Fantastic plans!!!! The only other main AK FP are expedition Everest and primeval whirl which if you are doing single rider it's not worth fast pass!

If you plan on seeing any shows(and I HIGHLY recommend seeing Finding Nemo at AK) I would add Finding Nemo as your extra Fast pass selection. As a single rider, you'll be able to get on the rides at AK quickly. But now that Finding Nemo is a fast pass+ selection, the theater is filling up much quicker! My husband and I see the show every other Disney world trip, so we see it 15, or more times a year. We LOVE it! It is on our "not to be missed" list!

For your Epcot fast pass+ I recommend Soarin'. Even as a single rider you'll have a long wait for this ride. It's worth the wait, but if you have an extra fast pass+, why wait wink

AnnielovesDisney...thanks for the Finding Nemo..or the Lion King so I will have to think about that for my 3rd FP. Now Epcot is another issue as they have the tier system I cannot select Soarin (have that selected for the 14th) as I have picked Test Track (on the 18th). Sad

AnnielovesDisney...thanks for the Finding Nemo (I love that as well) so I will put that down for my 3rd FP. Now Epcot is another issue as they have the tier system I cannot select Soarin (have that selected for the 14th) as I have picked Test Track (on the 18th). Sad

I forgot about the tier system yuck If Mission space(orange side if you like it a little more action packed) is on the separate tier from Test track, I'd pick that. If not, try Sum of all thrills(if it's available as an option)

Yay for another Finding Nemo fan clapping I don't think it always gets the love it deserves. It's a wonderful show.

AnnielovesDisney. Yes double yuck yuck on the tier system...especially at Epcot where in my opinion the 3 best rides is on the same tier A where you can only pick one. yuck again. Mission space is something to consider. Sum of all thrills is not a FP option. I have never done that so have you? Because I really would like to know if this is something to do on one of the days we are at Epcot.
Yah for Finding Nemo.

You'll be leaving on my birthday...wah wah! Anyway, looks like a great plan so far! Just curious, did they let you make a FP+ reservation for Mine Ride?

Allie well here is an early birthday
No I can't make my FP selections until 3/13 which is my 60 day mark. And from what I've been told even if it isn't available when I do make them I can keep checking and once it is delete one and put the Mine ride it's it place..so this should be interesting.

Oh my gosh I love how you plan! It looks like an amazing trip you have planned. If you need a dinner place for downtown Disney might I suggest House of Blues. We eat there every trip and have never been disappointed.
