Will I need a FP+ for Jungle Cruise at 8pm?

[lacy1101]

Working on touring plan for our arrival day in November. I would like to do Jungle (or it may be Jingle by then) Cruise at night right before CTM and Wishes. Do you think I will need a FP+?

Ehhh, kinda iffy. My inclination would be no, as usually the line is getting shorter by then. But don't be surprised if it's still long, as I've seen it pretty long in the evening. Wish I had a more solid answer, but my experience is that it's a 50/50 proposition.

When are you going and what day of the week is it?

Wonder what the possibilities would be of getting it as a 4th FP+? Think availability would be slim at that point (would probably be trying for it around 2-3pm?

That is one of a limited number of days that week the MK does not close early for MVMCP or the private event (on the 18th). I think it's possible you might find it to be busier than you expect. Whether that means a long standby line or not, I can't say.

We were there on a busy summer day last year and found this for the FP return line when we got there around that same time of night:

Oh wow! Seems like I have always noticed the lines for this attraction can get quite lengthy, but wasn't sure if later in the evening would make a difference. Of course, I realize this line was in summer as opposed to November, but I think I'm just a little afraid to chance it without a FP+. As I posted earlier, I am curious whether there would be availability for a 4th FP+ if I tried to get it around 2-3pm that afternoon. Any thoughts on that?

That line didn't do too terribly. Keep in mind that FP gets prioritized over standby so they cleared it fairly quickly. Definitely not what I expected to find with a FP though.

We got that as a same day fastpass around 11 AM on a very busy summer day. Not sure if that helps, but that's all I've got.

I have been checking on the app for wait times recently and it seems like it is always aorund 35 minutes even close to closing. I'd book a FP+ for it if it is important. it is also one of the ones sold out earlier than some others - not earlier than the mountains but earlier than things like HM, Pirates, and fantasyland rides that are NOT 7DMT, peter pan and pooh.

Considering BTMRR will still be in refurb on that date, there's probably a good chance FP+ may go quicker than usual for JC. Think I'll stick with my plan to get one . . . thanks!

Do you think I will need a FP+?

Yes. Yes you will.

 

[lacy1101]

Yes. Yes you will.

Thanks, Robo!

Chances are pretty good that there will still be FP available late afternoon for that evening. MK has an abundance of FP compared to the other parks. I am often making FP #6 and #7 well after dark at MK
