Changing fastpasses...

[glohoffman]

Ok, I leave next week for Disney, and with the new fastpass rules (you can now get more than 3) do you think I should make my existing ones earlier? Right now I have 2 around 11-1 and another after dinner in the evening (6-7) Should I change the late one to an earlier one and hope to book more? Or would you leave it and try to score a couple more in the evening? Just when I thought I had everything ready....

I have the same dilemma. All of my FP's were late afternoon/evening times but I have changed some since I read you can get additional fast passes after the first one is used, so that you always have 3. Can someone confirm that this is how the system works at this moment?

I would since your first 2 are early. We won't benefit from the 4th FP because our third one is for Wishes. Some have reported that's an option after using first 3 but I'm not risking it.

No. After you use 3, you can make a 4th. After you use the 4th, you can make a 5th, etc....You must visit a kiosk in that park to make a FP so availability can be variable. Reports have been pretty good so far though.

From what people have reported on other threads after you've used your third FP you can book your 4th, once that's been used you can book a 5th.

After I have used my 3 FP can I "hop" to another park for the next FP? For example...if I'm at DHS in morning and have FP for that park, can I then make FP for MK after I use the last one? Also...anyone know if you can make your 4th FP once the return time opens or after it expires?

Does anyone know if the additional FP must be for the same park that you are in at the time? For example...in DHS and have FP for Star Tours, ToT, and TSM. After I use my first one, can I make a new one for MK or must it be in DHS since that is where my other FP's are for? Thinking I will probably have to use all 3 before I can "hop" my next FP for another park.

As of now, you must be in the park you are making FP reservations for.

I did just that. I arrive next Monday. I adjusted my first three FP-PLUS for earlier in the day. Had no problem doing so. Now I can go ahead and park hop and get the fourth FP-PLUS, and fifth etc. I think this new system is great.

You have to use all three before you can get a fourth and you have to be in that park to get a fourth. Using your scenario, once you'd used Star tours, ToT and TSM you could then either get a fourth at DHS or travel to MK and get one there.
