I know some of us are getting ready to book FPs next week. What is everyone trying for?
I've been working on my list. Hubby's only request was Splash Mountain.
We have two days planned at MK right now so I hope to score:
7DMT. Splash, Big Thunder, Peter Pan (the other two I will take what I can with Pirates, Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion) I love roller coasters but don't like Space Mountain but if I happen onto one of those that works for us I might snag it. Hubby isn't a big thrill rider but will do them (except TOT) if I ask him to.
Epcot I really don't know what I want to score for our Tier 1 because we want to ride them all so I am working and researching to see which would be the best one to make. we will also do Spaceship Earth and possibly Mission Space.
Hollywood Studios:
SDD is top priority here. If I can't get it I may book Early Morning Magic since it's still available for now. If I can't get it on our HS day I do have our last day as a backup plan to get SDD or FOP, whichever I can't get on those designated days.
I can't ride RR, as it's a headache trigger for me. I'm short so my head basically just bangs back and forth on the shoulder restraints and so I skip it. I might make use TOT FPs and maybe I could get through it fast enough to use mine and hubby's (but with it running at half capacity during summer I don't know how quick I will be bale to get through). Of course we will want to do the other Toy story rides so that's why I am considering doing EMM so I don't have to try to get those later after using our other three FPs. Not sure what we will use our third FPs on. Still thinking about it.
Animal Kingdom:
FOP is top priority. Like I said I have an extra day I can use to score this or SDD if I don't get them on my days planned.
EE is another one we will want here as well as Safari. If we get everything on HS day and this forst AK day we may do a second day her just to get Na'vi River, Dinosaur and something else (another ride on EE possibly).
I'm still working on my list but that's a lot of them.
As of now, availability for early August is pretty good for most rides. I logged in at 7AM and our AK day is 60+2 and earliest FOP was around 2 pm. I believe SDD may have been unavailable on our Studios day- but, we choose to do EMM because we want to do it and not wait on a massive line. Besides those two rides, I found it so easy to get everything I had planned and so many choices with times that I was able to plan my day to the minute. So, just get online asap and have what you want planned out ahead of time and you should be okay. There is always time to tweek later on. All the rides at MK showed wide availability.
We got FP for:
AK- Safari, Kali and Primeval Twirl (we’re doing DAH later that day).
EPCOT- Soarin’ (Hubbie’s favorite ride there), Living with the Land (it was only thing we haven’t done recently that looked interesting), and Mission Space. We did the Frozen ride in February and don’t feel the need to FP or even ride it.
HWS- EMM in Toy Story Land and then FP on Star Tours, RnR, and the Indiana Jones Show. We’re not riding ToT.
MK day 1 (arrival day, just walking around a bit) Jungle Cruise, Pirates, and Big Thunder.
MK day 2 (EMM-fantasyland)- then Splash Mtn., Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder
MK day 3 (departure day- just a few hours) Buzz, Space, SDMT
I hope things don’t change much by next week, when you book. Hope you get your choices!!
I’m arriving July 29, so FP was this morning! So happy I got everything I wanted at the times I’d planned! Now I just need to resist the urge to tweak... for instance, I want to RD Soarin’. Is a PPO reservation really necessary?
I’m glad you had such great luck in your FP+ reservations! We arrive on 7/27 and I also had awesome success booking absolutely everything we wanted and more- in the time frames we hoped for.
But did have the magical extra card/voucher for free golf and admission to ESPN and other savings. I’m assuming they are all coming with that.
