I received an email from Disney that effective 4/10, after you use all 3 of your FP+'s you will be able to access a 4th FP+ now from your phone and will no longer have to use a kiosk.
  • If you have done so, How was the experierence?Easy, Did MDE freeze etc?
  • Also, How were the ride selections available?
 
According to many reports on the DIS FP+ Forum (to where this thread has just been moved) of those checking on the availability of "popular attractions" for a 4th FP+, the selection has been, well... terrible.
 
Yesterday I was researching having 1 Tier1 in one park and then booking a Tier1 in another park. By 10:15 ET, RnRC FPs were gone for the complete day for a party of one.

:crazy2:

Any wild guess as to whether people testing from home are having any real effect in deflating availability or whether it's really that sparse? I really can't imagine there are THAT many people just testing it or that their "catch and release" of FPs would have that big an impact, but I don't WANT to believe that availability will be that terrible now!

I'm not sure. My pre-booked FPs have included the Land, Figment, and Pixar Shorts to not take a high in demand ride. I can only book 7 days out so my TSMM I had was a left-over to begin with.

It could also mean there are still problems with the app. Yesterday the booking window Calendar screen was frozen and showed no booking days being available to me when I have 4 tickets attached to 3 guests in my MDE.
 
Hmmm. . . The only thing that seems clear to me is that "inconsistent" is the best description of the new experience so far!

Edit: in another thread a user is reporting getting Expedition Everst and 2 on RnR as his 4th, 5th, 6th on Monday. . . But it looks like he had to refresh and check seemingly 110s of times to get those. Good extras, but no desire personally to be that glued to my phone!
 
Someone on another thread just wrote that, even though the app would tell him that there were no FP+ available when he was trying to more FP+ that day, he kept trying over and over, sometimes as many as 30 times, and eventually one would pop up. Persistence pays off, I guess.
