To describe our growing up in the lowcountry of South Carolina, I would have to take you to the marsh on a spring day, flush the great blue heron from its silent occupation, scatter marsh hens as we sink to our knees in mud, open an oyster with a pocketknife and feed it to you from the shell and say, 'There. That taste. That's the taste of my childhood.' - Pat Conroy

Disney World's FastPass+

Yesterday was our 60 day mark. We are now less than 60 days away from our vacation and all of us are tired of counting down. We are just ready for it to be here! Come on September!

Anyways, since I have documented the whole trip I also wanted to document our FastPass+ selections as well, just in case any of you have a trip planned for the future or are thinking of planning one.

Disney FastPass+ is essentially an allotted time where you can skip the line and get directly on the ride without the wait. You start with three per person per day, but once you arrive in the parks and use them all you can get more while there.

Here is what we chose:

MGM Day
Tower of Terror
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
Toy Story Mania

Epcot Day
Spaceship Earth
The Seas w/Nemo & Friends
Soarin

Magic Kingdom Day 1
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Peter Pan's Flight
Splash Mountain

Magic Kingdom Day 2
Under the Sea - Journed of the Little Mermaid
Enchanted Tales w/Belle
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Animal Kingdom
Kilimanjaro Safari's
Expedition Everest
Kali River Rapids

Magic Kingdom Day 3
Splash Mountain
Haunted Mansion
Buzz Lightyears Space Ranger Spin

We chose based on what we wanted to do and also took into account the busiest rides in each park. People have asked me why plan so much and truth is, with Disney you have to. Disney is not a vacation where you go to relax. If that's more your style go to the beach. With Disney you have to plan out your dinners and park days along with your FastPass+ choices. This ensures your family will have a great time and I cannot wait to see all my hard work planning, come into fruition. I know Cadence is going to have a blast, as well as Tarl and I.

From what I read from Disney FB pages here are the busiest, most crowded rides from each park. These are the ones where you definitely want a FastPass for: Toy Story Mania, Soarin, Peter Pan's Flight, Kilimanjaro Safari's and Space Mountain. We're not doing Space Mountain because although Cadence is tall enough to ride it, it's a ride where I can't physically hold on to her while riding due to the seating arrangement in the ride car. That ain't happening! It's dark with big drops and mama ain't letting her do that alone!
