FastPass+ Basic Info, Attraction List, and Suggested Priorities--Part I

[kaybee1476]

Anna & Elsa no longer have a visiting princess with them (it was Aurora).

Has this already taken effect?

I think Kenny's site has the official move dates on it. Glad we'll see the other princesses at Akershus! And we have an FP to see Rapunzel (and Cinderella).

Thanks, mesaboy, for keeping the info on post #1 current. Very helpful!

You stated (and others feel free to answer as well!) that "except for the super-popular Anna & Elsa M&G, there are no indications that FP+s for even the other most popular attractions disappear that quickly". I do see posts for folks reserving "at midnight". For those booking the NEXT day after opening of the 60 day window for things other than A&E Meet and Greet, are you getting what you want for other headliners? How about 2-3 days out? Still availability?

Thanks

Don't know if this helps or not but I just got home an hour ago. We drove down for the weekend and got Annual Passes. This was the last weekend of Starwars weekends, we hit HS an hour before rope drop which was early that day (8 a.m.) Since we were there an hour early we didn't use any FP at HS. We walked on to TSM, then hit TT, then RR and then TT one more time. After we felt we got our major check lists done there I booked FP for later that day for MK. Got Space Mount, Peter Pan, and Thunder Mount. Knew going into it 7 Dwarfs would not happen, lol. That being said the ride was closed while we were there anyway. I scheduled my FP yesterday afternoon for Epcot today. Chose to FP Test Track. Arrived to park early again today, walked onto Soarin then used FP for TT. Didn't really need FP for anything else. To me it seemed basic headliners were obtainable just not the hot new ones. Now I just need to research on how to get a dining reservation for Be Our Guest, lol.

How does FP+ work with mission space? I want the 'spinning' one but the other person in my party wants the tame one. Can that be done? (Sorry I forgot the 'team' colors).

 

[lillieandlilahsmommy]

This may have already been asked, forgive me if I am reasking. Any ideas if and when MK and AK will begin utilizing a Tier System?

 

[Ismo]

Sorry if someone already asked this...

I just booked my FP+ last night and I selected a FP+ for Mission:Space. I just realized that it didn't specify Green or Orange.

Do we get to select which one we want when we get to the FP+ line?

Didn't see that you asked the same thing I just asked. I was wondering the same thing.

 

[kimbert]

We were just there 1.5 weeks ago, and if memory serves, we scanned our Magic Bands, and were asked which experience we wanted. We both wanted the same one, but I'm sure you could have each asked for your preference. The CM handed us a card, Orange or Green after we scanned. This step was done outside.

Could someone ease post the "tiers" again for each ride at the parks. I have a copy of one, but I believe I saw an updated one where they moved some of the rides from tier1 to tier 2. I'm trying to figure out our fp schedules...

Also, with 7DMT a definite tier 1 at MK, can I book another tier 1 ride for fp, or does it have to be 2 tier 2's?

Go to first post in this thread and the red attractions are the tier 1.

MK doesn't tier.

I have a question. When we were at MK today, I attempted to change a FP for 11am pp to SM. When I went to the change experience it stated, experiences available for 11-12. With a list and SM on it. When I changed it, I was given a 9pm return time. Is this normal? I went to a kiosk and the CMs basically said I was Out of luck. They couldn't do anything and that's how it has always been. I know It used to tell you it had no availability for the time if no rides were available. I'm so confused. I don't want to mess up again with my FP. Is this always the case now with the app? Sorry to ramble Mesa.
Thanks,
Tina

So we can do any three fast passes at MK?!?! That's good news!

 

[Mfischee]

What happens when you have a scheduled fast pass and the ride breaks down or is closed during that time?

Yup...and it's awesome!

We were about to get on TT with FP+ in Dec when it broke down. They gave us a paper FP for TT that was good anytime over a several day period. I have heard of others, recently, getting a 'super FP+' which seems to be good for any ride that day (I think) and you have to select a ride at kiosk. Ride has to be down the entire period of your FP+. Maybe Mesa can clarify if I am wrong.

I know it was in there somewhere, but I am trying to ONLY book 1 FastPass+ at a time (we do all of the rides, but WDW agent on their hotline told me not to use the FP+ for the PoTC, HM, etc. Basically, if you didn't FP before, don't bother now) and when I try to book ONE it will force me to book 2 additionals...sometimes something like a princess attraction when I have a 15 year old male who wouldn't do a chick-thing unless the world were ending and it was required by "upper management".

If I "accept" their suggested attraction(because they are usually attached to the time I need) then I am stuck with two FP+ to things I will never use and therefore, can't get anymore FP+ until those EXPIRE...

I really don't think I am going to like having to plan my vacation this far in advance. We go at least 3 times a year to Disney and like to leave one park if it gets too crowded and go to another, on a whim. This is going to cramp our style having to worry about times (remembering them???) and schedules and kind of takes the vacation casual right out of our vacation.

Accept the three the system offers, then modify the attractions and times you don't like to what you want.
