Using FP+ as an annual passholder

Now that all the Walt Disney World parks have done away with paper fastpasses, fastpass+ is your only option. As a local passholder, I can not get a magic band to make my selections ahead of time. So that means that I must get to the park, go to a FP+ kiosk, and make my three selections for the day.

I went to the FP+ kiosk in Liberty Square and I was the only person there. A CM outside handed me a paper with the list of all the FP+ attractions on them. Then inside, a CM with an iPad was there to make my selections. He asked for my first selection and I told him the Rapunzel meet and greet. He scrolled through the list on his iPad and informed me that there was not one Rapunzel FP+ available. I then asked for a Cinderella FP+ and that was available. I then chose one for Journey of the Little Mermaid and one for Space Ranger Spin. The times that were chosen for me worked except for the one for Space Ranger Spin, so I had the CM change it for a little later. Once all my selections were made, I took a picture of the iPad so I'd know the times for my FP+'s. I was a bit confused by the fact that the CM told me to take a picture of the iPad so I'd know the times. You'd think that they'd have a better way of handling that, like maybe printing out your times for you. They don't even need a full sheet of paper, it could be the size of a paper fastpass.

I had no problems using FP+ (except that I couldn't get one for Rapunzel) but that doesn't mean that I liked it. I didn't like having to make all my selections for the day at once. I didn't like being limited to only three for the entire day. I also think it's very unfair that if you're a local annual passholder you can't make your FP+ selections in advance because they haven't given us access to that yet.

If you need to make your FP+ selections the day of, just look for a FP+ sign, pick your attractions, and remember to write down or take a picture of your times so you don't forget.

Snow White's New Look

Snow White has been recently given a new look. I wasn't too sure about her new look at first glance but after seeing some more pictures and then seeing it in person, I love it. Her dress is my favorite of all the new princess dresses. It's the dress that is the most movie accurate and it's beautiful.

A Farewell to Camp Minnie-Mickey

Camp Minnie-Mickey closed yesterday. It's going to be demolished so an Avatar themed land can be built. I have always really enjoyed Camp Minnie-Mickey. It was one of my favorite places at Animal Kingdom. I loved watching Festival of the Lion King, meeting characters, and just relaxing there for a while.
