Any tips on getting the 4th FP+ for the magic kingdom to show up?

 

[yellowfish78]

Are they offering the 4th FP+ for Magic Kingdom? I'm only getting three after I hit done. Or are one of my choices the bonus FP+ and I need to change that? LOL

Anyone? You know, because no one has read is in the last hour and a half... Lol I apparently can't wait. Lol

I had to reset mine and then I was given a 4th. Then went in and changed them all around, including the bonus.

My FP for MSEP says Central Plaza viewing... what area are they referring to? Good spot to stick around for Wishes?

Same here. Is this right in front of the castle?

What did you reset them to? I tried changing mine several times and even tried quick picks and could never get a fourth choice?

As I know, I had a ghost RO reservation at POP prior to my stay at Kidani next month. Received our MB's made all of our FP+ selections. Now to test the several theories that are out there. I cancelled my RO at POP this morning. I immediately lost all connectivity to the FP+ options on MDE web site and on my iPhone and IPad apps. However or MB's were still linked to our profiles on MDE web page.

So tonight I re-booked my RO at POP. As soon as I completed the transaction, all FP+ options opened again on the web page and the app. It also gave me the option to order another set of MB's.

So this leads me to believe that the FP+ reservations that I book would still be linked to my MB's even if I had cancelled the RO reservation. Your guess is as good as mine.

Thanks for posting! Hopefully those of us with ghost RO will retain FP+ even if we never check into the test resort. Hopefully we will get the official word on this in early Sept.

Quick picks worked for me on one day (it added a 4th) and on the other day I just booked three, went in and changed all three attractions at and it gave me a 4th. Good luck!

So 2 parents that want to ride and 1 child that won't?

The usual method would be to get a child swap pass and then 1 parent can go using FP(or FP+) and the other parent could ride using the swap pass. I think even of this is not how they would want you to do it in the future, for this testing time they will likely say ok for now, but next time do xyz.

I schedule my husband and oldest for space while I got a fp+ for me and my two other younger too short to ride space daughters on buzz at the same exact time.

Thanks for posting this. Today I was able to get a FP+ for Wishes for 9/15

Man I got msep on 9/9 I think but can't find wishes during our stay :/ is it stil weekend only? I don't love entirely msep so I don't care where we sit but I'd love a great wishes spot

Hmm good thinking! I was ntf even thinking of sticking around here for wishes. Wishes isn't popping up for me for a fp+ option so this may work. Send dh for food and let the kids play with light up toys while we wait...

Any tips on getting the 4th FP+ for the magic kingdom to show up?

The bonus fastpass+ in Magic Kingdom is only offered on certain days. I'm seeing it 9/22-9/24 but not 9/25-9/30.

On 9/22-9/24 it has been given every single time I've gone in to make new picks.

If you only have three and want a fourth, you should be able to create a brand new set of selections from scratch and the bonus should be given.

At least, this has been my experience.

For all wondering, the resorts involved with the September test are the Polynesian, Beach Club (including villas), Art of Animation, AKL Jambo House villas (NOT Kidani) and Port Orleans Riverside, as well as all of the current resorts. (Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo house, Contemporary, Yacht Club and Pop)

 

[prettypatchesmsu]

Ok, excuse my inexperience, but just started the FP+ selections last night and the button choices are crazy. How do you go back and check later for Wishes, Parade etc after you have already made your FP+ selections? Do you have to lose all of what you've already picked and start over just to check? Could someone walk me through it? Thanks!

Ghost Reservation Update!!!

The plot thickens!! Being the tech geek that I am, I was puzzled as to how my FP+ access and reservations could vanish when I cancelled my RO ghost reservation and then all of my times and access re-appear when I re-booked my ghost reservation. If everything was deleted when I cancelled, how did it re-appear when I re-booked?

My curiosity got the best of me, so I once again cancelled my ghost reservation. And once again my access and FP+ reservations disappeared. When I logged into MDE clicked on my reservations nothing showed up. When I click on "FastPass+" I get the tired old "Are you ready for the magic" window.

Now here is where it gets interesting. Our Magic Bands are still linked to our account and AP's. Also when I click on "My Itinerary" and select a day from my reservation, all of my FP+ reservations are listed. When I click on any of them, the little window pops up showing all three of us still linked to the fast pass. I can click "Modify FastPass+" in the lower corner and I can still change experiences and times of the FP's if I want.

The only caveat is that Tuesday was our water park day so I did not have any FP+ reservations scheduled for that day. I have not found a way to schedule new experiences for that day, but I am still working on that. I am sure there is a way.

It looks like it just may work!!

Ok magic bands question.....
I customized a week and a half ago, then my internet @ the house stopped working and still isn't! So i could watch my customize days count down on my app, yesterday it was @ 0, today I can't click on it and it doesn't say shipping or anything....

Is this normal on the app?

You go to the Disney site>sign in>place your mouse on My Disney Experience>scroll down to FastPass+. Then you Select the date you want to modify and click NEXT. That will bring you to 4 different options (Replace, Change, Copy & Cancel). Choose CHANGE then click NEXT. Select the FastPass you want to change (just choose one if you are just searching to see if anything new has been added) and click NEXT. The next page gives you 2 options.....either Change the Experience or Change the Time. Choose CHANGE THE EXPERIENCE, and SELECT ALL to highlight all the guest in your party and click NEXT. The next page shows the choices available to you.....if the events or rides you wanted to book are not listed, just click cancel (at the bottom left) and it backs you out of the system and nothing will change on your already booked FP+ choices. Do NOT click on the cancel button on the center of the page, that will cancel your FP+ choices (although it does give you a warning first so you can back out of that as well if you accidentally click it).

Some of the MB users that have already gotten their MBs said they received a shipping notification AFTER their MBs arrived at their house LOL so I'm guessing that system is quite slow to update.

Still no bonus FP+ for Sept 26 onwards, and no fireworks or parades on those dates either. BOO! Come on IT, I check it every single day!

I just helped out a friend who is going Sept 15-21 and staying at POR. Got the MagicBands and set up her FP+ selections. One tip: She's spending 2 days at MK. It automatically loaded her a bonus selection for "Under the Sea" both days. That gave her 4 choices instead of 3. Went in and adjusted the second day of "Under the Sea" to another ride and it allowed the change. Now she has an extra selection of her own choosing.
