It became a challenge — a Rubik’s cube that needed solved.
[THINKING PROCESS]
— 9-Day Trip
— This/these ride(s) won’t be available on first four days.
— First attempted FastPass: “Flight of Avatar” on Day Five of trip. Then Soarin’ Day Six. Then Splash Mountain Day One. And so on. Needed a strategy BEFORE the window opened!!
But I became proficient and figured how to schedule my ADRs 180 days out and line them up with impending FPs at the 60-Day Mark. Whew!!
I would map out the trips in advance in my head, being as precise as I could. After a bit, it became quite fun. I enjoyed it!
Now, I’ll need to learn a new system. Learn the pitfalls while on the next vacation. Probably ruin one vacation as I learn the new intricacies. Knowing me, I’ll reluctantly pay for the convenience, but then expect more on delivery. We will have to see if the trip is more enjoyable. Or less.
