So if I have a FP, for say Pirates, from 9:30-10:30 am, and I use it at 9:45 am therefore it’s redeemed, I exit the ride at 10:00 am... can I then book another FP from 10:00-11:00 am assuming something is available? Or do I need to wait until 11:00 am to book the next one?
Sorry for the confusion on my part! we use FP at WDW without issue and absolutely love it. DL is obviously different so just making sure I understand before I enter.
Just FYI, there's no FP for Pirates at DLR
FP at
Disneyland is Legacy FP that used to be at WDW prior to FP+. There are only a couple of differences (extra perks) that are added if one purchases MP. But beyond those perks, they are exactly the same system.
Differences:
Max time between pulls (standard FP is 2h while MP is 1h30m even if pulled from the kiosk and not through the app).
Ability to cancel a FP pulled through MP (you cannot cancel a FP if you do not have MP)
Cancelled FPs are available to pull for anyone with MP (FPs all out? Keep checking! Someone might cancel something).
PP+ (all Photopass photos, ride photos, and dining photos are available the day of purchase of MP).
Legacy FP (and MP) operate with you can pull your next FP when you're window opens up or after 2h/1h30m (MP) have passed.
Whichever occurs first. You do not have to have used the pass to book another. It's a much more guest friendly system in my opinion than FP+ is.
The exception is if the time for the next time is less than 30 minutes after pulling. Then you must either wait 30 minutes or you can use the pass and be able to book immediately.
You also cannot hold a FP for the same ride at the same time. So if you already have a Space pass, you cannot book another until you have used that Space pass even if your window had opened up.
Show FPs you still have to go to the kiosks to obtain. They do not count against you like they do at WDW.
There is technically no limit (beyond number of FP rides) to how many FPs you can hold. Your only limit is that you can only book one at a time between either park (they are linked although they didn't used to be) until your next window opens.
