TSM standby-less test Oct. 6-9

[mom2mickeyfan]

See thats what I don't get-did they just go too late in the day? I mean you just got them yourself for just a couple hours away-weird.

Maybe because I saw reported that on the first 2 days that a sign was put out around 1 or 2 in the afternoon that said that the ride had reached capacity for the day.

Or this post from PPs

One of our booked FP for one of our dhs days was Fantasmic, so I didn't want to release all my FP to chase TSMM all morning

or

And for those that had pre-selected a F! fp+ at their 60 day mark, the ride is essentially out of service for them too. They're not eligible for additional FP+ and can now no longer ride SB.

or

FYI, the signs cast members are holding have been changed from notification that there is an fp+ test today to notification that ride capacity has been reached.

or

We just used our 3rd fp at ToT. Unsurprisingly, even on an fp+ only day, there were no more tsmm available as of 3pm.

or

We were there, and we talked to a family at about 10:30 this morning who had been told by the iPad people there was no availability when they tried to schedule one. Others report getting them much later.

or

.I too was told there were no experiences as early as 11:55, but backed out of the selection screen and went back in a couple times and got my selections. As I previously stated, new FP we're being added throughout the day, at least on the hour, if not more.

Someone posted yesterday that they released some every hour of the day. So you could show up, be told you can't wait in line, check for a FP and come up empty, and leave the park. All without knowing you might have been able to get one 30 minutes later.

Gotcha, still seems a CM could "mention" they are doing this if you want to keep checking on occasion. Maybe they were told not to say anything.

Spit it out would ya

Yea they are definitely giving mixed signals on this thing.

Take a look at the comments before and after Lake's FB comment from people who are actually there at the parks. I didn't see any that weren't very happy. I'm sure there are a few unhappy comments here and there I didn't see, but I think this shows how things are. A few people are upset but practically everyone else is perfectly fine.

Yeah, we shouldn't worry about those few that are upset.

And those who got screwed over the deal should be happy to take one for the team.

True, but this is akin to you headed over to the resort pool with your kids, then when you get to the pool, you are told that you can't use it today, because they were running a reservation only test, and all the reservatoins have been given out for the day.

And then they direct you to one of the other 23 pools you can use instead. This actually happens sometimes when a resort pool is being used for a private party.

Yeah, we shouldn't worry about those few that are upset.

We can be interested and concerned about those who are upset without their being upset mean that Disney is stupid or evil.

Hey, I worked hard to find all those quote!

With a thread this long it is too easy to miss things. I can't seem to turn away. Kind of like watching a train wreck!

FP+ line currently snaked all the way back to the etch-a-sketch. Will report back on wait time once we're off the ride.

One other note. Is 150 minute wait for RNR normal for this time of year? I've never seen it that high and figure it's likely spiked due to the TSMM test.

Or the daily required "mechanical issue".

Don't know if this means anything scary, but wanted to share something odd from today at MK. We were in the FP line for SDMT, and the CM Asked us if we would be here next week. When we told him yes, for the first part of it, he handed us a small stack of rider switch passes for SDMT and said, "you might need these." Hope that doesn't mean it's coming here next.

Have no idea what else it could mean.

 

[glamdring269]

Took right at 20 to get through the line so in and out around 26-27 minutes. Was able to secure another for tsmm at 445pm but will likely let it go. Need to head towards Epcot around then for Fuel!

Well folks, if you're heading there next week, there's your warning.

Now you can't say Disney didn't give you notice!

And IF it does happen, can't say the tsmm test was about a 3rd track anymore.

Wow thanks so much for thinking of us.

Doesn't sound too bad since you were at MK this am, and have secured 2 TSM FP+'s since.

I remember that video from last OCT when the FP's where gone by noon for TSM, but maybe everybody skipped DHS today.

Yeah, but at that time you still had the option to ride sb if it was super important to you. Now when they are gone, you are out of luck and there is NOTHING you can do to ride that day.

Wasn't that pre-debunked when FP+ only was previously tried at A&E and Soarin'?

It is and at that point I would expect some sort of offer to switch to another pool. It would be a pia, I'd be irked, but I'd put it in the **** happens category and move on.

If this got to be a pattern, constantly not able to ride rides or use amenities at the resort every trip in multiple locations, then that's a different story. But it's not.

I would share this in its own thread so others there next week could have at least a little heads up just in case it does.mean.another test is.coming.

Yea true, I still wonder if they could have moved the time up from 4:45-seems like others have been able to. Then can they try for a 3rd, or even after 4:45 DD could have gotten yesterday.
