Extra FP+...How does it work?

[Meriam]

Hello! I was given two days of extra Fastpasses because of a bad experience on our last trip. They were just added to MDE today. I notice that it won't let me schedule a specific ride/time. It just says 3 FP from 9-11, so does this mean that I can just walk into the park and use them on any ride that I please anytime that day? Anyone have experience with this?

Yes that's exactly how it works. You can (or should) be able to use them for anything (though when you see them in MDE it might show you a list of attractions if it applies to a specific park, if not, they are good for anything).

Be careful though, if you are using FP+ at an attraction you have BOOKED one of your 3 daily at, it MIGHT use one of your other FPs. Make sure you check upon leaving, if it used the incorrect FP, you can try to talk to the FP person at that attraction, but might have to find someone from Guest services. This has happened to us.

So, would it be best to book my 3 for the afternoon and use the Open passes in the morning? It seems like that would minimize the chance of a mix-up.

Sounds like a totally reasonable approach.

Alternatively. Use your normal 3 first, so that you can potentially book another (4ht or even 5th/6th) though the kiosks, and use the any time FPs for stuff later in the day, including the hard to get stuff ... 7DMT, a meet and greet, etc.
