F&G and Coronado Springs! A Live (ish) Solo Trip Report

[OBNurseNH]

It does not make me sad that people think of me when they think of that magnificent tree.

It’s amazing the things that connect people. In another thread someone mentioned the cranes of WDW and how I pointed them out in a humorous fashion. It became a joke around here and I honest to God think of the people here whenever - and wherever - I see cranes. And I’ve never met most of you.

Pishaw to those who say online friendships cannot be made and are not real. Some of the best people in my life I only know because of forums like this

And with that deep thought, I wish you goodnight!

crisp and clean

I got lucky and the vehicle stopped for about two seconds so I could get a clear shot!

Oh wow, I need to pay more attention to who people are actually replying to!

These resort pics are amazing!

Of all the parks to have an anytime FP, this is my least favorite because you can’t use it on either Star Wars ride

That’s weird - in Nov we got anytime FPs when MMRR went down, and we were able to use it on MFSR (the CMs even said “any ride except ROTR”).

Even better though was when we practically walked on MFSR twice before a line even formed, on our 2nd HS day (after RD-ing SDD).

You can use a MMRR pass on MFSR cause they’re the same tier, but you can’t use a TSMM pass on one of the higher tier rides.

Yeah, figured that based on your posting history it was either going to be “swoon” or “heart stopped” or something to that effect

@OBNurseNH

Indeed. How about this - on @bebe80’s trip report, it made me think he was married to Lisa Loeb - because I had just gone through the SongExploder link that @cousin_maude posted (on @Randall1028’s trip report, which you helped derail with the insight about Semisonic’s Closing Time), from which I then clicked to Jewel’s SongExploder episode, which had a link to her music video on YouTube, which then showed a picture of Lisa Loeb in the “Related Videos” section.

Interesting, did not know that. This was our first trip, so we’ve never actually had any real experience with FPPs.

Sounds like it could potentially get quite messy if you have a mix of anytime FPPs, Rider Swaps etc. (e.g. found the thread below via search)

Anytime FPP

Just reading a trip report and thinking about a scenario with anytime FPP that maybe someone knows the answer to. What happens if you have 2 anytime fpp, one good for any ride and one that excludes top tier? I think at MK they usually exclude 7dmt unless that was the ride that was down and converted to anytime. When you go on a ride, will the restricted one automatically get used first? I would hate to accidentally use a 7dmt fpp for WtP.

Your ride pics were great too

A few more Riviera pics that got missed yesterday to start off the morning:

Saved my favorite park for last… And it’s a beautiful morning!

[ChooseJoy]

Tapped into AK at 7:25am but I’m a slow walker and kept stopping to take brief breaks because my old ankle injury decided that this was a good morning to remind me of its existence. So it took me almost 20 minutes to get to the end of the FOP line.

So, this was the end of the line for FOP at 7:43. Across the water from Nomad, just before crossing under the bridge on the path to Africa. TP predicted wait was 30 minutes at this point. By the time I reached the FP taps, the posted wait was 105 minutes. Actual wait was 50 minutes for me, which is better than I was expecting with how slow I was getting to Pandora!

Good grief! Between you, @Dreamer and @DumboRunner i have all the morning WDW envy!

[Dreamer]

We’re at AK today too. We were probably just a bit ahead of you this morning.

[ChooseJoy]

Nice!

[Dreamer]

The line built quickly I thought.

[FOMOm_VA]

There seems to be very little room for error at the parks right now, between the spring break crowds and the lack of FPs. I used to FP my way through lots of rides each day, and without that strategy in my back pocket, I’m feeling very lost!

This. 100%

The line built quickly I thought.

It really did.

[ChooseJoy]

I feel so bad for first timers or once-in-a-lifetime folks visiting right now. No matter how prepared they think they are, if it’s this hard for veterans to tour successfully at this time, how must it be for them?

So glad there’s finally something savory offered for breakfast at Pongu Pongu!
