4th FP+ at concierge?

[igk]

Is this possible? If I visit a park in the morning with my 3 pre-booked FP+s, then want to hop to another park for the evening, my plan would be to leave the first park, go the the second one, get the FP+, then leave, returning later in the evening to use it.
Since hearing mention of being able to do it at the concierge, is it possible to arrange the FP+ at the resort instead of going to the park?
I'll be staying at OKW BTW.

1. That will work.

2. Maybe.
Many have reported that the "standard level" resort concierge would no do so.

I've never used the 4th FP. Do you have to wait until your 3 FP's are complete to get the 4th on MDE? TIA

Yes, on the ending of your first 3 (Sorta.)

But, NO on using MDE.

This kind of information is explained in the FP+ thread found HERE. Read post #1 and #2 for FP+ recommendations and timing advice.

Thanks. I've used the site for regular fast passes but was never sure how to go about getting the 4th one.

You cannot use the app or the MDE site to book your 4th FP+.

It must be done in the park for which you want a given FP+ and it must be done in-person at a FP+ kiosk.

I cannot wait fo Disney to update this. I really hate those kiosks.

I'm not so sure they intend to update this.
Booking in-person at the kiosk serves one of the main purposes of FP+,
to limit FP access to the busy attractions.

If they wanted to allow 4th, 5th, 6th FP+ access from the app, they
could easily do so.

You just never know...

Yeah, I know..... It's a good thing I am not a FP strategist and tend to just mosey along through each park. Because I really do not like the kiosks..... It's strange, because I have never minded lines, not on buses, not for attractions, and not for food. But for some reason I resent having to get into a line for this.

1. That will work.

In that scenario, will it work if only one member of the party goes to the second park? If I have the other members of my party linked in MDE can I be the only physical person to have entered the park, then book the 4th FP+ for all of us?
I know I can do that if we're all there...

Yes. One person is all that is needed in the park, at the kiosk to make the additional FP+ for the whole party.

If you are a club level guest at select Disney resorts you can book your 4th fastpass via text message. You don't need to be in a park.

We did this on our trip last summer at BWV. It is possible that they have changed the rules by now, but we did not have an issue getting the hotel lobby concierge to issue us additional FP if they were available. However, we always asked politely and never expected them to just do it.

I can imagine some people demanding it and getting nowhere- and if a large number of people started requesting it, they may have done away with it because it would overwhelm the desk and negatively impact the services they are supposed to be doing. I would say that there is no harm in asking- if it can save someone a trip to another park, that is great. If it cannot be done, then you have lost nothing by asking. Again, I think common courtesy is important no matter what the reply...

Is there a chance the concierge at Pop will do this, or is it only available at the deluxe resorts?

 

[ofcabbagesandkings]

It worked via text with the club level concierge our last stay. But honestly, by noon whatever we would have wanted/needed wasn't available anyway.

 

[preemiemama]

I don't think it hurts to ask at any resort.

I don't think it hurts to ask at any resort.

I'll give it a shot in a couple of weeks and report my findings... At worst case they'll say no and I'll be in the same position I started in.

Booking 4th fp through standard concierge worked for us at YC summer 2014. Did not work for us summer 2015 at BC.

So it is possible that the rules have changed. We did not go summer 2015- but did have luck at BWV in 2014.

I plan to try to book additional FP at Grand Floridian for Fantasmic in the afternoon. No way I'm busing over to HS for it. I'll let you know if it works. Can anyone comment on how long the lines at the Kiosks generally are at MK? (For fourth fast passes later in the day, so maybe 1-4ish.) I have read some Kiosks are generally less busy than others, has this been your experience?
