Spreadsheet Planners

[tinkerbelletreasure]

Anyone else wake up to today’s new fastpass tiers and have to make major adjustments to your spreadsheet, consider changing all your days around and wonder about switching ADR’s or just me?Seriously though, this is going to change my whole planning strategy. And here I was sad that there was nothing to do in the window between scheduling ADR’s and Fastpasses.

Hi, hello, this is me today too!

Also, no matter how awesome their apps get I will never give up my spreadsheet!

We don't go until July. This news kinda made me mad - I had a nice strategy for RDing TOT and RnRC and then getting a FP+ for SDD and then trying to get SDFP+ for TSMM. Now I have to start re-thinking the entire plan. Luckily, I've got 4 months ha ha.

Me either! I make all kinds of notes on mine. And I don’t trust MDE not to go down when I’m there. Last time I took a printed copy of my spreadsheet and DH laughed at me because it was 7 pages long.

I do get why some people are not thrilled with the news. I’m just glad to not have to use “throw away” Fastpasses anymore because almost nothing that was in tier 2 actually NEEDS a fastpass. And if I have to be in Hollywood Studios at open (we are late sleepers/ close the park people) at least I might have a decent chance of riding some stuff in the morning without having to sit in long lines.

Makes your plan easier I think! Less you need to worry about not having FP for.

I think SDD will become the FP+ of choice, then MFSR next and possibly MMRR when it comes online. Getting through the Tier2s quickly will be the key but I'm concerned there wont be as many SDFP+ as there are currently. I guess only time will tell. At least now I have a reason to frequent this board more often! I was running out of threads to read!!

Well, in a way. Hoping I can get SDD, ToT and RnRC and then maybe get lucky with TSMM as a SDFP+. The kink will be the SB line for MFSR because there's little to no chance I'll be able to snag a SDFP+ for that one.

That’s funny! I get where I feel like there’s nothing new to read in here too! SDD will probably stay the fastpass if choice, which is fine with me. We liked it, but we like 7DMT more, and if I can’t ride every thing, I can skip SDD and be ok with it. Especially on this trip. It’s for my daughters Senior Trip and she’s not a huge Toy Story fan but is Star Wars.

You never know! It’s got a high capacity, and MMRR may be on the FP system by then taking away demand.

Same day might still be okay for some things, since DHS has so many legitimate choices even in tier 2 and I imagine lots of people stop at their 3.

Due to its capacity, MFSR doesn't really need FP+ IMO, and so adding that option will most definitely slow the SB queue down. I agree that MMRR will be on the FP+ system by then. Hopefully they will announce something before my May FP+ date!!!
