it seems FoP is the way to go, unless someone thinks otherwise?

I personally would go with FoP and not think twice.

At AK now. Had FP for NRJ, hit the FP tapstile at 5:00 and off the boat by 5:14. Very fast.

Starting to rain so figured I might as well wait it out in the FoP queue. Just entered standby at 5:15 with a listed 120min wait. We'll see how it goes

It's raining right now, but not very hard. I'm currently timing to see how accurate the estimate is.

Everyone is used to going to AK early. THey are still doing that, and all running to Pandora so they can go to their main park for the day.

ANd perhaps some proof the average park guest isn't so gaga over FoP. They aren't even interested in a less than two hour wait for a reride.

But, there are plenty of kids still in school this week.

Bad enough that many AK and MK attractions are temporarily closed though.

 

[rteetz]

Flight of Passage was great! I didn't even feel the leg restraints. The screen tech is incredible!

As of 11:10 EST on MDE

FoP is at 60 minutes

NRJ is at 30 minutes

It is also storming in the area which may have made people head out.

Two years ago at MK...we hit a downpour that lasted all night. No one in the park but us...rode on everything with no lines...it was amazing! Hope we get a downpour again this year!

Raining here now but lines are still long.

 

[rteetz]

The line cutters are a serious problem. People leave to go get food and drinks. Like seriously?

 

[smallworldnh]

do you think any of the items at Windtraders (like those adorable Banshees) will be sold at the other Disney shops, like at Disney Springs??

 

[ThistleMae]

It won't change. This will be the case for a long time. Just like Frozen and 7dmt for the most part. Just be on right at 7am at your 30 day mark and hope for the best

Thanks, this is helpful...7 a.m. it is!

Do they keep Splash open in a strong rains as long as no thunderstorms? I assume all the other outdoor rides definitely closed but thought Splash might stay open since it's a water ride.

 

[ThistleMae]

I just checked I'm 30 days away and no FOP FP. IM ok as I am on site and got them at 60 day out.

Did you check at 7 a.m. eastern time by any chance?

We went on 7DTM like six times, don't know about splash. Haunted mansion, pirates, etc. running through puddles and laughing our butts off, ran right into the que's!
