So, I just booked our FPs for our December trip, and the experience was not too bad.
We are doing AK the first day, so I knew that getting a Flight of Passage FP would be rough. Surprisingly (or not), there were some late evening FPs available for FOP. But, the times conflict with ROL, which we want to do as it is our first time to AK. So, I had to pass on those FPs and take an early River Journey one. Luckily, we have a PPO breakfast at Tusker House, so I am hoping we can get in line for FOP right after breakfast at 9am and then head over to River Journey for our FP between 10 and 11.
MK is our second day, and there were plenty of FPs available for all rides, except for 7DMT, which only had afternoon and evening (I took the afternoon one), and then within minutes, they were gone. Luckily, again, we have PPO at BOG, so hopefully we can ride 7DMT early, and I can ditch the 7DMT in the afternoon for something else. We are not a family that continuously rides over and over.
Finally, Epcot is our third day, and all of the FPs were available. So, that was smooth sailing. And, again, we are lucky enough to have a PPO at GG for Candle Light show.
Overall, the system was good. It was tense, just like booking ADRs. Now, I have to brood over whether to change anything, which is just as stressful because I begin to second-guess myself. Oh well. The joys of a Disney vacation.
