You can get potentially any ride, but when we were there in mid July there were a few rides that were "sold out" by the time we finished our first 3 FP+. Those were rides like Mine Train, TSMM, Soarin-- I think those were the only three we weren't able to book for later in the day! The downside...

We just got back in mid-July and we were Rope Droppers combined with Early morning FP+. For us, the rope drop allowed us to ride Big Thunder 5 times in a row without getting off the ride, heading straight to Splash for 2 rides and then moving through fantasyland. This was in the middle of the...

Honestly, I think the FP+ for the Mine Train is worth it- it's a fun new ride, albeit short and somewhat kiddish- but to avoid that 70min + line, worth it! We did 3 days of it on our recent July trip and it was totally worth it, especially as we found the other big rides (mountains, PP) to be...

I was there in July, off property, so I was only able to get my FP+ reservations 30 days out... I still managed to get 9:15 AM FP+ for the Mine Train each day we were at MK!

I'm in the same boat as you... as a teacher my options are limited to February break and Summertime. We just got back from a week in July and found it to be really manageable if you do it right (ex. getting 9 FP+ total at MK, cooling off at the shows like Country Bears, etc.) but I definitely...

It needs it- we were there last week and it broke down multiple times- a few of the carpets had back sections that were missing or falling off.

We were there last week and they closed down TSMM at 8, along with most rides in that back area of the park. The "parade" is definitely short, but it was cute- the kids love it!

Agreed- They actually started chanting Argentina during the preshow to Fantasmic and people started booing them as no one could hear what the poor two MCs were saying...

Just came back a few days ago and both days we spent at the MK, the line was 60 minutes at the shortest, and that was at 12AM. I got FP+ ahead of time, but I heard one person mention that they got a FP+ right as they walked in the gate.

The Brazilians were somewhat bad, but the Argentinians this week were worse. Constant chanting, pushing, and pretending not to speak English in order to avoid directions... They're always shocked when you respond to them in Spanish (or Portuguese for the Brazilians) to tell them how rude they...

I love wearing sundresses to the parks! The only rides I've had issues with before are Space Mountain (awkward to sit down), Kali River (get too wet and dress sticks) and the Carousel can be a challenge!

A little of both... Sometimes they will just pick up on your excitement and offer to do a "special photo," other times I've asked for ones (mickey balloons I usually ask for!)

I love all of these stories! I'm hoping to get into the Backlot Tour during our August Trip this year, and maybe back into Indy as well!

We got ours done in front of the Beauty & The Beast Live Show at HS!

How did you guys go about getting picked for backlot? We're going late summer and I'd love to do that to round out my "audience participation" at HS!! haha

It's definitely a challenge... I'm staying off property & was lucky enough to get a reservation for our 2nd of 3 MK days, but stick it out- hopefully you'll get lucky!!

For me it's Captain EO, and Astro Orbiters!

Now that FP+ early reservations are open to off site guests, where are the best places to buy tickets? I've heard of websites that offer discounted prices, but are any of them legitimate?

The hilton shuttles aren't as great as the Disney ones, that's for sure. We stayed there a few years back for a school trip and the shuttle came sporadically and with only 1 park per time slot, so we had to either wait a while to get to our location, or walk to downtown & then find a shuttle to...

Like everyone else said, pack for both. I come from up north (NJ) and when I was there one January (2010 I think) it was 30 degrees each day. It was cold even for me, and we had packed some layers, but certainly not enough for that weather. It was the coldest trip I've ever been on, but also one...
