Any advice on what to do with the character spot (we only want to meet Mickey), now that it’s no longer a FP option? TP is predicting quite long waits all day Meet Disney Pals at Epcot | EPCOT unless we go first thing in the morning or at the end of the night (we don’t plan on being there at either of those times).
My question is- are these wait times based on there also being FPs available? So if there are no FPs available, the waits should be lower? I’m a bit confused whether TP has taken that into account yet or not.
The next set of updates to TP is coming 10/03/19. I’d wait & see how that update adjusts CL / waits. TP didn’t get good data during the last week of Aug / first 10 days of Sept because of the irregularities of SWGE opening / EEMH / Hurricane Dorian. So, they are behind in their work . They are trying to get up-to-date data and putting it all in the next update
One advice for Character spots is to get a “Chase Disney Visa.”
The points/rewards suck, but pay for your trip with the card and get 6 months no interest.
More importantly to this discussion … Chase Disney Character Spots in Epcot and HS … for people who show the card only. At Epcot, the characters change, so no guarantee that it will be Mickey. May need to stop in a few times … but NO WAITING. Our first stop was Mickey and Goofy. 2nd time in (next day) was Minnie and Pluto. A photopass photographer is there.
At HS, Chase Character spot is Darth Vader, no waiting. Still in Launch Bay with the others. In our visit we got a stern lecture from Vadar how “helping The Resistance could be detrimental for us.” It was cool.
I probably shouldn’t have used the word “just” - I should have omitted that word. I was trying to say the discount is good for the group VIP tours, like “Ultimate”.
It was about 5 minutes before I left work for the day. I was sloppy with my syntax, (Plus, I’m from TN - so it’s my southern accent written out!)
