Team Born to Be Wild will use Fast Pass + for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad<\/em><\/p>\nWe weren\u2019t initially sure how we were going to handle our FastPass + reservations. One idea we had was for each individual family to handle their own choices. But, we realized, if we did this, we would miss out on opportunities for the entire extended family to experience some attractions together.<\/p>\n
We then considered each individual family handling their own choices, but having certain attractions for which we would all try to get FP+ at the same time. Once we really thought about it, we realized this would be a logistical nightmare.<\/p>\n
Our third option was to have one individual book everyone\u2019s FP+ selections in one sitting. We knew this would put a lot of work on the back of one person, and we also knew it would take a lot of organizing.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, my Dad stepped up and offered to be the guy to get it all done. And my sister graciously offered to make a Google Docs spreadsheet so everyone could put their choices in.<\/p>\n
Our party can be easily broken up into two groups: Born to Be Wild and Born to Be Mild. Team Wild will go on every thrill ride. Team Mild most certainly will not. Some adults volunteered to take turns on Team Mild to be with the younger kids.<\/p>\n

Team Born to Be Wild\u00a0will use Fast Pass + on Space Mountain<\/i><\/p>\n
In some occasions, it seemed easier to simply get everyone in our party the same FastPass+ and then use rider switch so that someone can stay with the younger kids.<\/p>\n
The big day to book these is just a couple of days away, so we\u2019re not sure if we\u2019ll be able to get everything we want. But, here is the plan:<\/p>\n
Monday 1\/1<\/strong> Magic Kingdom<\/em> \u2013 my sister\u2019s family and my parents will be in the parks. My own family will be on a plane heading into Orlando.
\nBig Thunder Mountain Railroad: Everyone (rider switch)
\nSpace Mountain: Team Wild
\nBuzz Lightyear: Team Mild
\nJungle Cruise: Everyone<\/p>\nOn this day, the rest of my family is concentrating on rides they have at Disneyland, since my husband, daughter and I don\u2019t mind missing those too much.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The tiered Fast Pass + system at Animal Kingdom makes this park tricky to plan<\/em><\/p>\nTuesday 1\/2<\/strong> Animal Kingdom<\/em>
\nTier 1 – Fastpass one, rope drop the other
\nAvatar Flight of Passage: Everyone
\nNa’vi River Journey: Everyone<\/p>\nTier 2
\nKilimanjaro Safaris Everyone
\nExpedition Everest: Team Wild
\nFinding Nemo – The Musical: Team Mild<\/p>\n
Obviously, the biggest crowds at Animal Kingdom are going to be in Pandora: The World of Avatar. We also know that these FP+s are the hardest to get, and if we can\u2019t get them for this day, we\u2019ll plan on rope dropping.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Epcot’s two tiered Fast Pass + system is a bit easier<\/em><\/p>\nWednesday 1\/3<\/strong> Epcot<\/em>
\nTier 1
\nTest Track: Everyone<\/p>\nTier 2
\nMission: SPACE: Team Wild (Green or Orange?)
\nCharacter Spot: Team Mild
\nThe Seas with Nemo and Friends: Everyone<\/p>\n
Even though Test Track is a thrill ride, the lack of hills and bumps makes it appealing for even the Mild kids in our group. Since the only thing my daughter didn\u2019t like about Radiator Springs Racers at California Adventure were the hills, we think she\u2019ll like Test Track.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Everyone will use FastPass+ and rider switch for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train<\/em><\/p>\nThursday 1\/4<\/strong> Magic Kingdom<\/em>
\nSeven Dwarfs Mine Train: Everyone, with rider switch
\nPeter Pan’s Flight: Everyone
\nBuzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin: Everyone<\/p>\nNo one in our party has ever gotten on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, so we plan on all hitting it together, doing rider switch if necessary. (We\u2019re trying to convince Team Mild that it is a very mild coaster!)<\/p>\n
Friday 1\/5<\/strong> Disney’s Hollywood Studios<\/em>
\nTier 1
\nRock ‘n’ Roller Coaster: Team Wild
\nToy Story Mania: Team Mild<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/HollywoodStudios-400x320.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Another two-tiered park, the Studios, with the complication of Star Wars<\/em><\/p>\nTier 2
\nTwilight Zone Tower of Terror: Team Wild
\nFor the First Time in Forever: Team Mild
\nStar Tours: Team Doesn\u2019t Hate Star Wars<\/p>\n
This one was difficult. In addition to being a staunch member of Team Mild, my daughter absolutely hates Star Wars. (I don\u2019t know what I did wrong. I\u2019m a failure as a parent.) So we had to split our party into subgroups for this day!<\/p>\n
Saturday 1\/6<\/strong> EPCOT<\/em> – Andersons 1\/4 day, Valcarce and Bullocks all day<\/p>\nTier 1
\nFrozen Ever After: Team Mild<\/p>\n
Tier 2
\n??<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Team Mild will use Fast Pass + for Frozen Ever After<\/em><\/p>\nAnother strange day. My sister\u2019s family will be leaving in the late morning, so we decided to hit Frozen Ever After, which is really something that my daughter wants to do. As far as the rest of the day, we\u2019d like time to simply wander World Showcase, taking in the entertainment and browsing the shops.<\/p>\n
Sunday 1\/7<\/strong> Animal Kingdom<\/em>
\nTier 1 – Fastpass one, rope drop the other
\nAvatar Flight of Passage: Everyone
\nNa’vi River Journey: Everyone<\/p>\nTier 2
\nFestival of the Lion King: Everyone
\nFlights of Wonder: Team Mild
\nDINOSAUR: Team Wild<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The Fast Pass + entrance to Flight of Passage<\/em><\/p>\nSince we don\u2019t know what is going to happen with our Pandora FP+s, we\u2019re leaving open the option of grabbing one for today. Whether or not we do both Pandora rides on this day depends on whether or not we got to do either of them, or both, on our first Animal Kingdom day.<\/p>\n
So there you have it \u2013 our plans, which at times seemed more complicated than trying to plan a wedding.<\/p>\n
