Change in HS FP+ tiers as of Aug 29

[sponica]

whats that mean? I never had this happen where I didnt book 3.

If you want to ride more than one tier 1 ride using a fast pass, you have to burn off the two tier 2 rides/attractions. After August 29, if you only prebooked SDD (for example) and then tried for RnRC after riding SDD it would give you an error message.

ah damn, so I would have to just pick two other things scan everyones then I can book another tier 1 and repeat after using that one as well?

Assuming the tier 1s aren't already sold out for the day of course. Which they will be since everyone is trying to do the same thing.

Yeah this could end up being a disaster, sucks theres only like 5 rides here. It should be RnR,SSD,TOT and then everyone else Tier 2.....

Hopefully this is temporary. It means people with avoid the park altogether unless they want to do SWGE. So I guess that's one way to keep the crowds manageable.

 

[Moliphino]

So they want to force people to go to the shows as crowd eaters?

They can force me to book a FP+, but they can't force me to actually watch the show. Because I won't.

 

[OSUZorba]

Would I have to book all 3 or can I just book one for SDD and keep refreshing the day of for TOT or RnR? Or does Disney make you book 3 first? I have no desire to book 2 for shows you can pretty much walk on to at all times lol

You have to use three before you can get another tier 1.

If you have a good strategy this would be awesome for same day FPs earlier in the day. If you can actually get the tier 2 passes.

Unless they reduce the number of FPs, I think there will be a lot of left overs, but maybe not.

Do you actually have to tap in though, or can you just let your fp window expire for the Tier 2's that you've booked to add your 4th fp of the day? Lets say you book a show from 9-10 am, a show from 10-11 am, and SDD from 11-12. You don't show up to either show and you ride SDD and 11:30. Can you add another Tier 1 at that point?

Best to tap in, so you can book a 4th faster.

 

[Truxi]

Why wouldn't you? If no one has a FP the line will actually move.

When I go in January, I'll be going with my mom, who has limited-to-no interest in Star Wars as an IP but will still want to Do Things Together. I don't think she'll be game for standing in line for an hour to ride a ride she just Doesn't Get.

Letting them expire works fine in this case, since the one being used is last. You can try for a 4th right after tapping into the SDD at 11.

 

[mshanson3121]

Yup. Absolutely nothing of worth in tier B (we occasionally do Muppets, but you don't need a FP for that at all).

Exactly. None of the shows need a FP.

That’s what I think the goal is. Or ppl will do their one fp there & leave.

But they prob will now.

I've personally had mixed luck with letting them expire. Sometimes it won't let book another tier 1 afterwards.

 

[Future_WorldPhonencian]

Disney obviously knows about how many folks are going to show up or they wouldn’t have done this. Those date based tickets make sense now.

I plan on rope dropping, RnR and TOT hoping to get a FP for Slinky(60 days out) then fill in my day around that. Possibly be done with 4 rides by 11-12. I am assuming the entire morning crowd base will be most likely waiting in line to get into SWGE, so hopefully my plan is solid. I am seeing Star Tours will supposedly be in Tier 2 so at least we get 1 ride there. The only the other ride Id want to go on is TSM and obviously spend the rest of the afternoon in the new land. Anyone think my plan could work?

If they do a virtual queue, I'd bet it'll be completely full for the day soon after rope drop. If you didn't want to spend any time in SW:GE then I think the plan is good.

really, you think they'll close the whole land off for the entire day? I thought by mid afternoon, it would be easier to get in.
