Hello 
Everyone!
I had my first experience with the FP for cash system today.
I was able to make selections for our 6 park days this morning at 6am central time.
Here is the shocking
news! It was very easy!
The MDE didn’t crash, time out or show Stich eating the page, not once during my selections!
I talked to Andi and Kait about the selections beforehand.
Kait suffers from motion sickness on most rollercoaster and spinning type rides. We know which ones were fine last time and focused on those ones.
We arrive around 5pm on 9/5 and plan to spend time in DS this evening. Right now we have an ADR for Summer House at 8:15pm. I booked on open table so if I need to cancel it is easy peasy. We will be staying at AS Sports this night. It’s a preferred room and I requested Surf’s Up section on a higher floor. The next day we move to Boardwalk Inn. I requested a room on a higher floor with a peek a boo view of Epcot in a quiet area, fingers crossed we get our request. I won’t hold my breath! Bitter still from our terrible room at BC!
Here is the FP for cash (aka multi pass LL, lame name). I like my FP for cash name better!
9/6 DHS MMRR 9:55-10:55, ToT (just Andi and I) 12-1 and TSMM 1:15-2:15. Rise was $20.00 a person, too expensive!We decided to try rope dropping Rise for the first time ever!
9/7 AK FP for cash was relatively cheap today at $15 so I got it for PH later. Safari 8:30-9:30, Navi 9:30-10:30, and Dinosaur 10:30-11:30. I will probably buy a fancy ride for FOP for Andi and I, the cost is $14.00 a person.
We have Sanaa at 2pm.
9/8 MK, PotC 9:10-10:10, HM 10:10-11:10, and Tiana 11:10-12:10. We will skip Tron at $20 a person for a 70 second ride, Andi might try for a VQ for the 2 of us. We just don’t want to wait in the VQ line for an hour so we may not do it. We will RD PPF. Today is a MNSSHP day and we are hoping for low crowds during the day. No party this year for us, sad
We are dining tonight at II Mulino located at The Swan Resort. I’m really excited to try this one. I have read many wonderful reviews.
9/9 AK, Dinosaur 8-9, we will ride several times and don’t you wonderful readers worry, my TR will be an ode to all things Dinosaur
! Navi 9-10, Safari 10-11, we will PH and hopefully make use of more FP for cash selections! A hack I am thinking is a good one, buy all your FP for cash days at AK because it is the cheapest and PH to the other parks!
It is EMH at Epcot tonight and I bought a Fancy Ride for GotG for Andi and I at 8-9pm. I think GotG is way better than Tron and it is $14.00 a person! Relatively cheap for Disney!
9/10 MK Tiana 9:20-10:20, WtP 9:20-10:20, and HM 10:20-11:20. This is another party day, hoping my strategy holds true with lower crowds on party days. We will RD JC this day. Andi and Kait have date night tonight. I think I will go into DHS for a while and later, I want to try the new Blue Ribbon Corn Dog booth on the Boardwalk. Tonight maybe the night for the pickle corn dog!
9/11 Epcot. Remy 9-10, LWTL 10-11, SE 11-12. We want to try a few F&W booths today. We will RD Frozen, can you believe Andi will ride this because Kait enjoys it! Geesh I know how I rate, lol
She won’t ride with me because she got wet on the ride once!
We head to USO later today to start the terrifying portion of the trip! Horror nights! Cue scary
music 
My hot take on FP for cash, easy to book what you want 7 days out. SDD, RNRC, Remy, Frozen etc. all available when I looked. The tier thing is a little different than the old FP selections. MK/DHS have more in tier one than the old system. You can only pick one selection from Tier 1 to start but you can immediately book a Tier one right after you use your first selection so that helps.
Disney does not let you know when your booking day is. I just counted back and figured today was my day and it was. I did notice in the LL area on MDE it showed who was eligible and the date once I went in to it and looked around a little bit.
Our trip is one week from today! If all goes as planned we will be enjoying a drink and meal right about now in DS!
If anyone has questions about the process of booking the FP ahead of time let me know! I’m an expert now, lol
I plan to write a TR and it will be all things Dinosaur since this will likely be the last time we ride it! Cue the waterworks!
See ya real soon!
