Sept 2014?

[mgsquared]

We're going from the 25th of Sept. to the 2nd of Oct. Going to MNSSHP on the 26th as it is hubby's birthday and will probably be in HS that morning so we will do HS fast passes that day and try for 7DMT on the next MK day. Tomorrow I can finally book fast passes! I cannot believe all the planning needed for these trips. Almost ruins some fun, I feel a bit overwhelmed at having to book fast passes now.

 

[KNovacovschi]

So getting nervous about getting A&E. We have 2 MK days planned, Sept 29 & Oct 1, however it looks like Sept 29 is already unavailable & it looks like Oct 1 is getting that way to.

 

[WDWaddictt]

We got all our FP:

A&E
7DMT
Peter Pan

Splash Mountain
BTMRR
Journey Under the Sea

Soarin'
Spaceship Earth
Turtle Talk

I am sure I will add more, once I purchase upgrades onto our tickets. But I am happy with what I got.

I got all the fast passes I wanted. In fact I managed to tweak some today to better times that I couldn't get last week? Strange. But we fortunately don't want A&E. If you are doing the park for a full day perhaps the new system of getting a cardboard fast pass for A&E they are trialling might be best?? Least then you still get 3 FP+

This is what I was thinking, hopefully it was successful and they keep it. Only thing is on the 19th I've booked the KTTK tour so won't be at rope drop and the 1st we have ADR at CP at 8:35 so no rope drop. I really want it but won't be overly upset not to get it, it's not like I have my DD with us this time so it's adult only.

 

[mgsquared]

First fast pass day and there's no getting TSMM.

So I guess we need to decide what days we want to do them on! Decisions, decisions!!

Hello all!!!

So glad you were able to snag the FP+ you were looking for!!!

Dare i say..... I am NOT a fan of the FP+ system. I am glad i know we are guaranteed to see Ana and Elsa. also be able to ride 7DMT.. Yet to know where i will be at every minute of the park day kinda kills the magic of just wandering around...

Thankfully most of the rides FP+ aren't needed in Sept so we can still do our normal touring..

I have hit my 40 days today. it's getting SO CLOSE! Still have tons to do! How about you? everyone have everything done?

If i have missed adding you to the first page PLEASE let me know!!!

I was wondering if I should be concerned with crowds during our visit to the World ? It will be during the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival . I assume EPCOT will be a bit more crowded but, what about the resorts and parks in general. After all this is usually a slow time of the year, even with Free Dining. Any thoughts ?

 

[twinmom2002]

Woo Hoo, we got some Mickey mail on Saturday - just a quick pamphlet going over some of our choices and reservations, but it's so fun to get something.

I have so much planned, I can't wait until we get a little closer to September!!

 

[KNovacovschi]

Booked FP+ right at 12 and I'm so glad I did. I did Oct 1st first for A&E and the earliest time I could get was 3:10-4:10, when I was done all my FP's I decided to go back and see if I could change it and there were no alternate times available. But that's ok at least I was able to get one.

My FP's are as follows, but may change times a few times before our trip.

Sept 27 - arrival day but not going to parks so no FP

28 - EPCOT - Spaceship Earth - 9:35-10:35
Mission: SPACE - 10:50-11:50
SOARIN - 11:55-12:55

29 - MK - Key to the Kingdom Tour - 9-2
Buzz Lightyear - 3-4
7DMT - 4:30-5:30
Big Thunder Railroad - 5:50-6:50

30 - HS - Toy Story Mania - 10:20-11:20
Tower of Terror - 11:25-12:25
Star Tours - 12:25-1:25

Oct 1 - MK - Pirates of the Carribean - 10:10-11:10
Space Mountain - 1:30-2:30
Anna & Elsa - 3:10-4:10

2 - EPCOT - Spaceship Earth - 10:10-11:10
Test Track - 11:15-12:15
The Seas with Nemo & Friends - 1:15-2:15

Dinosaur - 10:35-11:35

So we did receive what we wanted and pretty much the times we wanted but since it is still 2 months away I will definitely be tweaking them in the coming months.

I hope everyone else got what they wanted as well.

i really don't think you will have problems. The main reason we go in Sept. is because of the low crowds! I hate crowds...

If you go to one of the web sites they break up the dates pretty easily when you can see Crowd levels. I use touring plans.

Oct 1 - MK - Pirates of the Carribean - 10:10-11:10
Space Mountain - 1:30-2:30
Anna & Elsa - 3:10-4:10

I think you're wasting a FP on Pirates of the Caribbean. There has NEVER been a wait in Sept for this one in the past. Always NO wait or 5 min. I would pick a mountain. Have a great trip! 49 day countdown for me!

Ok thanks for the tip. We've gone in October & November the last 2 years & it's been about the same, just walk on.

You could always keep the fp and change it when you get there if it is a walk on. I always like to get a fp for our must do rides, just in case there is a line.

Sign us up!

September 10-16, AS-Sports

 

[KNovacovschi]

Just a quick question.

We have Hoop Dee Doo reservations at 8:30pm & it is our MK day, what time would you suggest we leave MK to go over? We want to take the boat as well as we will have to pick up our tickets before the show unless we can pick them up another way/time. Also what is the best way to get back to POP after.

TIA

 

[KaTinkerbell]

Eeeeee! Today is a great day! Received my Tinkerbell Disney Visa and ready to start earning rewards! Aug. 1st FP+ so I hope my internet is up to speed at midnight!

You need to give yourself at least 40 minutes to get over to FW. Sometimes the boats fill up and you have to wait for the next one.

There will be a bus that will take you back to Pop. It is very convenient.
