FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

[ksm5084]

Sorry if this is repetitive...for my trip in June, we're heading over to Epcot just for our Soarin FP at 1 PM (we have other morning plans already). I would like to schedule the rest of our fastpasses at MK for later that evening/night. Can I just schedule the one at Epcot and then while at EPCOT, schedule my remaining two for MK? Thank you in advance

After you enter the FP line at Epcot, you can schedule for MK.

I am hoping someone can answer my question, which was covered in this post earlier, but I wanted to be sure.
I am making my FP+ reservations tomorrow at 7am. My problem park is EPCOT and the tiers. Can I pre-book just (1) FP+ for FEA at 9:30am and no others? Do you think any of the other tier 1's will be available after I scan the mickey head and, if so, will I be able to book them even if I didn't pre-book (2) tier 2's?
TIA!

The new FP system won't allow you to book another Tier 1 if you have not used 2 Tier 2 FPs. The new system knows you have not used your initial 3 and won't allow the 2nd Tier 1.

You can book your Tier 2s and just scan your band at the FP tapstile to "use" them. Choose 2 Tier 2s that will be easy to move up in time so that you can use them quickly and book a Tier 1 as your 4th of the day.

FYI - I've heard that there are no pre-11 FPs for FEA after 6/27 for some reason, though Norway will allegedly be opening at 9. Can't verify for all dates, but I was online the minute FEA went live yesterday, and 11 was the earliest available on my date in July. Hoping this changes, but in your situation, you could schedule your tier 2 "throwaways" at 9 and 10, do FEA at 11 then immediately book your 4th once you enter the queue. You may have a shot at a later tier 1 at that time?

Sorry to ask what is probably a dumb question but I wanted to make sure I understand. DH has a conference in November at a non-Disney hotel. I'd like to check in to a Disney resort 2 days before the conference and get park tickets for 8 days. We'll check out, move to the non-Disney hotel but my DD and I will go to the parks for the next 5 days. Then we'll go back to a Disney resort for a couple more days. Does that mean I can only book FP+ 60 days before for the couple of days at the beginning of the trip and the remaining days can only be booked 30 days before?

TIA!

No, your 60 day window opens and you'll book for check-in through checkout day. Then, the 60-day window begins rolling and you'll book the rest of your park days 60 days in advance of each park day.

See mesaboy2's Split Stay section of the original post.

Thanks HiroMyhero! I appreciate it, I read it several times and just made myself more confused!

I thought your first three FP+ had to be in the same park so the OP won't be able to plan their remaining two in MK

The new system allows for park hopping and scheduling FPs. This has been confirmed by @marciemi and others who have been assessing the new system and reporting back to this thread. It's a great change that benefits those with hoppers.

After the PP uses the only Epcot FP, the system allows the booking of the other two initial FPs in another park.

Thanks for that, I had no idea. So to get this straight in my head - the first FP can be booked in advance but the second two in another park are basically same day Fastpasses.

Perfect - you've got it! Day of via the app before arrival to the 2nd park.

Has anyone been recently and have had success with one person having a fast pass and getting a rider switch pass for the remaining adult and kids in the group?

Thanks for all your help, hiroMYhero and Cluelyss!

Curious how booking went for you this morning @cadd10? Did FEA show times before 11 am on your date?

 

[hiroMYhero]

@Snurk71 - I'm going to move your post to another thread (SDFP).

This is great! For our upcoming trip we'll be at Epcot 3 separate times so we'll be able to do FEA, Soarin, and TT. On our first day we'll only be at Epcot for a few hours then we're headed to MK. The fact I can book just one FP at Epcot (FEA, Soarin, or TT) and then while I'm in line for that I can book my other initial two at MK is awesome!

I purchased a gold AP for our upcoming trip, however our plans have changed and we have to go during a blackout period. I can't upgrade the ticket until I get there.
Can I make a FP on a blackout day with an AP?

I don't think so, I have a Gold AP and DD were going for her birthday in March. It would only let me make FPs up to the 17th - the days were not available.

Have you called to see if you can upgrade before hand?
