My Fastpass+ day is coming up next week, 60 days ahead of our trip in March (2 adults/1 child).
I have looked ahead at the tools and believe it looks like all rides should be available when I book.
Have 6 days and planning 2 for AK, 1 for MK, 2 for HS and 1 for Epcot. Not planning park hopper.
My fam will likely want to do most by fastpass+ as we hate lines and I'm not sure how close to rope drop we will get tho we will try (For sure we will be in early for HS days for ROTR BG lottery).
I did some trial runs where I pretended to book on what was avail on touring blog (knowing it might not be exactly the same). Here are my concerns/questions, mainly about fastpasses
1) AK - was planning FP+on FOP one day and NRJ the second day. Have started to wonder if I should do FOP twice instead and try to rope drop NRJ second day (arriving afternoon first day so no rope drop that time). My concern is my family might love FOP and then when we do NRJ they might say they liked it but it was no FOP (and hence my idea to FOP twice). I was thinking lines for NRJ will be shorter in the morning. Is there anyone out there who regretted a FP+ for NRJ and wished they'd FOP'd twice?
2) HS - Choosing 2 of MFSR, MMRR, and SDD for tier 1 FP+ on my two days. Expecting HS to be slammed in morn and our wait time tolerance maxes at around an hour so might not be able to get any of these at RD. My son loves star wars, so feel MFSR is a must. SDD has long lines and looks great. But I want the shiny new toy as well! The reviews and high loading capacity of MMRR have me leaning towards a FP+ for MFSR and SDD and just hoping on MMRR. I know that you can get lowish lines on MFSR later in day, but worried my fam will fade after the early start. Any thoughts?
3) AK - with 4 tier 2 slots, gonna plan everest twice, then safari once and debating whether to do safari a second time or do DINO. Some indicate easy to get DINO FP+ day of. Safari twice idea was the animals might not be out one or the times. I was planning 5pm for first safari run... I guessing that is not "dusk" in florida?
4) MK - what is hardest to get same day FP+ for ?
5) Epcot - This park looks the most skippable due to construction and lowish number of rides. But will go and do test track. How hard is it to get 4th - same day fastpass to soaring? Do the tier 2 decisions really matter (ie, it seems you can get those ones pretty easily). Anyone out there who feel epcot is skippable?
Thanks for any help you can provide!!!
