Congrat's....so awesome!I did my FP's yesterday at 60 days. I got FOP for two different days. I was on at 7:00am. I wanted morning for one of them (a Monday morning in August) and could only get 2:55 at the earliest.But I got them! We are going to try to try in as standby in the am....it's an emh day, so we'll be there early. We're hoping to do FOP first and then Navi River.
Thank you for the update...I was getting worried there for a minute. A reminder is great, as long as I can still book the FP...then I would have to change the reservation, right? So it will let me book the FP?
Yes, it doesn't stop you. The only thing it doesn't let you do is book 2 FP or 2 ADR that overlap. But you can overlap FP and ADR all you want. There are plenty of times where that works just fine too. Especially since FP are good for 60+ min. There are plenty of times where you can have a FP start and then have an ADR 30 min later and make both without any problems. MDE will alert you that you are doing it but it doesn't mean it won't work.
I just booked our FPs recently and initially set 2 FoP and one NRJ. After reviewing the wait time data I'd collected (
FWIW, this last week the wait times for NRJ posted were reasonable. However in my experience and talking with others in the line we all waited quite a bit longer than the posted time. That could have been a fluke, but it did seem that the wait times for NRJ were underestimated while the FOP waits were overestimated. NRJ is a pretty ride but I can see waiting until the hype dies down. I wouldn't wait more than 20-30 minutes for it.
Do you happen to have the Lines app? Wonder if you've looked at it and compared their wait times with what your experience was
I looked at the posted waits on the signs and compared it to our actual waits. I talked to several guests while in lines across the park and it was a topic that came up often and we seemed to have similar stories of waiting longer than posted times at NRJ than FoP. I don't use an app other than mde, are there any that are really accurate?
There is another app, Lines (Touring Plans) that uses data provided by users along with Disney's wait times, to give (supposedly) a more accurate wait time for rides. It usually gives a different times that is shown on the signs in the parks. The app shows you both
Thanks for the heads up on that. I will have to check it out!
It was December 2016. I had an ADR at The Wave which is very close to the MK. I wanted a FP for something, I think it was Big Thunder, but it doesn't really matter which. I could see the time available, but when I went to book it I got a message saying I couldn't book that because I had another thing booked. I remember thinking that not only is the FP window a whole hour long leaving plenty of time to get to The Wave, but I could have used the FP late in the window and still would have had plenty of time to walk over to the Contemporary.
Had to be something else going on. I've done it plenty of times, including last year. You probably got caught by the glitch bug that everyone gets at some point or another. But it's not the norm for certain.
That's good to hear. I was tempted to complain at Guest Relations, but didn't bother since a different FP showed up for an earlier window that I could book.
I wasn't making an argument AGAINST doing FoP standby once -- we still plan to do that. The question was just about how to distribute 3 FP between the two rides.
Thanks! No, I'm just going to stick with my River ride fast pass and do flight of passage at rope drop. I think by getting there an hour and 15 minutes before the official opening time, the wait won't be too long. But I know that with your feet issues that might not work for you. Whatever you do, I hope it works out. Pixie dust to you on getting a FP.
