That's exactly what we did. Space, splash, and mine train, then after lunch at BoG we we on a FP grind to say the least. And thanks, we did have an excellent time!

It's way too busy for animated characters. I get they were trying to get them as realistic to real clocks and candelabra's but they went a little too liberace and too overly designed. This would a case where less is more whereas other live action Disney films would better off with more detail.

I think they seem pretty neat looking. You certainly wouldn't want something as plain as the animated version and, if you must do live action updates, they should have their own distinct aspects compared to the toons.

I bet a lot of people try to save their FastPasses until the afternoon. This will be our first trip using the new system and trying to get a handle on the planning part. This is a great tip on using the system to your advantage.

I love Cogsworth's design.

And you hadn't even seen the characters in motion yet.

One tip is to never use one of your first 3 FP's for a nighttime show. We used FP's for all the actual rides at HS, then got one for Fantasmic at around 2 PM. I'm not sure if it will work like that at all parks (MK specifically) but it worked there.

Haven't seen them in motion but this is a family film. My 5 year old niece and my 10 year old nephew both thought Cogsworth looks creepy (I'm actually fine with Cogsworth design a little much but its okay) but Lumiere is really just a weird design choice, maybe it will show up better on film maybe not.

I think they look great. This is definitely before they "animate" this is their "sleep-mode"

I tend to make FPs for around mid-day for Space, Pan and 7DMT. That way I can hit all the attractions in Adventureland, Frontierland and the Haunted Mansion after rope drop with little wait. Then we burn through those FPs and any others that follow one at a time. Either that, or we park hop after the mid day FPs.

I'm just trying to find Lumiere's face. So far I like the originals better but I don't outright hate these.

It seems they are going for the Rococo style (asymmetrical and whimsical), which is an interesting choice because it's not the most aesthetically pleasing. I would have preferred a more classical Baroque style - but there is this from the animated film

Then again they aren't shown alive yet.

You did it right for sure. Although we rarely go early in the day, that is exactly the suggestions my family and I have made to people when asking about scheduling FastPasses. The only problem is, that as more people realize this, the "add on" FPs are going to get harder to obtain. It actually may get harder to get the preplanned ones as well if everybody wants to schedule those in the morning.

It could potentially become more wide spread, but as long as there are still tons of people that don't know how fastpass works and book none until the day of (which I see all the time), I don't think it will become a burden.

Cogsworth's face is still easy to make out though.
