[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is not really correct.  We were just there, on what was supposedly a "low" crowd weekend.  7 dwarves and other popular fast passes (peter Pan) were sold out very quickly after the on-site fastpass booking opens.  Within minutes after rope drop, the wait at 7 dwarves is up to 30 minutes.  By 9:15, the wait was an hour. This was consistent with our last visit, a year ago, also on a low load day in the winter.

True!  I was just there for a low crowd time and fast passes were 100% necessary for those rides.[/quote]

YMMV.  Just back and utilized this strategy to ride both Frozen (no real wait) and Soarin (8 minute wait) by 9:20ish.  Then worked the app to snag a Test Track FP around 10:15 after hitting Nemo.  7 Dwarves was posted 30 minutes at 9:07 but wait was only 10-11 minutes.  Don't use the kiosks.  The app is critical to keep looking for high demand FPs.  SM and BTMRR popup with regular frequency after 10:30 on even moderately crowded days.

Don't overlook the Dining Plan as an option for onsite stays if used strategically at high value restaurants and snacks.  Also, any counter service with soda fountain will happily give you cups of ice water gratis.  The new Express transportation option for park hopping is a terrific convenience.   [/quote]
