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

[alan_renfroe]

Sorry if this has been asked already.
When I booked my 180 day ADR for BOG (via telephone), I was offered reserved seating for Wishes - obviously I said yes.
Now that my 60 day window approaches, I'm wondering -will this count towards one of my 3 FP+ choices? I have the reference no for it, but it isn't showing up in MDE anywhere.
Thanks

No, your FP+ does not count against your alloted 3 FP+ for rides. They are totally separate.

Hi Mesaboy!

I just saw another thread that is saying MDX just changed their process and now you can edit all your FP+ selections at once instead of having to go in and do them one by one. I wanted to let you know since #8 in your original post discusses that. I don't know if you have a way to confirm or not, but I wanted to share!

Trying to read through the 40 plus pages about the fast pass+ and what I do not see is anyone who has information on the success of getting a fast pass at any park if you could not link your tickets until the day you checked into your resort. It would seem that if you had purchased tickets elsewhere i.e. UT then you would have to wait to schedule a fast pass when you have checked in. Am I making sense of this. Also if this is true will there really be any times left if visitors ,who have purchased their tickets through the Disney site, have already allotted their three fast passes at the 60 day mark. Am I getting this right? Just wondered how successful I will be in getting anything when I have to wait.

We had no problems getting them up to a week before pres day, just less available times. As long as you can do it before that park day you should be able to get all the rides you want. No matter where you purchase your tickets, as long as you have actual tickets you should be able to link them. Even a ticket purchase confirmation will work according to Disney.

Shouldn't really sat no problems but I attributed all of it to glitches etc. But I was eventually able to get what I wanted. If you don't see the ride or time you want keep checking back. People change things a lot especially day of

Confirmations work but only of they are Disney confirmations. One friend bought through Disney and the other thru UT and we were able to link the Disney ticket but will have to wait until UT ticket is in hand. I read on the boards where UT will email a picture of the back of the ticket but unfortunately not until ticket was on its way. And so we wait.

The Central Plaza Viewing Area is directly in front of Cinderella Castle. There should be a roped-off area with CMs at one end checking people in.

This needs to be a sticky

Last year we had MB's and loved them. This year we will be staying at Shades of Green with AP's. How will we access the FP line if we do not have MB's after we go to the kiosk??

You can link your APs to MDE and schedule Fp+ ahead of time because you have MagicBands. Make sure your MagicBands are linked to your MDE account and you can enter the parks using your MagicBands as well as enter Fp+ lines using your MagicBands.

I hope it is OK to ask a non-FP+ question here! This has to do with MDX. My ADRs all appear in the section called My Reservations, but in the section called My Plans one is missing. I have a reservation number, so I am not too concerned, but I would still like to see it listed in My Plans. Is this worth calling them about ( especially since my trip isn't until the summer) or should I just wait until just before my 60 day FP+ date?
Hopefully, I will have (another!!) snow day on Monday and will be able to get caught up on this wonderful thread!

I reserved 2 fastpasses for HS today - one with a 10 minute window (Little Mermaid), one with 15 minutes (Dis JR). What the what?!?

TSMM was still an hour. Has anyone else seen this?

Is that because they are shows with actual show times?

Those are shows. Since they have set times when they start, it wouldn't make sense for the window to be an hour.

I wondered if that was why. Will be booking the rest of the passes tonight, so I'll see how that goes. Thanks for the insight!

Can either of you tell me how I can be notified when someone responds to my posts? I'm not currently, and it can be hard for me to go back and find my questions/responses. I know there must be an easier way!

What works best for me is this:

On the top left hand corner of the screen, you'll find a the words "User CP" in the blue bar. Click the link, and go to "Your subscriptions." You're subscribed to any thread in which you've posted, so that list should contain what you're looking for.

If my computer isn't having a hissy fit, the replies I haven't seen yet will be in boldface; the old ones won't.

You can link your APs to MDE and schedule Fp+ ahead of time because you have MagicBands. Make sure your MagicBands are linked to your MDE account and you can enter the parks using your MagicBands as well as enter Fp+ lines using your MagicBands.

Sorry for being a 'goober'-but what is MDE?? Thanks for your help

You can go to the Disney site and register. You can list who's going, your ADRs, your resort reservation, order your magic bands-- all of it in one place.
