Trying to figure out which fast pass...

[Kelly014]

Hi all! Tomorrow night we make our fast pass selections so I am trying to get them nailed down. Here is my plan so far (with one question on our MK day), please let me know how it looks. We have a five year old daughter and a (at time of travel) nine month old son so that has influenced some of our choices.

Arrival night:

no park

Thursday 10/29:

Hollywood Studio in the morning -
FP 1: Star Tours (we are not interested in ToT or RnR)
FP2: TSMM

MHSSHP in the afternoon (4 PM) -
FP 3: Enchanted Tales with Belle (choosing this as DD is going to the party dressed as Belle and DS is going as Gaston)

Friday 10/30:

Animal Kingdom day -
FP 1: Expedition Everest
FP2: Kali River Rapids
FP3: Kilimanjaro Safaris

Saturday 10/31:

Magic Kingdom day -
FP 1: SDMT
FP 2: Anna and Elsa
FP 3: ...here is where I am stuck. A big part of the reason we're doing MNSSHP is to ride some of the rides with shorter waits (we don't plan on doing any meet and greets), so I can't decide what to make this FP for, because I'm not sure what all we will get done during MNSSHP. Any thoughts? DD is tall enough for all the rides at MK (we'll be using rider swap when needed). DD will for sure want to meet Ariel at her grotto, but is that a "waste" of a FP? Would one of the mountains be better?

Sunday 11/1:

EPCOT day -
FP 1: Test Track
FP 2: Mission: Space
FP 3: Spaceship Earth


Thanks in advance

On 10/29, you cannot schedule your first two in HS and then your 3rd in MK. Has to be the same park.

And how about Peter Pan for the one you're stuck on for 10/31. That ride always has long waits.

Whoopsie. So with that in mind here's another question. We are mostly going to HS for Star Wars as DD can't ride RnR and probably won't want to ride ToT. I know TSMM generally has a huge wait so we might just skip it. Questions: Should we just skip FP there and do stand by? We can rider swap so the second adult and DD could get on quickly for Star Tours at least. How crazy does Star Tours get? We'd be happy to ride it multiple times sine the storyline changes. Then we could do our 3 FP at MK.

Or we could do 3 FP at HS and wait standby for Belle? Back to the drawing board...

1. How crazy does Star Tours get?

1. It usually doesn't have long lines.
2. Quite possible.
3. You could.

I wouldn't skip TSMM. That's a good ride for the little ones and there's not much to ride in that park for them. I would get a FP+ for it.

I don't think you will need a FP+ for Belle.

With the age of your daughter, I think I would use the 3rd FP at Frozen Sing-Along on your HS day. I would try and to Enchanted Tales Stand by. Someone else may be able to offer better odds about stand by lines for ETWB, but I think you'll be fine.

My bigger concern for you is actually the availability of A & E and 7dMT fast passes on Halloween. There is a MNSSHP that night, right? If so, it really limits the amount of available FP and it seems like those two are very, very hard to come by. You may have to Rope Drop one, but getting them both done at rope drop will be tough because those are the two things people make a beeline for as soon as they can. Good luck!!

I just looked up projected wait times on touring plans for Belle on 10/29. At 4pm its projected at 22 minutes.


I can check Star Tours. Hang on. Ok, it's projected as low as 3 minutes and as high as 16 minutes.

We did them both with DD last year so if we can't snag them it won't be a huge deal. That's just my best case scenario!

Well that helps! 22 minutes wouldn't be a big deal at all for ETWB. Star Tours at 3 minutes would make DHs day.
