We leave for WDW 26 days from today. Our first Park will be Epcot, on Memorial Day itself, Monday the 25th. We usually go in April and the last time we went was two years ago, before this FP+ system was rolled out. So I am not accustomed to being there on Memorial Day, nor do I have any experience with FP+.
When I made our Fastpasses for Epcot yesterday, I picked Test Track, Spaceship Earth and the Seas with Nemo and Friends. One of my questions is regarding Spaceship Earth. I hardly ever have to wait in line for SSE. Maybe once or twice in all my trips. But I almost always just walk right on that ride. So do I even need a fastpass for that one, or has the new FP+ system (combined with the influx of crowds for Memorial Day) made it necessary to get a FP for it? I almost hate to "waste" a fastpass for a ride that doesn't usually require a fastpass, although I don't mind in this case since all the busiest rides were lumped into a "pick one from this group" option, and then I was given a choice of two out of the rest. The remaining options all tend to be ones for which I usually don't need a fastpass (such as Figment, SSE and some others). However, since I hardly ever do the character spot, because I don't want to wait in line, I thought about getting a FP for it and just doing SSE as a walk on. We usually walk right onto that one multiple times a trip, but I don't want to miss out on it if a fastpass is now required. We have several character meals planned, so we can do without the character spot as well, but I just want to make the best use out of our fastpass options.
Should I get my FP for Spaceship Earth, or the Character Spot?
What about Living with the Land? That is another one that we always walk right onto. We are doing two days at Epcot, so should I concern myself with getting a FP for that one, or is there another attraction which would make a better use of my fastpass?
I have heard conflicting stories of how many fastpasses we are allowed. I was under the impression that, although I only get three at a time initially, once I ride the first ride, I can get a fourth fastpass for later in the day. But a friend at church this morning just went a month or so ago, and he says you can only get three, period.
Where do I go to print my fastpasses from my phone to paper?
