I don't think they go directly back into the system like dining ressies do, although I could be wrong.

I've always wondered that every time I see these posts. From my own experience, I've had to drop things from time to time in order to make another change and then tried to get it back almost immediately and the time I dropped isn't there. I think there's a constant update and while someone cancelling one will be a data point the system looks at, I've never seen evidence that that exact FP suddenly becomes available. Anyone else have hard data otherwise?

Best I can tell, it appears that when you refresh all the FastPass slots you see are temporarily held. Once you choose a FastPass, the rest are put back into circulation. That is likely why I'll see a time, then it disappears when I refresh and a few refreshes later it shows back up. It would also mean that you may not see all available FastPasses as someone else has them on hold while they're picking a FastPass. If that someone grabs your FastPass, its gone. If not, you may still not see it as someone else might have refreshed before you and it is now being held while they choose a FastPass.
