Ok so FF = fastforward. If you are able to obtain an anytime LL at the end of the day (last park hour) don’t use it. It will carry over into the next day. When you start a day with an anytime LL from the previous day, any LL you book can be used immediately. Lets say you book Jungle Cruise for 11am and it is currently 9am. If you go to JC they will not only let you on (mickey will turn green) but it WON’T take the anytime it will use the JC LL 11am! So you can immediately use any LL you book (regardless of time) and it won’t use the anytime.
The trick is, is has to be an anytime from the previous day. If you get an anytime in the middle of the day, just go to guest services and ask them to move it to the next day and you are in business.
Double tap is the the ability to book two LLs simultaneously. You need to have two devices with BG1 (doesn’t work as well with MDE) and each device pick a LL and hit the confirm button at the exact same millisecond and you will get both. I have heard it works best if one person hits the button on two phones, rather than two people trying to time together.
Hope that helps. Maybe I will see you at Yacht Club…I’ll be wearing a Disney themed t-shirt, so easy to spot.
I will be next door at the beach club! 5 of us, 3 kids 14, 11, and 7. Also check in on Aug 13. Checkout on Aug 22. 6 or 7 park days, one TL day, one other resort or TL day.
I am familiar with all you mention but had not heard it termed FF or double tap. I like it!
I have a few reservations I will be cancelling at some point if any of it is desired. If TL cabanas or umbrellas are of interest, I will likely cancel Aug 18’s. I also have savi, droid depot, and Oga’s. Those are for either Friday or Sunday. I was planning on using Friday, but I could switch since you leave Sunday.
We are also likely classified as insane for the number of open/close parks that are part of the plans. I’m starting to have nightmares about it! The last one I opened BG1 at 7:04!
Lets hope not. I’m optimistic that the double tap is absolutely in play. The Fast Forward as I call it will probably be fine too. Only one way to find out.
From a fellow lurker…Just got back from WDW first week of August. Weather forecast for our week looked bad but I never opened a poncho all week. Yes it rained in the afternoons a little…less than expected, and we anticipated that and found a places to relax…lounge at Poly and Enchanted Rose at GF are examples. After the rain passed, we were on our way. I always scope out possible indoor places in case of rain and don’t wait until the rain is upon us to try to get in somewhere nice for an hour or so. Had two granddaughters with us 7 and 8 and they just got something to drink, played on their tablet or one of our phones and relaxed in the air conditioning. As for Genie+ we did our research and combined with early entry and being close to the front of the line every day we killed it. First day MK and hop to EPCOT on a Sunday with a break in the middle of the day…19 rides without more than a 10 min. wait. It can be done. Have fun.
There is a thread (pinned) in the LaCava category of this forum. It has videos in the first post (that is the only post you need to read). Try to set it up. If you have an issue ask on that thread. Most likely you will get it right away (I didn’t). It makes getting LLs much easier to navigate.
Bring athlete’s foot cream. I couldn’t get any at the resort or at the parks. My son and I were dying after our feet got soaked and we had to stay in our shoes. He switched to Tevas and socks after two days.
We went to the parks for 5 days and didn’t use our 6th day as we were done. We loved it at night when it was cooler.
We got up early and then napped when the skies opened up. We also hit the pools when it was raining but there was no lighting.
Take the boat at the end of the day when you don’t feel like walking.
We had no trouble with G+ and rode everything we wanted at a reasonable time. We bought LL for Avatar because only 2/5 wanted to do it. We bought LL for Epcot’s new coaster but then also rode it for free with the 1pm line. We did the cool ride at HS by jumping in line at 8:59 pm. Star Wars something. lol
Start before 7 am because my cell wasn’t right on. Use data rather than wi fi if you can.
Real ponchos are much better than the cheapie ones. Bring something to air dry them with in the hotel. We have an IKEA drying rack that hangs. Also useful for swim suits.
Went to DHS at 5:15. We stacked LLs all day starting with SDD at 7am.
Between 5:30-9 we did:
Star tour standby with no wait
MFSR. LL
SDD. LL
TSMM. LL
RNR. LL
MMRR. LL
TOT x 2 standby no wait either time at end of night.
Double tap worked for us. We hit every ride except ROTR (which we will buy at some point this week) and ASS in 3.5 hours with no waits over 8 minutes. G+ is incredible when you can stack all day for an evening in the park. BG1 is insanely easy to use. Rebooked once with ease.
