Do you know???

Do you know if you can let one of your fastpass selections "expire" without bandtapping at the attraction and then get a 4th pass at a different park?

Here's the specific situation:

We are going to be at Hollywood Studios in the morning (open at 9:00.) We plan to get there at rope drop and just ride a few favorites.Then we will parkhop to Epcot where we have lunch reservations at The Garden Grill.

We have selected some "dummy" fastpasses at Epcot for the morning time, when we will actually be at Hollywood Studios.
(Dummy Fastpasses – 9:05 – Journey with Figment / Mission Space 10:40)


The reason for this is because we really want to ride Frozen Ever After at Epcot with a FP, but we want to be at HS in the morning.

Lunch – The Garden Grill – 1:30

Fastpass: Frozen Ever After FP - 2:30-3:30

So... since we did not actually bandtap the two morning fastpasses, after we ride FEA, will we be able to get a 4th FP somewhere else? It's our last day in the parks, so we are planning to parkhop a couple of times so we can squeeze in our favorites on the last day. Whew. Hope that one makes sense!

Yes - Perfect for your scenario!

Yes - Perfect for your scenario!

Thank you!! We were so worried we didn't make a good decision! lol I'm hoping someday soon they will allow FP+ selections to be made at whatever parks you choose! I hate feeling like we are wasting them!

I'm also adding this:
Book only FEA for that day and as soon as you tap at FEA, go into your app and book 2 FPs for your next park to complete your total of an "initial" 3 for the day.

Sorry, I was in Starbucks and only keyed in on your initial question! So, go with FEA only and then 2 more after that.

What?! Mind BLOWN! We did not know you could do that! We thought you had to use all 3 at the same park. I guess due to the fact you can't reserve at 2 parks on the same day ahead of time. Thank you so much for that helpful info!!

Here is a thread to read through. Testing of the system was going on at the time to confirm how it works for hopping.
