Another question about FP +. I can book my reservations tomorrow. Do I just go to MDE to do it? And it will all be ready for me to pick?

Yes! Just go to fast pass and it should show you a calendar and you pick your dates. I did my all from my iPhone. Super easy. And then you can swap times around on ones after you confirm times/days.

Added you!

I did one in the morning and two in the early evening. I figure if I can get back to the park earlier after naps, I can change the evening ones. We'll see how it goes!

I scheduled my fast passes this morning! It wasn't hard but time consuming. I still don't know if I'm pleased with my decisions, lol. With little ones who may or may not nap it was hard for me to figure out what to do.

Will this work? One of mine is under 40"; so I got 2 fast passes for soarin' - dd and dh will use the fast pass (we will get rider swap) and then I can ride sprain' with dd. we won't need a fast pass the second time will we!

When we went with the old system, they told us that my oldest had to have a FP as well as the rideswap card for Soarin' (because we had the same problem- one kid was too short). I'm not sure if it works the the same with the FP+ but I would assume it would. I remember we had this problem because we didn't get a FP for my oldest right away, but mentioned something to a CM about when/how to get the rideswap for her and he told us that she had to get a FP as well and he took her KTTW card from us and got one so we didn't have to stand in line again.

Yes she should be able to ride the 2nd time

As long as she had 1 fastpass she should've been able to ride twice.

Ok, 47 days to go!! I can feel it getting closer...just bought new flip flops, a pair of shorts, a sun dress and a pair of linen pants for the trip.

That's what I thought, but when we asked he castmember about how it would work, he said Cortlyn had to have a FP to ride with us even if we had the Rideswap for her. Otherwise, we would have had to do the rideswap through the standby line. Maybe it was because she was riding it with both of us? Because she rode with me the first time and had to have her fastpass and then when she rode with Corey the second time she used the rideswap pass?

Would I be crazy to not book FP's?? In general, are there still decent times left if I book the day of?

My plan is to book just in case. I figure it's better to have than not.

 

[Cinderella's slipper]

Suitcases are down from the closet!!!!

I know the feeling and the girls I am going with had quite the chuckle when I packed my swimsuits and accessories. We don't need these here in Vermont right now. Happy Planning!!

 

[Cinderella's slipper]

Hi Cinderella's Slipper!
This will be our third time staying at POFQ. I'm sooooo excited, because it's honestly one of my favorite resorts!!! Plus, it will just be me and my husband, alone for 7 days, no kids!!! Yay! We took them for 5 nights in July.

Sending you a little more for an extra special trip. I love adults only trips and as parents the best thing we can do for our family, is take good care of our marriage. Enjoy!!

 

[Cinderella's slipper]

Our ADR's are: BOG, Artist Point, California Grill, Narcoossees (this is my favorite), Brown Derby, Sci Fi Diner, Yak and Yeti, LTT, Via Napoli, San Angel Inn, Le Cellier, Olivia's and Captain's Grill.
Yachtsman, Kona and T-Rex are AWESOME!!!!! My husband and I had our anniversary dinner at Kona 2 years ago. This past year we celebrated our anniversay at Tutto Italia.

Hi Jenny, what's your favorite thing from Artists Point? We tried it last October and I didn't come away love it. Maybe it was the night or just my palate.

the old system never worked that way for me. The rider swap let you into the fast pass line regardless of if you waited in standby or regular the first time. The cm you dealt with must have been confused. Otherwise it defeated the whole purpose of rider swap.

Good idea. As a compromise, I may book our "must" for each day then wing it. Thanks!

 

[auprincess]

I can't believe I am finally only 60 days away. But I'll tell you this fastpass + has just put a damper in my spirits. I'm sure all will be fine, ahhhh! Just so confused. I ended up making three FP reservations for our resort day as well. For later in the afternoon - bc I'm so worried about only having three fastpasses! If we use them, great, if not I will cancel. I just figure we will be heading to Ohana for dinner anyway, and after being at the resort all day we might want to get out a bit. By now I'm usually planning outfits for my kids - haha! I. We'd to get busy!

Fastpass + took a couple of hours to get things set up 'just right'.
