13 days until Disney!!!!!!!!!
This update is pretty random, yall. I won't lie.
I have an EARLY flight on Tuesday morning (the 28th) which means getting to Disney early as well! Basically, I'm planning on checking into Pop Century and then immediately jumping on a bus to MK. I've been waiting TOO LONG!!!
If you don't know what I'm talking about, I have been totally and completely avoiding New Fantasyland. I haven't seen any pictures, videos, or read any updates about it. NONE! (That's why, on several TRs, the awesome writers will say, "DON'T LOOK, MARISSA!" Pretty amazing. I just want to be completely surprised and blown away seeing it all for the first time in person. And trust me, between the DIS, twitter, instagram, etc., avoiding it has been no easy task! The only things I HAVE looked at are Storybook Circus pictures. I mean, I was actually IN Storybook Circus back in August. It wasn't completely done yet, but all the buildings were up, and I had already seen concept art of the adorable new meet and greet. So really, no reason to avoid those. As far as everything else, though, I haven't seen it. None of it. Even the Tangled bathrooms (????) they put up. I'm picturing the area behind Pinocchio's... did they just redo those bathrooms? Eh, I'll figure it out when I see it. Hahah!
So basically I'm just RAMBLING here, but I swear, I do have a reason for this update.
I need your help!
Since I don't know anything about New Fantasyland, well... I don't know anything about New Fantasyland!
I've been avoiding so much that I basically feel clueless! So here begins my onslaught of questions.
Do any of the attractions have fastpasses? If so, are the FP machines at the actual attractions, or are they in another area completely? Can I meet Eric? Do I have to go to dinner at Be Our Guest to see Beast? What time should I get in line for lunch at Be Our Guest? (I definitely didn't get an ADR for dinner. Hahaha.) If I'm arriving at MK around 11-12 (on my arrival day), will I have a chance of riding the Little Mermaid? BASICALLY, I want to know anything and everything I possibly CAN know right now. If you've gone straight to New Fantasyland at park opening before, I want to know what your plan of attack was and how it worked! I'm serious yall. I'm clueless over here. I know nothing. It's a little sad. So I will appreciate ALL the help I can get!!!
I'm just really, really, REALLY excited about Disney and Pop Century and Port Orleans Riverside and EVERYTHING that is going to happen on this trip! I'm still working on finalizing ADRs and trying to make plans. To be honest, I don't want to make too many specific plans. For the most part, I just want to 'go where the wind takes me' a la Pocahontas, my fellow Virginian. We'll see what happens!
I haven't forgotten about the game! I will let yall know who the winner is very soon, I promise! Until then, thank you so much for all your help!
Continued in Next PTR Update
Okay here are my answers that echo everyone else basically.
Little Mermaid has fast passes. They are by Mickey's Philharmagic. I think that's one of the reasons honestly that they don't run out sooner, because they're not like RIGHT next door.
Can't meet Eric. Sorry love.
You should have a chance of riding for sure. You're going during a semi-less crowded time. We didn't have many problems even over Thanksgiving with the craziness. Plus, the queue is incredibly pretty, so it's worth waiting in.
Don't worry too much. Just go with the flow lady.
