Tip Tuesday: Pooh & Dumbo Fastpasses

It's time for another Tip Tuesday.

This week, I wanted to share a brief tip about Fastpasses for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and, more importantly, for the newly opened double Dumbo in Storybook Circus.  Both Fastpass dispensing machines are located not by the entrances to the respective attractions, but rather outside the entrance to Mickey's Philharmagic in Fantasyland in an easily overlooked location.  Some guests may even mistake the Pooh/Dumbo Fastpass for that of Philharmagic.

While this may not seem at first to be all that important, it can be helpful to keep this tidbit in mind, especially during park opening when most people rush straight to Dumbo to get in line, thinking they will get a Fastpass at the attraction itself, only to discover that the Fastpass distribution is located on the other side of Fantasyland.  Later in the day when standby lines build to 30, 45 or even 60 minutes, it may be even more helpful to know exactly where to find the Fastpass distribution.

Hopefully this little tip will help you soar into the sky on the quintessential Disney attraction!

Second Dumbo looks to open soon

 

Over the weekend, Disney Imagineers took down the construction walls surrounding the second (original) Dumbo spinner.

It looks like the double-Dumbo and the interactive queue will be opening soon, as Disney has said.  I suspect we may start to hear about guest testing and soft openings in the coming days and weeks.

 

Here is a different shot where you see the inactive spinner in the foreground with the new spinner running in the background.  If I happen to still be at WDW when testing or soft openings occur, I'll try to get some shots and share them on the blog.
