Anyone know if we can still use No Strings Attached certificate with FP+?

[poohj80]

We have a No Strings Attached certificate from a previous visit to Magic Kingdom when we experienced ride issues. In the past, we would just show it to the CM working the FP line and it would be collected with the paper FPs. Can anyone confirm if it will work the same way now with the Magic Bands and FP+ implemented? Trying to decide whether to stop at City Hall first to exchange for something that works with the new system or just try to use as always.

Thanks for any help you may offer!

When I was there in late January you could use a No Strings card at teh ride entrance just like you used to with paper FPs. I do not know if that has changed. Things with FP+ are moving along quickly since the early testing days. Perhaps they can load it onto your MB now. I would call to check. Enjoy your trip. All the best!

I have used a few 'No Strings Attached' certificates since the FP+ system has been in place and had no issues. However, they are very strict about what you can use them on (even though the certificates do not list these restrictions.) We were unable to use one on Enchanted Tales with Belle (which they called a character experience and not an attraction.) I would guess the same would be said for Anna and Elsa at PFTH as well as other character meet and greets. We not only were told no by the CMs at ETWB, but also at Guest Relations and by the Manager I called about the situation. (Long story about all of that) but yeah.

However, I think the No Strings Attached certificates (at least the ones now) do need to be used the same day they are given out or they expire, so you may or may not have an issue using an older one. Just a head's up.

Yes,I feel sure you can just use it at the FP+ "checkpoint".

I was given several "Attraction re-entry" paper passes last month by a nice CM and had no issues using them that way.

I'm at WDW now, I have seen people with the old fastpass type tickets, probably what you are talking about.

Thanks to all! These are older certificates which list all the rides with FP at the time so we will probably stick with those rides to avoid issues (probably use on the mountains since we have FP+ for the newer attractions).

I appreciate the quick feedback!
