Epcot FP+ Question

[Aristomommy]

Our Epcot day is just the world showcase as we want to take it all in. The only FP+ options are Maelstrom and possibly the new Pooh option, both are tier 1. Is there any way to FP both? Can you create FP at tier 2 and not use them or do they have to be used before getting an official tier 1 4th FP. Thanks!

The last time I checked, Pooh was no longer showing as FP+ option. Is it back again?

Not sure. I just read where it would be FP only starting May 11.

You can book your 4th after the 3rd one expires. I would book FP #1 and FP #2 for 9-10 and 10-11. That way you can make Maelstrom (or Pooh) your 3rd FP and book the 4th one as soon as you use it rather than waiting for one to expire.

I just read a post from someone saying Disney cancelled their Pooh FP and sent them an e-mail saying it's standby only.

Regarding the question about getting a 4th FP....yes, you must make 3 and USE the 3. Not just let the time pass and the FP expire. We actually had the CM tell us to GO! GO! because of line FP backup...and we didn't actually scan out magic bands on the safari.

Then later....when we were at MK seeing a 4th FP....it was showing up that we had not actually USED the safari FP...even tho the time was passed.

So the CM had to get a supervisor. who punched and poked on her ipad for about five minutes, then we got the 4th pass. We got a 5th easily right after completing the 4th one.

Thanks for that info. Things seem to change daily

That makes sense, thanks for the explanation. I think we will just do Maelstrom that day then.
