Should I change my AK day?

[TeacherDL]

Yes, but this could vary at different resorts, and at different stops within resorts.
The plan should be to be at the bus stop 95 minutes before scheduled opening so you don’t miss the first bus. If, by chance, the first bus fills up at earlier stops in your resort it may not arrive, but you should be ok as long as the next one arrives 20 minutes later.

We are staying at BLT so we should be okay with not sharing buses (hopefully). Thank you so much!

On two of the three mornings I did this, I also had a fast pass for later that morning. So I rode 5 times all together. It is well worth getting up early! Prepare yourself for AWESOMENESS!

Just booked today. Wasn't able to get my 60 day extra magic hour morning FOP, but I got Na'vi. I was able to get evenings at 60+4 and 60+5, so we are going to AK three times, one morning and two evenings. Kids are okay with that.

It's a shame we have to do these kinds of things to ride a ride at Disney

Wait and see what you get tomorrow. If you can be flexible you shouldn't have a problem getting what you want.

We had planned AK for our second day and our last day as a backup. We were able to book FoP for both days.

We have planned to go on our second day and hope to get one around noon. What time did you get for the second day?

Did you happen to notice if there were any available for Friday or Saturday? I'm stressing over how to change my plans (especially a lunch at Tusker House and possibly at Via Napoli if I have to change my park days.)

I'm not sure if you have your answer, but when I tried to book at 6:00 a.m. CST this morning, there were no FOP FPs available for June 8th (my 60+3). Plenty of availability for June 10th. I didn't try for the 9th.

Yes, I booked Monday morning...had to change to Saturday. I could get something Friday in the evening (5:00 or after) and Saturday at 1:00. I was able to change my dining to Saturday, so that worked out fine.

You don't. You just have to do things like this to ride without waiting in a long line. Choose your poison. I'd rather get up early and watch the park come alive than stand in a line any day.
