Hi All,

So I think we now have a proof of concept plan in place and have started to book some Fast Passes.

The plan is below and live as is but happy to change if anyone has better ideas or suggestions.

The days with Fast passes are the ones I've booked via the App so far but again willing to change anything for a better suggestion. Can not change Discovery Cove that is a firm booking.

There are 7 of us:

Grandad (70), Me (42), Misses (46), StepDaughter (17), Stepson (15), Son (14), Daughter (9).

Looks ok to me. I think my only comment is that you are leaving three of the rides that usually have the longest queues to chance at rope drop. I definitely think I would want a FP for those. The queue for 7DMT was very long even ten minutes after open time.

I tried but its really difficult to get those passes and with Soarin or TT its one of the other so had to make a guess.

I can't even do a be our guest booking for MK.

You should be fine doing RD rides on your first few days, as you'll be up early enough to make it to the parks in good time. I'd aim for a good 45 minutes before, probably an hour at MK. But I think the Belle FP is a bit late on a RD day, so I'd keep trying to modify that and bring it forward if you can. Or even head there after 7DMT and see if you can get in early, then cancel the FP.

I'd probably swap the Epcot Sunday with IOA or SW - although I'll admit to not knowing the IOA crowd levels. Should be quieter than Epcot on a weekend during a festival though. And maybe push VB back a few days so there's a bit more space between the water days. Could swap with MK or Busch - again, no idea on the crowds there. I only do Disney.
