4th FP + and how to book

[acc82]

so i know you can get your fourth FP+ by going to the kiosks in the parks - but does anyone know if you can use the app to book those instead? if you're staying on site and have a magic band and a MDE account, would this work? I hate the thought of standing in that kiosk line! Thanks!

Kiosk only but you can then change the time via the app.

Nobody can use the app to book their 4th FP+. Everybody has to use a kiosk as of now. That could change sometime though.

Maybe I missed something, I couldn't change mine from the app.

Maybe it was the day MDE was down? Many are reporting taking the given time from the kiosk and then adjusting afterwards.

Good point. This was a crazy weekend for FP because of SDMT.

I've heard that there are cm's with I-Pads around the park who can help you book your 4th.

Just at WDW may 1-3. At the kiosks there are some extra cast members with iPads and some just walking around helping at kiosks.

Must get 4th (and others) at a kiosks and yes you can change it on the app after.

We didn't have much luck at Epcot on the 1st. There are no kiosks in WS so if you want a 4th book 1-3 early in the day then get your 4th before leaving FW. Soaring and TT were gone by 3pm. FP+ soaring and standby TT AT 9:30 was 30 minutes.

Can't comment on DHS as the system was down all afternoon due to (everyone thinks) 7dmt FP release. TSMM was our tier 1, standby for RnR at 9:30 was 30 minutes. TSMM later afternoon standby was posted as 40 but was about 20. Later afternoon RnR was also about 30.

MK FP+ experience was great on 5/3. I honestly think we did more in this day than on previous visits with FP- and we usually go in September or jan/February.

I speculate that the kiosk only may change. I sort of looked like the app wasn't fully integrated with the 4th+ fastpass selections. Maybe the app was still a little glitchy from the day before. My experience was that that additional FP+ selections didn't show up under reservations until you actually used them. But when you went in to select modify FP+ you could see your pending FP+ and change it.

A little glitchy and not intuitive but I'm good with technology and not afraid to just click around til I figure something out! I have a feeling the push out of the 4th (and more) and park hopping was done to kiosk only first because the app isn't ready yet. Just my theory - no actual knowledge. I bet selection through the app will be coming because they won't want all those people in the kiosk lines. They will still need the kiosks and cast members to help the clueless and fix issues.

I have a question about a 4th FP.. Can you get your 4th FP from a kiosk at MK for a ride at HS, or can you only get it for the park your in at that moment?

It's specific to the park where you are located.

Confirmed. As of yesterday, kiosks only show FP+ availability for the park you are at.
