Do you need to check in at FP+ for it to count?

[PeterPan1234]

Let’s say I want to waste a FP to finish my initial 3 FP so that I can grab another higher tier FP. Do I actually have to check in at the attraction or can I just let the time run out?

If you ‘tap out’ your FP, you ‘waste’ less time rather than waiting for the full hour to expire.

See the FP FAQ ADDENDUM Sticky for tips for quickly booking another Tier 1.

Unless you don't even enter the park until after the first FP expires, in which case there's no wasted time.

Sure, but I inferred from the OP’s question that they are wishing to skip their 3rd FP and therefore are already in a park. @hiroMYhero ’s suggestion would save them nearly an hour wait for booking their 4th.

I inferred the same. To “finish” the initial 3, waiting for an expiration is a waste.

Just cancel it

Just cancel it

The goal is to book another Tier 1 attraction FP. Canceling a Tier 2 won’t allow for booking another Tier 1.

I think "tapping out" is the way to go if you want to reset your account for a tier 1. If we have a no show FP on our account, sometimes it hangs there until you cancel it, which may leave you still on your 3rd.

Thank you. I guess I should’ve read the FAQ first. There’s a lot of good info there.

Typically if you are fast enough you can just find something close by to “tag”. Our last day we had PoF fast passes, staying at AKL. We did PoF then “tapped out” our second with Tough to be a bug on our way out of the park. I was able to get a Toy Story FP before we left AK as we were heading to HS.

You didn’t need to ‘tap out’ Bug because you already used a FP in AK. When hopping, it doesn’t matter if you book a Tier 1 for Park#2 even after using a Tier 1 in Park#1.

Example: Use a Tier 1 FP for Flight of Passage. As soon as you enter the FoP FP line, book a Tier 1 for DHS and a Tier 1 for Epcot. You aren’t restricted to Tiers when hopping.

I was fairly sure you needed to use two in one park before the 3rd allowed a new park. Either way; I wouldn’t have wanted to risk it.

Nope - once you've used one in a park, you can get add'l ones at any park same day any tier if available.

[EDIT - should have made clear I mean any "OTHER" park once you've used the first]

i think that's right. at the kiosk it's tough to get a 4th for a tier 1 if one's unused in my experience, i think the option's there but tough to find (had a cm help then). haven't tried that with the app but i assume it's similar.

I have never had this work for me.

Look at the sticky thread on add'l fastpasses. It'll show how it's done in case you were doing something wrong or misunderstood when you could do this.

I tried it on my last trip. Couldn't do it.

Yup. This has happened to me on several occasions.

 

[BlueSuitDonald]

I thought after your initial 3 fast passes that you could only book one at a time for each additional one.

Yes after your first three it is one at a time.
