planning around keys to the kingdom

[Spencerrr]

I have booked the Keys to the Kingdom tour for October and my fastpass selection is coming up soon. I have read reviews and watched a few videos of people taking about the itinerary of the tour and for some reason a few are different . Can anyone confirm that you do ride JC, Pirates, and HM so I won't need a fasts that day for them? I appreciate the help.

I took the tour in April of 2013 and then again October of 2015. Pirates was not included in either, only JC and HM.

I have the same situation coming up in October and was expecting JC and HM to be included and thus planning FP+ selections accordingly.

Our tour is at 8 am, so thinking the first FP window I should book is the 1-2 pm slot (assuming the quoted tour time of 4.5-5 hrs is correct). Does that sound right or should I leave a bigger buffer?

When I took the tour, I only rode JC and HM. In JC, the guide told you various things instead of the usual jokes from the skipper. At HM, we were told about things before and after the ride but experienced as normal while riding.

Yes, that's right. Start booking at 1pm. Remember, you have a full hour to meet your first FP+, so I would book your first as short a walk as possible from City Hall.

Did you not have the headsets for your K2K tour? Our guide would give us inside info during the HM ride (like secrets to some of the special effects).

We had headsets. All I know is that our guide decided she would tell us things about HM before and after riding. Maybe this was a decision by management because they might have received complaints from guests that guides' voices could be heard by those in the doom buggies in front and behind the guide. Just guessing here.

Thanks! You answered my follow-up question as well - was wondering where they dropped you off at the end of the tour.
