Booked FP+ for our trip in Sept yesterday at 11am Eastern. Had no problems getting FP+ for FoP on all 3 of our AK days for a party of 6.

Our 60 days came up today and we could not get FOP for Sept 6th at all very disappointed

I have not seen this mentioned, but last Friday when we bought our banshees at Windtraders, the price is now $59.99. Also, the tutorial on how to use them was given to the group waiting to enter the rookery before letting people in. There was not a formal "pairing" experience- you went in, looked around, and told the CMs which color you wanted. Then they handed you a box with the banshee inside.

Any reports on opening now that it's 9am? Are they still allowing people in earlier?
Also, anyone heard anything on PPO at TH? We have one, but I am leaning on canceling it, especially if they are allowing people in at 8:45. (We are heading to river ride at RD)

The price change was mentioned in a different thread on the Banshee's. Not a surprise seeing how $49 was really too low. $59 seems a more expected price point and hopefully keeps them on the shelf longer

Did they have all colors again?

This is encouraging!!! I'm going to keep DAK as our day 3 afternoon because it's leading into thanksgiving and it's only going to get more crazy the closer we get to the holiday. Crossing fingers we can get FoP but can try standby if we don't.

No- they were limited. Red/Orange, Purple/Blue, Orange/Yellow were what we saw last Friday. There seemed to be a decent number of each of them- and they were bringing out more as we made our purchase. They put about a dozen or so on display and once you had chosen the color you wanted you told the CM and got the box. It was a little crazy in that small area! I saw so many little kids (2-3 years old) grabbing and manhandling the displayed ones... I was surprised!

That's only a 20% increase.

DH, the economist, would be proud of them, reacting to demand like this...

LOL... I would be so disappointed if they hadn't raised the price. I wondered who head rolled when they realized how low the price was to start with? Look how many they sold they lost $10

I think that they could have set the price at $99 when the park opened and sold out.

We will be in WDW from July 16-31. Our scheduled AK days are the 2 Saturdays, the 22 and 29. We have not been able to get FOP FP and I look pretty often. What would be our best strategy? On both Saturdays AK has EMH from 8-9 am and 10-12 pm. Thanks for your advice.

I would also like to know how the 9:00 am opening is working out. We were planning on arriving just before 8am, and I was hoping to get some feedback from the RD crowd.

Interesting that the price in the banshees went up but it probably had to do with supply and demand.

I'm dying to hear this too - we go Sunday morning and I'd love to know what the new SOP is.

 

[mtemm]

I'm interested to see how the 9am rope drop is going too. We will be there in a few weeks. We were lucky enough to get a FOP fp+, but hope to have a quick/easy rope drop at Na'vi and wondering what time we should get to AK.

night blossom also went up so they must be popular as well

Well I'd better hurry up and get down there before I'm priced out of the night blossom, and the banshee.

Someone else in here mentioned the wait time went down after a thunderstorm when a bunch of people had left the park. Here's hoping for heavy rain...LOL!

 

[ThistleMae]

My strategy....wait in line. Bring water and a snack.
