First obviously I want to say = rest in peace, Robin Williams. Such a talented man, and such a good reminder to be very kind to everyone you meet, because we're all facing a hard battle.
Ok, so my FP+ 60 day window opened recently for my onsite stay, and for fun I decided to try setting up FP+ for my mom and I. What could it hurt? And WHAT DO YOU KNOW?! IT LET ME!!
Our offsite trip isn't supposed to show up until 30 days ahead of time, but it let me add both my mom and I to FP+ for the days leading up to my onsite stay.
At best, we keep these FP+; at worst, they see what happened and strip us of them 30 days out (which would be sad, but I know it may happen).
So here's the FP+ for my trip!
1) Arrival Day: MK: PP at 4 p.m., HM at 5 p.m., BTMRR at 6 p.m. This is a
MNSSHP night that we are not attending, so we need to be out by 7 p.m. I think we will make it in time to hit PP! I am trying to get 7DMT here, but that will be VERY unlikely with our abbreviated time availability. After this we're going to DTD to SHOP.
2) We're going to Epcot in the morning and don't have to ride Soarin', so I didn't make Epcot FP+. Instead, I made HS FP+ for that night. We have Muppet Vision (a favorite), then TSMM, and TOT rounding out the night! We will probably queue for TOT a few times.
3) The next day is our Ultimate Tour, so we will be doing FP+ at Epcot that night (which is the park we don't visit during the tour). I have JII first, then SE, and Soarin at night. We MIGHT stay for Illuminations, but probably not because....
4) Day 4 is US/IOA day! We have the express pass here - the one that doesn't have limits to use and we can use it over and over if we want. Early morning; Mom will be driving since we'll be on the highway!
5) Day 5 is our MNSSHP day! I did get a 7DMT on this day (we'll also be riding it on the tour), plus HM and BTMRR. These are the rides we really want to do; others will be ridden as time allows between the shows and fireworks and parade. Whoo hoo!
6) Day 6 is what I call snoozer's choice. We are going to sleep in and decide when we get up. I may make a DTD reservation this night, just in case we go, but I think Friday night would be pretty crazy at DTD. We'd cab it regardless. We might need the relaxation. But we'll decide when the day comes.
7) We are either doing AK or HS this morning - we'll decide later. We'll open there, so I didn't make FP+. Another reason I didn't make FP+ is because we are doing 1900 PF at 4:40 that night and are going to go to MK that night afterwards (going to valet at GF and then take the monorail over!!) so I wanted to make sure that on a busy Saturday night we'd get a few favorites in. We got HM, SM, and BTMRR in place for this night after 1900 PF, starting at a 6:10 window - that should be plenty of time, right?
8) Day 8 is the day my mom leaves. We have no plans on this day either - pack up and check me into my hotel, and maybe mom and I will go swimming at Pop, or to DTD, or to a park... if we go to a park, it will probably be MK or HS.
9) First solo day. I have plans for whatever park in the morning (possibly AK, since it will be undervisited the week before) and then Epcot at night. Another Illuminations, this time with a beverage since I won't be driving! (My mom can't drive at night.)
10) Second solo day - this one is up in the air in the morning (I will probably be parked out by this time, so I may hang out and swim at the resort), but my FP+ are set for MK at night since it's open later. I will catch BTMRR, PP, and rounding out with a nighttime ride on 7DMT!!
11) Final day and checkout. I have no idea at this point. I will sleep in and set my FP+ from my phone before heading to a park - probably not MK or Epcot, since I'll be there a ton. HS seems likely. My plane doesn't leave until late in the day, so I'll be hanging out at a park until around 2 p.m., at which time I'll head over to pick up ME!
So those are my plans! I'm still trying to adjust our time for 7DMT on our MNSSHP night, and searching for a FP+ for 7DMT for our first night (we might just get in line at 6:55 and wait 'er out; we're anxious to try it, but it might be cool to ride it on the tour for the first time!).
I hope I'm doing the right thing by scheduling so many FP+ at night. I know it means we can't get more, but it seems to fit in better with our schedule, and I don't want to miss out on FP+ I want because we're in another park in the morning.
Wow, looking at this all typed out -- WHAT A TRIP. Can't wait!
But we've always said we wanted to eat there, so we're GOING TO.
