What should I get my FP for (sixty day window tomorrow!)

[Aquira]

So, I'm thinking of getting it for Anna/Elsa, Peter Pan, and Mine Train for my first day in MK. I'm going to Epcot the next day. We want to do Mission Space and Soarin. Do those count under the "only one or the other" category? If so, which one should I snag the pass for? The last day, we're going back to MK. We want to do The little mermaid, pirates, and maybe splash mountain. Would it be good to try for those? If I can't get some of the first day passes, I can hopefully switch things around. This is my first time doing this and I just want some advice on my choices. I'm trying to get rides I've never done(all of the ones mentioned). Thanks!

I should mention that the "first day" passes are the things most important to us.

HI! I hope that someone else replies, because I am not fully versed on FP+. I just wanted to point out that Pirates is closing for repair, I *think* in May. You might want to look this up before making a whole plan. Google "Magic Kingdom Refurbishment schedule 2015" and you should get it. Otherwise, from what I have read, your three choices sound like good ones. Are you interested in Space Mountain? I would imagine that would be a popular one at MK. I have definitely read recommendations to get your FP+ for the Mine Train and Anna/Elsa.

As for Epcot, I don't have the tiers memorized, but I bet when you go online to do it (since you are doing it tomorrow, you may not have time to research first) it will only show your available choices.

Thank you for the nice reply! I looked up Pirates, but couldn't find anything about it closing this year. I'm not too interested in Space mountain, looks a bit too intense for my wimpy group! I had to do a lot of convincing just to get Splash even considered. And thanks for re-affirming that I'll need them for Frozen and Mine Train! I thought those two would be pretty important. I just checked the tiers and it looks like I can do both rides we wanted for Epcot.

Pirates closes on May 11th for what I believe is a 6? month refurb. I think that your choices are good by the way. You will be able to get Soarin' & Mission Space at the same time. Hope this helps.

Hello Aquira!!!! I was reading your posting and I felt compelled to respond to you with a link that will help you greatly......http://.com/fastpass-at-magic-kingdom-for-on-site-and-off-site-guests/ I've used this site for numerous planning ideas especially for FastPasses. There's even links for the other Theme Parks as well as a link on how to get the most difficult FastPass of them all....Anna & Elsa. As far as what rides to pick, my best advice to you is go to YouTube and search for each and every ride you're thinking of going on. Most of them are filmed from a First Person Point of View so you'll get a sense as to if you'd like it or get nauseous from it. LOL. Make sure the people going with you see these clips also so THEY can decide whether or not they want to go on them. When you gathered enough info from everybody, you should be able to build a consensus on what rides to get FastPasses for. And remember that you can change your FastPasses as many times as needed so long as there's plenty of FastPasses available for the ride(s) you want to go on. You probably did your FastPasses already but my suggestions and tips should be able to help you out whether you got your FPs or not.

Sounds like you have kids. I would definitely get tickets for Anna and Elsa since they go very quickly. I think Peter Pan and 7DMT are also great choices since both tend to have longer Standby lines. If you are planning to do a second day at the MK I would probably grab the Mountains (Splash, Space and Big Thunder).

At EPCOT Soarin and Mission Space are in different tiers which means you can pick them both as part of your 3 choices. If you are planning to do Test Track, I would suggest that you get to the park early, hop on Test Track and then use your Soarin and Mission Space FP's after that.

Also be aware that the Studios has tiered FP's with Toy Story Mania going quickly on some days.

Definitely want it for Mine Train, Anna/Elsa and Peter Pan, unless you get there first thing in the morning, then you can knock Peter Pan out quick. Soarin and Test Track are on same tier, so you are safe trying for Soarin and Mission Space. Have fun
