There are new reports an Easywdw that say it's going to be stopped next week, but that's a rumor.
Not sure how much to believe this but I had to call tech support today and the CM I talked to was very helpful with my issue so I decided to question more. According to him It was just announced December is still a testing month and we will still receive KTTW cards which will still allow us to get paper FP. Not after our FP+ s are used. Whenever we want with the old limitations still applied. Like I said there is a lot of info going around so I am not saying this is 100% thus is what I was told this morning.
And on wdwmagic the reports are that beginning Oct. 27, some resorts will stop issuing KTTW cards.
We check in 12/27. I have been able to customize bands now. I tried to start FP+ selections but keep getting an error about dates on the website. On the APP I can select the day, select the guests and then it goes to let me select a park but under each park it says " Some Guests' tickets are not applicable" ???
We have annual passes bought and linked to each guest. They are not activated yet.
what do you think this means?
"Quick question for anyone going with more then one family. We are a family of 4 going with another family of 3. We have our reservations linked together. We were able to add each other to make dining reservations, but when it came to fast passes I was only able to make 5... (4 for my family and then one for the main member of the other family whose account we were linked to ) Now when she was able to make them she was only able to do 4 (3 for her family and one for me(the main member on our account)) So we called and disney said that it dropped each other members and they had to readd them which would take 1-2 weeks. So to get around this we made fast pass reservations and then the other would copy the fast pass reservations to each other family members. Is anyone else having this issue or have tried to do this to get around the fact that you cant make them all at once? " I had this happen to me. 3 familes are going with us. we are linked and I could not make FP+ reservations for all of us. when I called and spoke with a very helpful CM I was told you only see the primary person on the reservation and any other adults you link. you cannot see or change other family's children's reservations. the CM told me the purpose of that was to leave the control of children's FP+ with their parents. so we had to go in and make reservations for each individual family then play with the times to make them match up.
If the rumours are correct, by the time we all arrive in December we may be locked out of using regular FP if we are part of the FP+ test. i.e. Disney may not issue us with KTTW cards at check-in and other loophopes are being closed.
if this is the case will people stick with FP+ or try to opt out of the test and just revert to good old legacy fast pass?
We arrive 12-27, and just a few minutes ago I was able to access the FastPicks via the mobile app and make FP+ "selections". I use the term selections loosely because I can't BELIEVE the limited availability - for instance, it is telling me the absolute only ride available at 10 am on Saturday 12-28 is the Jungle Cruise. Really??!!
I wonder if my being able to access this right now isn't a glitch of sorts. I can't get it to work on the desktop, only the mobile app, and the only park I am given options for is MK.
When I try and go in on the desktop, it lists the parks but then tells me none of them are available for me to select from, something about only select tickets being available for this options.
All highly annoying.
I also check in 12-27 and am getting the same error message and the message under the "Select A Park". I was able to make a few limited FP+ choices on the mobile app just a few minutes ago....which I am guessing is a glitch?
This is really annoying.
Your check in date of Dec 27th is outside of the 60 window. I think that once the 60 period is reached you will find that more things open up for you.![]()

I think that with all the reports of people not being able to get FP- times or them running out so quickly in the morning, I will stick with FP+ at this point. We are going the busiest week of the year and I want to be able to ride my favorites with as little wait as possible and if I don't get any others in, then that's ok.![]()
I don't believe the rumors for a second. There hasn't been any confirmation from Disney that they are even considering this move. Even the terms and conditions don't state that they are making guests choose between fp+ and fp-. In fact, there has been confirmation from CM's that KTTW cards will still be issued and we will still be able to get the legacy fast passes.
How long are you staying? I thought I read somewhere that if you have an AP, you can book fp's for up to 7 days in a row. I'm not sure if that is true or not.
I thought the source of the Oct. 27 date for no longer giving out KTTW cards (for select guests) came from an internal Disney memo? Maggie

I didn't hear that. But the whole idea of putting limits on the guests who pay the most money to come to WDW while giving off site guests huge advantages just doesn't make any sense at all.
