New Disney App feedback.

[djm99]

Is anyone using this for reserving fast passes? If so how is it going OR how did it go? I just adding my tickets to the app. I'm going in July. Any feedback would be great.

I've used it to make changes, both times and attractions, as well as to copy to other family members. Worked fine.

It is pretty easy to manage on the app (and it's just fun to play with if you have spare time, if only to learn your way around the app to make it that much easier when you're in the parks and on the move). However, I might suggest that you handle the first batch of FP+ reservations on the website rather than through a smart phone/app. Just seems easier to work with...and although it's not difficult, it can take a little time. Why? Because either way, they seem to first assign you a "recommended" set of FP+ options based on what you've told the system you want...and then you have to go in and modify to get actual times that fit your day rather than what the magical man behind the curtain thought would be good for you. I also tried to reserve just one FP on one morning because we have other plans that will start by mid-morning (taking us out of the parks), and the system almost seemed offended that I was only trying to get one ("Are you sure...?"). I gave it the go-ahead, and it immediately and randomly chose two others for me. Seems like a way to make the whole system more inefficient (and eat up FP options that we wouldn't ever use), so I don't quite understand the logic there, but it is what it is.

We're also going in July, and I was looking on the system this morning and realized that a lot of the morning slots are already gone for some of the things I thought about reserving, which was surprising to me. Thus, if you're going in July, I would indeed suggest that you go ahead and start booking some FP+ choices, even if you decide change them later.

Overall, given that FP+ is upon us, it is nice to be able to use a phone app to manage things, especially if you're in the park and want to change something without having to go to a kiosk.
