FPP day anxiety

I planned a time and attraction I will try to modify at a drop each of my HS days.

I know…I feel like this whole process has turned me into a greedy little troll who just wants ALL the fastpasses. I am trying to focus on doing the best I can and then leaving it to the winds of fate. But that little troll in my head keeps whispering all about the fastpasses!! :rofl:

I have a screenshot of the drop times saved, so I can do this if I need to as well!

The thing to remember is that you cannot pick a time that has an attraction you do not want to lose. I booked STs one day and plan to try to modify it at drop time.

I didn’t even think of that. Thank you! I probably would have done something silly like losing TOT trying to modify something else!

It was the hardest piece for me when planning. I see 11:31 and 12:01 drop times (I am not sure which one is right) so I tried to plan around 12:30 thinking it should work? I might be completely off base!

HS just scares me silly with the tiers and drop times. I’m going to have to be SUPER careful when modifying.

Let me tell you this: I’ve seen people freak out before, and I say the same thing. If you’ve planned, right now is not the time to worry. It’s not even 10 minutes before your start time. The time to worry is AFTER your start time and you haven’t been able to book anything yet.

So sit back, grab a drink, prop your feet up and RELAX. I promise you, it will be ok. If you are booking at 60 days, you will get what you want anyway. It might be a little later in the day but it’ll be ok.

Even if you wake up sick and can’t do it for a couple of days and you can’t get what you want, I promise you will have an AMAZING time. It’s Disney, after all.

But, I promise, if you get up early and book at your start time, you will get what you want when you want it.

I wasn’t able to get SDD and we ended up just waiting for it at the end of the night (ended up waiting less than an hour and loved riding it at night). It will be okay!

You are so calming! Thank you…I needed that!

Yeah, doesn’t seem so bad scooting in line at the end of the night. We’d have to give up Fantasmic, but we can make that call in the moment.

I agree that it’s nice to have that golden cyber ticket that guarantees a seat, but if I can’t get an FPP for a ride I want I just make it an RD priority.

We do plan on RDing most days, so this is another option for us. I would just have to tweak the TP’s a bit.

I felt this exact way on March 4th when March 5th was my first ever attempt to secure FPPs. As a CA resident, getting up for a 4am sign in wasn’t fun either. Just have your schedule ready and try not to hyperventilate. EXPECT GLITCHES. I was online for about 5-7 min. then the site went down for over 30 mins. I was freaking out. It went back online and by 4:55am, I got all my FPPs for my 5 days in May. All close to the times I wanted. Moral to the story: It all works out.

At that point, I would definitely have taken the day off and just stayed up overnight to book!

Seems like glitches are the norm on FPP day (but again, with Disney IT, when AREN’T glitches the norm??), so at least I will be prepared if and when it happens!

good luck…let us know how you did

In my Evernote file I have these two copy and paste responses from chat:

SDFP Drops :: Current drops ::

Epcot (Soarin’ & Test Track) 11:31, 1:31, 3:31 (sometimes FEA at 9:31/37 9:57, 10:07, 10:37)

Hollywood Studios 9:31, 12:01, 2:31

AK (FOP) 11:01, 1:01, 3:01, 5:01

I have SDD as 11:31, 1:31, 3:31. Curious is this also applies to TSM? I love this ride and would enjoy doing it 2x. Are the ones the same for Epcot? I read EP on another post but wasn’t sure if EP meant Epcot? Thx

Current drops: EP 11:31, 1:31, 3:31(sometimes FEA at 9:31/37 9:57, 10:07, 10:37) HS 9:31, 12:01, 2:31AK FOP 11:01, 1:01, 3:01, 5:01As of 6/3/19 possible Tier 2 AK drops 2-2:30

I planned for the 12:01 drop but those other times have me worried.

These ones? Definitely Epcot, not HS. Someone has got same day drop confused with Slinky Dog Dash.
