Sorry for the long post!! We haven’t been to Disney in 3 years. The last time we went we had to use the kiosks to get an additional fast pass after using the 3 we booked. I keep reading about the “refresh” strategy, and I want to make sure I understand it correctly! Haha
So, let’s take our first park day next month as an example. We have FP for 12, 230, and 330. Later times bc we probably won’t get to the park until about 11:30ish due to our flight. Also, we have an ADR at 1:30 at BOG. After we use our 3 pre-booked fast passes, I can use the app to book another one, correct? Let’s say I want Jungle Cruise (totally hypothetical - but just using that as I know my kids like it). So I’ll search specifically for Jungle Cruise and keep refreshing until the time I want pops up? Do I enter a time I want? I’m not sure what to expect for that?
I’m shocked this works, bc the TP app Lines usually shows no or very limited availability for most rides for FP when I check each day around 6pm just to get a feel of what would be available when we go.
I worry that our large party of 7 will reduce our chances - but I can always search for my family of 4 and my sister in law can do her family of 3. I guess I’m just having trouble wrapping my brain around the idea that even though it may show no availability, but repeatedly hitting refresh, it may show up. Is that accurate?
