There are an abundance of FoP fast passes available for the Nov 3-5 window ... of course I only looked for 1 person, but if you’re willing to do the solo thing, they’re out there.

Thanks for the heads up. Was able to get one on Friday. Anyone know how the lines for the Navi River Journey have been? Obviously better than FOP.

Thanks for the heads up. Re-arranged my park days and will be there Thurs. afternoon.

I'm going to be stalking the disneyworld app every Wed night (our planned time to visit Pandora) to get a gauge of what the Navi wait is like. Too bad I can't do two FP in Epcot morning and one at AK night on the same day. I will be trying for same day FP all day after our Epcot ones are up though.
No FOP for us this time.

Does anyone know when the F&W booths that are in Future World open? I see 11:30 for world showcase but haven't found if its the same or differs for the future world ones. Would be cool to try out some of the new offerings like Light Lab before heading into the countries.

Woohoo! Managed to score some FOP fast passes for Sunday the 5th!

I've been checking my Disney for the same thing... the lines are simply long. I'm quite surprised how long they still are throughout all the parks... low season is really a thing of the past.

Logistics question for those of you who did Star Wars or are just in the know. For the half do we park at EPCOT and then bus over to TTC for starting, that way our cars are already at the finish? Also another thought do they charge for parking at that time?

I didn't run Star Wars, but other runDisney races that have had differing locations for the start and finish, they have you park at the finish area and bus you to the starting area.

There is no charge for parking for event participants or their spectators.

Same for Dark Side - park at Epcot, bus to MK.

Thank you! it seems cruel to make someone pay for parking at 2am.

I just get the shudders from the 2012 Chip & Dale marathon relay. I was the second leg and got to sit in the parking lot for a few hours and wait for my partner to finish the first portion. (I'd gladly do it all over, because of the bling though.)

I wouldn't expect it to be much different than being transported over to WWoS, except it seems a little bit more logistically easier at the TTC than WWoS.

I did just for the Dark Side, was super easy and great to have our vehicle at the end of our run.

I guess maybe it's not very efficient for Disney but it seems like the relay would a popular option for people at Disney. Maybe not though since it doesn't exist anymore.

I always forget about France! My mind isn’t as sharp as it once was!

Nothing better than mimosas before 10AM!
