TT FP- Can you design a car or is this bypassed with a FP?

[suedisney]

Sorry I have so many questions, just for a Disney vet, I'm stressing about getting the trip right. We are taking our daughters two bfs for first time and one of them is a first timer and other hasn't been since he was a kid, so basically a first timer. Just trying to plan a trip to remember. We probs won't be back til after a wedding or two lol

You get to "design a car"when using FP.

robo, I knew you'd have the answer. Thanks so much!

I think the only time you bypass the car design is if you go through the single rider line (at least that was the case for us in May).

And in SR, you're normally given the option to choose among 32 premade designs.

Side question...what if you don't WANT to "design" a car? Do you still have to wait behind the people you were behind? Or can you go ahead?

Oh, I hope that's the case.

I care less than nothing about "designing" a car.

I have been to WDW several times but have not ridden TT yet. What does designing a car do? Does the experience change or depending on the options you select? It's not like they can give you a ride vehicle that you just designed but if you design a car with more hp in the engine does the ride go faster or something like that?

It scores your design for power, economy, etc based on your design choices. There is no practical effect.

No, you are loaded into the design room, and every one is assigned to a computer. At the end of the alloted time, the doors open and you are let into the loading line. The doors are closed during that time, so you have to wait either way.

The single rider line still has the option to design a car but that is basically something to keep the kids entertained with while in line. The car design has no effect on the actual ride experience other than one member of each car "wins".

You can pick a car, you cannot design a car.

Same.

It does nothing. If everyone in your car is a single rider (unlikely, but there were 3 in the car I was in, including me) then everyone has had a chance to design from the given choices. It does nothing. There's a thing at the end (another way to pull you out of other lines) that you can participate in to see how "your" car did, but it still means nothing.

Either I didn't notice doors were closed or it's changed since the last time I did it (not hugely long after the new TT opened). DS and I were both in the SR line and he wanted to participate, so I stood there, very bored, and wondering if I needed to wait...

Gotta tell you though, even the feeling of moving forward is good for me, so just moving up and standing there at closed doors would have been better than standing at a computer (by "assigned" do you mean "pointed towards?") doing nothing...

Then again, the likelihood of me going on that ride again is very very low. So it doesn't really matter.

SR is different. Those machines are just in the walkway of the line, and you can skip those and go past people if you don't want to pick a car. For the FP line though, you merge with the regular line and you are led into the design room in groups.
