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

[BlueFairy]

We've chosen A&E at 11am, ETWB at 12:10, and MSEP at 8:40. Park closes at midnight. We're planning for RD on a non-EMH day in August. Can someone suggest

a)would you adjust times (busy b/t 2:30 and 7 with parades and rest break)?

b) since ETWB wait times seem to be running at 30 minutes lately (best I can tell) should we drop that in favor of PP FP+?

pardon my ignorance, but RD?

arriving at the park entrance prior to Rope Drop - the actual time that the park opens to guests. Lately it's usually a few minutes before 9 am.

Just wanted to say thank you. I completed my FP+ ressies for the end of Aug last night. Thanks to Messa and everyone else here, it went very smoothly.

Hi...a question about FP. We are coming with DD5 and DS9...so not only 4 years apart, but different interest with a boy and a girl. When it works, we will be going on rides / attractions together, but there will be some where DH will take DS and I will take DD.

SO my question...does it complicate things to not book the same 3 FP attractions for our entire family? i.e. DS and DH would be the same and DD and me would be the same, but perhaps only one of those FP selections would be common between all four of us.

Can you only make 5 days of reservations at a time?

My window just opened and made the first 5 days. When can I finish the next 5?

TIA.

I was able to do all 10 days yesterday. You should be able to scroll to find the other days.

I was able to set them up for 5 of us. Most of the time our FP+'s are identical but occasionally my DD18 and her friend have different ones from us and that was no problem. We even have one instance where they are on one ride, my DD12 and I are on something else and my DW is on a third thing. It wasn't super-obvious how to move things around but as I set them up and my confidence with the system increased I saw you can basically do whatever you want and it is smart enough to manage the 3 unique rides we get on an individual basis.

Are you doing a split stay? That would open up your available dates at different times.

This. The key is just set something up when they do it for you at first, and then you go in and do all kinds of editing, whatever you want. It won't even give you all the perfect times you want at first, but with editing you can do whatever you want.
Also, I found that a week after making my FP's, times I couldn't get the week before are now available.

Great, thank you both

No not a split stay. The next icon at the bottom of the page is not available for me to do anything?

We fly in on 9/24 but our flight doesn't land until 7:45pm. So it will be a no park day. DH and I are staying 3 additional days but my son's family will be leaving on 9/29 so we all have 5 day PH tickets (DH are going to upgrade ours when we get there).
My question is, since we have 5 day tickets and we check in on 9/24 but won't start using our tickets till 9/25, how will the the FP bookings work. We actually need our FP's on 9/25-9/29 and not on 9/24. Will that be a problem when we start booking our FP+???

You can book 0 or you can book 3, so you'd just start booking your 3pp/per day on Sept 25. It will allow you to book as many days as your tickets are good for. My mom and sister have 7 day tix and my husband has 8 day tix (I have an AP.) We booked for our first night and all 6 of our days and then I tried to book for our last day (since we weren't sure if we'd do them the arrival day or the departure day, so I wanted to book both just in case.) It would only allow my husband and I to book them on the departure day since my mom and sister already had 7 days of FP+ booked and only had 7 day tix.

Thank you, just making sure I understand completely. So I can start my 1st day of FP's to start on the 25th? and I can book my 5 days of FP+ from 9/25, 26, 27, 28 & 29 and don't need to worry about the 24th? I just don't want to be limited to booking the 24th-28th

You are not required to book your FP on consecutive days, or to start them on your check in day. So say you are there for 8 nights and have a 5 day ticket. You can book your FP on days 2, 3, 5, 6, 7. The system would not allow you to book for day 8 as you used up your 5 days already. You can mix in you park days however you want

Hi y'all!!! This thread has 150 pages on my iPad app .... I've read several pages with amazing information.... Thank you!!!! However my 60 days is July 7th which is coming up quickly for my first time booking FP+,... -and I'm wondering if someone could tell me which page to look at for instructions on how to actually MAKE the FP+on the system?? I just read something about copying your FP to everyone in your group.... How do you do this? I'm kind of freaking out.... And I'm prepared to try and read this entire thread if I must, but if someone could Assist in directing me that would be fabulous !!!!!! Thank you in advance!
