Week After Turkey Day Shenanigans

[JamieOak]

I'm sure I'm not the earliest. I'm 9/28.

I'm November 26 and I'm dreading picking my Fastpasses. I finally got everything worked out with EMM, EMH, ADRs and MVMCP now i have to throw FP+ into mix? Eeek!

 

[Meeko5]

I check in on the 25th!

Honestly at this point I'm thinking of taking a piece of poster board, writing the name of every ride, attraction, show, etc we might possibly be interested on little post-it flags, and moving the pieces around til it fits. Like the seating chart for a wedding. *is insane*

Question for anyone...is there a good reason to get MVMCP hard tickets vs email?
Do the hard tickets look nice for souvenir value?

They look pretty generic (Mickey and Friends on them), but I get them to use to get in as well since we are not using a regular park ticket that day. (Did this with MNSSHP last year.)

I think it gets easier once you have a few trips under your belt. The list of absolute must dos is shorter, so I feel ok with making a general plan it being somewhat flexible too.

Of course, my somewhat-flexible, being a type A sort, is probably someone else's too-much-plan!

Or you can subscribe to touring plans and do it without all the writing

I 2nd that suggestion. With the amount of times I move things around, the post-it notes would lose their stickiness! I originally only purchased the TP subscription for the Lines app, without even knowing what it could do with touring plans. Totally worth it.

 

[Meeko5]

and with the code UMBRELLA you get 20% off, making it only like $10. Well worth it for all the resources

Buuuut I just remembered my tickets are linked to my package that starts the 26th. I have a RO on the 25th. Does that mean I can't book FP until 60 days from my stay with tickets? Hmmm.

I think if you're onsite, you can start making FPs for your RO check in date??

EDIT: WAIT! That's not right.. if the tickets are part of the package, then I think you need to wait until the 26th.

Nope. You make Fastpasses 60 days before your package date. If you had tickets that weren't part of a package then you could start making Fastpasses 60 days before you check into your first resort. We also have a room only and we check in on 11/26, but our package begins on 11/28 so we can make fastpasses 60 days before 11/28 which is 9/29.

Dang, I thought that was the case but haven't done a split stay before. LAME SAUCE.

Yup, that's what I remembered after. I have a room stay and a ticket-less package, then linked tickets. So I could make FP right on my first room stay. Didn't think about the ticket being attached to the package. Sorry for the confusion @Meeko5

I'm already subscribed actually! But my brain has trouble making plans that way, so that'll be step 2.

We check in the 25th but it's room only.....

 

[heath92681]

Definitely thinking tot or star tours at DHS. We are winging AK, so no FP there. The tough choices are at MK...

 

[kellyjeanie]

There were a bunch of external battery packs at my Walgreens half-off, if anyone is in the market. .

We check in on the 26th so our FP day should be the 27th. I have my spreadsheet all made out. This is my first time with 60 FP so I hope I do this right. I didn't do TP, I figured with a group of 13 it will be hard to stick with a strict schedule. I will be super disappointed if I can't get a FEA FP for the girls. So nervous about doing FP!

That is our day, too. It is coming so fast!
