Fast Pass Kiosk Locations - CONFUSING

[threeboysmom]

Do the locations for the kiosks keep changing or something?

Every single site I've been on that list the locations have different locations for each of the 4 parks. I'm thoroughly confused as which site has the actual locations. Trying to plan out my itinerary so I can book my fast passes, and having the kiosk locations ahead of time would be very helpful. I really don't want to put myself over in Adventureland to book my 4th fast pass at the Jungle Cruise location (according to one site) and then find out there is no kiosk there and I have to hoof it all the way over to Fantasyland, for example.

Anyone know of a site that has the most recent locations? I've been to the official Disney site, Touring Plans, All Ears, and even the DIS. Each site is different.

1. Yes. (And not, "or something.")

2. No.
You can use the park maps that you pick up the day you are in the park.
Many/most/some/all of the FP+ kiosks are shown on them.

3. Yup. Nothing new regarding this kind of confusion since FP+ began.

I am a WDW veteran of 30+ trips and haven't required a map in many years. However, with the addition of the FP+ kiosks, I needed a map in 3/4 parks in order to get my fourth FP. Only in the MK did I know where to go upon arrival. It was embarrassing not to know my way around after all this time.

Every time we try to go to a kiosk we go by my printouts and then they're not there anymore, it's so frustrating

Encountered same problem on last trip. Web sites all list slightly different locations for the kiosks, none of them perfectly match the actual locations in the parks. On top of that, we saw kiosks in some locations that were not included on any list. Also saw kiosks that opened late, and other kiosk locations that closed early, and what appeared to be temporary/"pop-up" kiosk locations (a couple of CMs with tablets).

Best bet is to scope out the park in the morning while touring. Make note of the open kiosk locations and how busy they appear.

Haha, wise guy.

You're missing at least one important fixed location in MK.

Where would that be? I only see 4 listed on the official Disney site (when looking at their maps). There used to be one back in the Circus area of Fantasyland but it looks like it's no longer there.

If you want to avoid as many headaches as possible, I recommend that you stay away from the "official" Disney site for much of anything regarding up-to-date info. It is notoriously unreliable, incomplete and slow to update.

(No, I'm not kidding.)

Yes everything at disney changes a lot. The paper maps you can get as you walk in seem to be the only up to date source on where things are. Last year, there was a smoking section that overnight became the nursing mothers section in hollywood studios. That wasn't thought through very well as some smokers didn't notice and that's about as complete opposite as you can get for a sudden change. The FP in the middle of MK also moved overnight. Not far but when the ride they were next to reopened, they changed the line to get in and the fast passes moved to a section next to it so there was stroller parking.

The paper maps you can pick up when you walk into the park always seem to be up to date and I grab one every time I walk in, even if I got one the day before.

And, the unmentioned permanent FP+ kiosk location at MK is...


City Hall.


But, keep it quiet.
We don't want EVERYBODY to know about it.

Oh yeah I totally forgot about that one! Not really the most convenient place for scoring those 4th & consecutive FPs though...

It is, if you are entering MK as your second park of the day and have used your first 3 at another park... like Epcot.

Ask me how I know this.

And as someone who always does MK open-close, I would have no idea.
