So I'm watching people stand in 2-3 hour lines with no clue how FPs work. It seems the busiest day of the year also brings the largest number of wdw novices and first timers. If you are patient and dont kind some crowds. Worth it. We managed fps for space mountain (twice) big thunder (twice), haunted mansion, pirates, buzz, jingle cruise, pan, Ariel, and grabbed a dwarves at 1250 for 110. We also rode tta and cop without fps and went to Tom Sawyer island for tea at aunt pollys
Stopped for lunch at skipper, will do tea party and tiana and then leave before the masses start killing each other over parade and fireworks viewing spots. We saw both at a Christmas party a few weeks ago.
All in all. Great day for a busy day and refresh is still the way to go for those who are patient. 12 fast passes between 8 and 1 and all of them were sought after and when we got them stand by lines were over 90 minutes. We haven't stood in a line all day.
