You can practice on the Disneyland app. Same exact process and they open when you are awake(hopefully :))

If you’re going the last week of August you should be fine no matter the calendar predictions. Plan your FP with the hardest to get at the end of your trip. So if you really want FOP then put AK on your last day. Likewise if you would rather get SDD put HS last. The differences between a 5 and 7...

Crowded but not miserable. Don’t change days based on calendars. While they may get it right sometimes, it’s not guaranteed. Go in with a good plan and get the right fastpasses and you’ll be set. Especially at AK. If you get FOP, Everest and Safari most everything else can be gotten as a 4 or...

You can only book fastpasses for 1 park initially. So say you wanted to go to Epcot and HS. You can only book fastpasses at only one of the 2 Parks initially. For example, you could get a tier 1 and 2 tier 2s at Epcot and use them. Then you could grab a tier 1 at HS(maybe hard to get day of) as...

Since a lot of folks are discussing app strategy I posted this yesterday but wanted to post again. It’s a method that has worked twice for me. Just wanted to share my strategy for getting in one of the first 8 BG on 2 different occasions this month. Feb 4th I got BG 10 and today I was logged...

Agree morning is best. What time are all of your fastpasses? You could try to modify the one you have to morning if your others aren’t already in the morning time frame.

Do you have a FP for it already on the 4th? Will they be on scooters to get around? I probably wouldn’t change days around. Especially looking at the other days, they aren’t much cooler.

There is a video in this post that shows the screens and how to refresh after you have already made fastpass selections. Under tip #2. https://firsttimedis.com/fastpass/

My mom was a late addition(20 days out late) to our trip last month. We of course had our days well planned out. I was able to get her FP for everyone of our rides during our times by refreshing over those 3 weeks. Including SDD, SDMT and FOP. Most rides were able to be booked as soon as she...

Just wanted to share my strategy for getting in one of the first 8 BG on 2 different occasions this month. Feb 4th I got BG 10 and today I was logged into a friends account that was in Hs and got 18. Weird that both days were exactly 8 from the first BG of the day but they were. Anyway for my...

I think the answer depends on how many times you’ve been and if you really want to plan and how much you want to get done. I’ve never made a spreadsheet, but do make a general itinerary in a word document. Just so we know which days we will be where and what time FP and ADRs are But it really...

We are the same way. I’m the planner for our family and it’s like a game to me. We took my mom for her first time in 25 years in February. Her comment was “I’m not coming back unless it is with you. All I have to do is follow you around and not worry about a thing” She also understands the...

Yep. And you can even eat QS kids meals for basically what you pay for at McDonalds or other fast food places. Sure it’s less selection, and probably not “right” for an adult to eat kids meals but we do it all the time and get full on it. Our saying is everyone is a kid at Disney.

You know you plan too much when your spontaneous trips get planned. We decided to drive to the beach one day(5hour drive from home) and decided why not just drive a few more hours and be at WDW. Booked reservations and tickets on the phone half way and then started booking FP and dining on the...

Absolutely! Did this on our trip a couple weeks ago. Found a table and rested while we passed the phone around for everyone to order. Placed the order and immediately told the app we had arrived. Sure it probably took 10-15 min to get our food, but we were resting our feet and enjoying each...

Thanks just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing it as I refreshed. They got them a couple days ago and all that were left were tier 2s of course. They got TSM and RnR and wanted to keep those two. So ST was the one they were willing to part with if I could find them SDD.

Just checking since I’ve luckily always been able to get SDD FP. Now I’m trying to help a friend look for one since they booked a last minute trip in 3 weeks. When I try to change their ST FP and refresh through the times will SDD pop to the top as a tier 1 FP like Epcot does? Or do I need to...

Thanks to you both. I figured the worst they could say is no. No hurt in asking. Just wanting to look at regular rooms and not DVC. While DVC is nice, it’s not in the picture for us.

For our next trip this summer we are wanting to take a couple extra days and tour different resorts we have never stayed at to get ideas of where we might like to stay in the future. Is there a way to ask for a room tour? Do they even do that? I know I can see pics on the website, but there is...

I see it a couple of ways. First crowd levels are lower on party days. So if you get there at RD you should be able to get most everything done. Especially with a good FP strategy. Even though TP isn’t 100% accurate, I don’t know if there have been many times at all where they predicted a 1 and...
