49 Days until WDW
This week was the first of my FP windows – and I’ve got 11 days of FP+ to book so let’s get cracking.
Park Day 1 – Animal Kingdom
My first park day will be spent at Animal Kingdom (and seeing as this will be the second time in as many trips I am going to call it a tradition).
As a solo traveler I find getting 4th/5th/6th FP relatively easy so I book my first three FP as early in the day as possible.
At AK I’ve got the following FP:
· Expedition Everest – 9:00-10:00
· Kali River Rapids – 10:00-11:00
· Kilimanjaro Safaris – 11:00-12:00
I’ve also got lunch at Sanaa so after Kilimanjaro I’ll be hightailing it out of there with a plan to be back in the park around 3pm. Then it will be a few more hours in the park before heading over to Hollywood Studios for the Club Villain event.
Park Day 2 – Magic Kingdom & Hollywood Studios
Day two begins at Magic Kingdom and I’ve got the three main FP I need considering BTMRR is down :
· Splash Mountain – 9:00-10:00
· Space Mountain – 10:00-11:00
· Seven Dwarfs Mine Train – 11:15-12:15
The plan will be to start clockwise and do Pirates and Jungle Cruise before heading into Frontierland for the first FP.
· Splash Mountain – 9:00-10:00
· Space Mountain – 10:00-11:00
· Seven Dwarfs Mine Train – 11:15-12:15
The plan will be to start clockwise and do Pirates and Jungle Cruise before heading into Frontierland for the first FP.
I’ve got some resort time booked in the early afternoon before my plans currently have me going to Hollywood Studios in the evening. The point of this was to see the Star Wars fireworks (and hopefully do the dessert party). Unfortunately updates this week have the SW fireworks only on certain days of the week in October and this isn’t one of them.
I’m leaving my plans for now in case this changes but my back up is to head back to AK to catch their nighttime entertainment as the park hours have been updated to having the park close at 8:30.
Day 3 – Hollywood Studios & Magic Kingdom
I’ve got the morning planned at Hollywood Studios and with Rock’n’Roller down for a refurb I booked the following FP:
· Toy Story Midway Mania – 9:00-10:00
· Tower of Terror – 10:00-11:00
· Star Tours – 11:00-12:00
It will then be back to the resort where I have lunch booked in at Whispering Canyon Café. After lunch it will be time to change into my Halloween costume and at 4pm head over to MK for the evening for MNSSHP.

Day 4 – Magic Kingdom & EPCOT
My morning is fully booked with the Keys to the Kingdom Tour. That should finish around noon and then I’ll make my way to Old Key West to check in.
After that I’m heading to EPCOT for the first time this trip – I’ll start with a couple of F&W seminars and then use the evening to get in some attractions.
I have FP for:
· Frozen Ever After – 6:00-7:00
· Spaceship Earth – 7:00-8:00
· Mission Space – 8:00-9:00
Day 5 – Four Parks in One Day
Day 5 is my four parks in one day challenge. I’ll be starting at Animal Kingdom and then will head to Hollywood Studios at around 11:00. I’ve booked my FP for this park as it’s the easiest way to achieve the challenge (one ride, one show, one character meet etc):
· Frozen Sing Along – 11:00-11:15
· Tower of Terror – 12:05-13:05
· Toy Story – 13:10-14:10

After using the FP it will be time to head to EPCOT and then finally on to MK to close out the day at the Wishes dessert party!
Day 6 – Hollywood Studios & EPCOT
Day 6 won’t begin in a park as it will be packet pick up time for the Wine & Dine 5K race the next day. Given its location at ESPN Wide World of Sports I decided to do a few hours at Hollywood Studios before heading to EPCOT.
EPCOT will be all about F&W that day so I didn’t really need FP – so I booked them at Hollywood Studios instead:
· Tower of Terror – 11:55-12:55
· Toy Story Midway Mania – 12:55-13:55
· Star Tours – 13:55-14:55
· Tower of Terror – 11:55-12:55
· Toy Story Midway Mania – 12:55-13:55
· Star Tours – 13:55-14:55
And that is all I have booked so far. My next FP window isn’t til next week (because there is a gap between the OKW stay and BC stay due to the cruise!) so next week’s update will be part two.
