Should I change FP?

[cmfitz14]

Going over the FP+ attractions I've made for August. The first day we arrive, we hope to get to MK by 2 or 3. We have FP+ for under the sea (4-5), meet Ariel.(5-6) & Anna/Elsa (6-7). Do you think we should switch under the sea for enchanted tales with bell? We had hoped to do enchanted tales with belle the following day as standby after dinner. Thoughts?

The Little Mermaid may have a slightly less average wait time than Enchanted Tales w/Belle, but if you get a FP+ with ETWB, don't you skip the cottage and Magic Mirror or something beforehand? Just keep that in mind if you decide to switch. I am trying to remember exactly what is skipped, since I only went through ETWB once, last year.

I'm not sure, but I think I may have read that somewhere, so good point!!! We don't want to miss that.

Last year, we did not skip over the cottage and mirror when using a fp. Things may have changed since then, but we were able to see them both in August. I would get the fp for ETWB.

We did it on FP+ a couple of weeks ago. You enter through the side door, right into Maurice's workshop, so you don't miss the mirror (which was awesome!).

As for the OP's question - yes, I'd switch FP+ to Enchanted Tales with Belle. It holds a limited number of people per show while Under the Sea is a continuously loading people-mover. Wait times aren't as bad at UtS and it has a nice, cool, entertaining queue.

i would never get a FP+ for under the sea.
every time i've gone on no matter the time of day or time of year its been a walk on.

you do not skip the mirror during ETWB when using FP+.
thats part of the attraction. if they had you skip it you would be missing the explanation of what the attraction is about.

if it were me i'd change from under the seat to ETWB.

ETWB is notoriously more highly recommended for FP+ usage than Under the Sea. I'd switch

We saw the mirror with FP, but not the cottage.

OP, I would think that under sea could be EASILY accomplished at rope drop. Not sure if your morning includes MK, but if it does and given your FP choices, I am assuming this is a younger child. Morning would be a great time to hit under the sea and barn stormer and dumbo multiple times if desired.

No idea how it will play out in August, but we have gone a lot since December through the Thursday before Memorial Day and this has been our very consistent experience.

So I would switch the FP myself.

Thanks for clearing up whether you skip the mirror with a FP+.
