Can you now schedule 4th and more FP+ from a smart phone???

[kitty2kidz]

A friend of mine is going in 2 weeks and said she saw a friend of hers who just got back from Disney World and said they were able to schedule their additional FP on their phone ap. I havent seen it here ( from my all time reliable sources) It would be nice.... has anyone done this??

Haven't heard this was possible yet....but so hope it's true!

I had a friend tell me the same thing just 2 days ago. I wasn't sure to believe her or not. Maybe they are doing some type of test?
I didn't think it was possible yet?

We leave in 21 days. Subbing to thread to find out! I have a family member going in 10 days and hopefully she can tell me. I don't know how tech savvy she is with FP on phone though. She hasn't been to WDW since fp+ was implemented.

We will be there Wednesday & this would be so wonderful, if true! I think we would surely have heard more reports about it though??

Not necessarily, Most people on these boards would know you "need" to visit a kiosk and would not try. I wouldn't try unless I heard differently.

Here now and have tried it. It is not possible. I also asked at the kiosk to double check. There is no way to make your 4th FP on the app

Lines at some kiosks are still insane. We waited 15 minutes for a kiosk in tommorowland

Thanks for the info. Why disney sinks all this money into magic bands and then doesn't fully enable the technology for guests to serve themselves is just beyond me.

To make matters worse, they then place a CM at each kiosk holding a tablet and then have them assist guests at the kiosks while the tablets sit in their hands unused! They could easily cut the wait time in half... If you know what you are doing then go to kiosk, if you don't, go to a CM with a tablet....

Just left yesterday. App never worked for 4+. Most of the kiosk lines I waited in were <10 min. This was at MK & AK. Got 4th at AK and 4th and 5th at MK. Didn't really need help, but most people seemed like they did.

Thanks, Tramp68. Another thread suggested this was possible, but alas, sounded too good to be true.

I was thinking this was bad intel but wondering if anyone here has been able to? We are going 1st week of Sept and my friend leaves in 2 weeks.

For those of you that are there one and may be going soon....if you need to use a FP kiosk go to the one in Storybook Circus by the Fantasyland train station. We have been to that one several times and there is never a wait!

What I have read tho is once you make the 4th at a kiosk you can change it via the app. I too hope they add the ability to book 4+ from app. I don't think the system can handle it though. I mean I read about glitches every day....as much as I want the ability to book from app, I'd rather have a reliable system first.

You can edit the 4th fastpass on your phone once you've made it at the kiosk - that might be what someone was referring too.

When I was there in June-July, I went to the kiosk - picked whatever the first thing it was it gave me and then played with the fastpass + on my phone. This way I didn't take up so much time at the kiosk, especially since there was almost always a long line, and I found the kiosk difficult to use.

I got an Anna + Elsa FP + this way, it randomly popped up as an option while I was messing around with my phone.

As of August 1st I had to make my 4th and 5th at a kiosk. CM told me you have to use kiosk but I keep trying while waiting. I have not tried for a 6th

Did you try changing it via the app? That's what I was trying to say. Initial needs to be done at kiosk but folks have been able to change it via app. As a PP stated, this might be where.some of the confusion is happening when folks say they used the app for 4th and additional ones.

I misread your post. Yes, you can modify 4+ on the app. I found if you keep refreshing you can usually find a better time or experience if you are patient.
