FastPass+ Test #4, More Deluxe Re-Visits, Other Stuff–This Week’s Visit to Walt Disney World

By Dave Shute

I’ll be at Disney World from late Thursday of this week through early Wednesday of next week.  Here’s the goals:

TESTING FASTPASS+ AS THOUGH STAYING OFF-SITE

Buy a four day ticket, and, ignoring my annual pass, MagicBands, and such, test FastPass+ as though I were staying off-site.

That means making day-of reservations at kiosks in the park.

(All the parks will be FastPass+ only by January 23).

For the earlier tests, see

• First Test of FastPass+–attractions
• Second Test of FastPass+– fireworks, parades, and character greetings
• Third test of FastPass+ — making plans on the day of use

SEEING IF I CAN BUY MY WAY OUT OF THE THREE FASTPASS+ PER DAY LIMIT

Using both the new ticket and my Annual Pass, see if my way of throwing money to fix fastpass constraints under the old fastpass system works for the new system too.

That is, if, by using two different tickets per day, I can get six FastPass+ per day.

CONTINUING THE GREAT DELUXE RESORT TOUR OF 2013-2014

As some of you know, I’ve stayed in every Disney World resort (and within them every major room variant) since I opened this site.

Specifically, I’ve stayed in 86 different Disney World rooms, 70+ of those since I opened the site.  Reviews from these visits are here. 

Some of my reviews of the deluxe and Disney Vacation Club spaces are getting old, though, so over 2013 and 2014 I’m revisiting them all, to re-write their reviews.

So over this visit I’ll continue the re-visits to the Contemporary and Animal Kingdom Lodge that began in late 2013.

• In December I revisited the Contemporary’s tower rooms and a two-bedroom villa at Bay Lake Tower. On this visit it’ll be a garden room.
• In November I re-visited a Jambo House pool view room and in December a two-bedroom villa at Kidani Village.  On this trip I’ll have a Jambo Arusha bunk bed room, and a Jambo studio and one bedroom villa.

Among these visits, the Epcot DVC bookings I have for March, the four more deluxes I will be revisiting later in 2014, and some other plans, I’ll cross 100 different resort room visits sometime in 2014, and none of my reviews will be from visits earlier than 2012.

This seems worthy of some kind of celebration–or intervention!
