OK I survived my first MB/FP+ trip!

[luvgoing2disney]

We had not been to WDW since the MB/FP+ went park wide. Our last visit, September 2013, it was still in the testing mode and last year we visited DLR. I'll be honest in that I almost dreaded the trip after reading story after story of horrible experiences with them.

Well, I guess I am another convert.

The ONLY glitch we had was using the MB's to enter our resort room. On first try, neither mine or DW's would work. So we went back to the desk, they made some adjustments. We went back to the room and hers worked but mine still did not. More adjustments and then mine worked. On each visit, I warned the CM's that I had their names and knew where they worked in case of the erasure of FP+'s and ADR's, but they assured me they were all still there.

And they were!

Even before we left, when we had the opportunity to make our selections, (which were past the 60 make and NOT made at the stroke of midnight) we had no problem getting attractions we wanted to ride. And alsmost every attraction that we really like, we rode multiple times. And this was just last week whith 8 crowd levels as Spring Breaks were starting.

So, it's not the big bad wolf I had anticipated at all. Now, I will admit that I didn't make any changes to our FP selections for fear of losing some as others have stated. Maybe next trip, possibly this November, I'll venture out into the water a little more!

Thank you for sharing your experience.

We're you able to make same day FP+ after your 3 were used? If so were headliners
available?

We did not make late changes but that was more my fault. When we booked the FP+'s I just selected what I was first shown and they were late afternoon. Next time I will be a little more careful to use them earlier in the day.

One that I do recommend for a late day was one for Wishes.

We had a perfect experience with them as well. No glitches at all.

We were there last week as well. Sat at DHS no headliners available around 3:00 when our last FP expired. We did get Star Tours.

AK we didn't even try. We rode EE 2x SB & once FP at RD, rode Primeval Whirl x 2, played in the boneyard, did the Safari & Kali FP & left by 12ish (park opened at 8).

Epcot on Thurs we had PM FP so we didn't even attempt it.

On our 3 MK days we saw PM availabity for BTMRR once, Splash on Fri (checking for 5 people so that makes a difference). A father & daughter in front of us got a Space FP at about 7pm Wed.

There was good availability for secondary rides like POTC, Pooh, VoTLM, Buzz, Barnstormer, Aladdin. However the return times were mostly 2 hours & the SB was bad!!

We did very well doing RD, breaking between 11 & 12. Returning around 4 & 5.

We rode 7DMT 2x each of our MK days with no wait - RD & FP. Fri AM we did 7D, BTMRR x 3, & ate at CRT by 10-10:30.

We made one bad error - got into the PP SB. Never again without a FP on a 8+ day!
