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

[wmoon]

Lol. Me neither. I'm working the 3:30am shift at work all week so I'll have to get up a midnight, pick my Fastpasses then try to get couple more hours of sleep. Lol

You should be fine. I did mine on Monday and we are in the uk so I did some 3am Florida time and the rest after work at 3pm Florida time and I got everything I wanted. Ds announced last night he did want to meet Anna and Elsa, I had no problems getting a fp for 12th July at the exact time I wanted. We are 18 nights on site and for some reason it only let me book 14 nights, I phoned the it dept who did the other 4 days and I now have no problem updating or altering them. No mine train yet for your dates though.

Good news everybody!

Apparently my Fastpass booking date is suppose to be May 1st according to the My Disney Experience website. But I checked early this morning (April 30) when I woke up at 3am and I was able to book.

So this is what I got. What do you think? Will any of the times be a problem? I didn't see any problems but I always appreciate someone else's opinion.

Also I would like to mention I did not see Maelstrom at all on the Fastpass+ selections

I think I saw that but only one of the days.
Phone up Disney IT and get them to do your other days. Have to say I didn't get a clear answer of if you can book length of stay or just 14 days.

So this is a question I have not yet seen. We are staying at the Dolphin beginning on July 11 with friends. My question, is more for our friends. They have 2 rooms; one room is for 2 adults, the other is for 3. Tom booked both rooms in his name since he is graciously paying for his adult children's room. For that room of 3, I logged into Tom's account for him and added the names of the kids as family/friends to his profile for him to manage. However, the names of the kids aren't on the physical hotel reservation. Will we still be able to book the Fastpass+ for them at 60 days out? Or am I going to have to have them call the Dolphin and add the kids names to the actual hotel reservation? I don't even know if anyone will understand what I just said, lol.

Ok. Thanks for the tip

That is a very good (and totally understandable question!) I think the main thing for FP+ is that everyone needs to have an AP or Park TICKET linked to their individual names. The hotel reservation does not come into play here. The reason I think this is that I have family members who have days left on their Park Hoppers, but are not going with me on this vacation (not listed on my reservation). Whenever I am copying FP+ to other people who ARE going with me and are on my reservation, if I select "COPY ALL"- then it also copies the FP+ to these people who are not going. So I have to remember to un-check their names when I do a "COPY-ALL". So that is my experience. More experts will chime in here soon I am sure!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! Good to know. I wasn't sure if by not having their names on the reservation, the Disney system wouldn't "believe" so to speak that these 3 people were staying on site. I know on-site, which now includes the Dolphin, can book 60 days versus the 30 days for off-site.

This might be because you had already selected a Tier 1 ride for Epcot. Since Maelstrom is Tier 1 as well, maybe after you selected TT or Soarin' it removed the other 2 from the list?

 

[gometros]

So with the dedication for 7DMT slated for Friday, do you think it will become available for FP+?

I tried swapping out Soarin and TT to look for Maelstrom but it wasn't listed with the Tier 1s

Does anyone know exactly what this is? I am assuming a special viewing area but can't find anywhere where it says where that will be??

I believe the OP says it is in World Showcase Plaza. This is near the twin gift shops at the northern end of the lagoon.

I don't recommend this as a FP option unless you have one to burn and nothing else appeals to you.

In February the Illuminations FP+ viewing area was in front of the Showcase Plaza shop on the right, if you're facing the lagoon. The entry to the area was to the right of the building.

I was playing around with MDE today and just for fun, I looked at FP+ selections for May 5th...no significance, just chose a random date. I was able to make 3, I chose DHS as the park. I requested TSMM, star tours and Indiana jones. It came up with four different options, and included times. I thought we could choose our times? How do we do that? This was done using the app on my iPad.

For the record, TSMM was not a choice in any if the options that popped up.

I just tried that: tsmm, Indy, star tours for May 5, two people. Got 4 sets of (great) times, all including tsmm. Maybe you hit the "button" wrong for tsmm? I'm also on the iPad app.

Regardless, to choose a time for one or more items that you don't like the offered times for, just choose the best of the 4 sets MDE gives you, then go back and choose to modify the time (or experience). HTH

Thanks, I just tried it and it worked. TSMM is available that day for certain times, just not all times of day, which is why it appeared to be unavailable to me (I was looking at times early in the day). Thank you!

OK, this mostly answers my question. I own a timeshare outside of Disney. If I add a single night at a Disney property before my timeshare stay, can I use the 60 day window for my whole stay?

I have no idea about this...perhaps someone can chime in?

Anybody have any idea on this? Thanks!

 

[Koh1977]

Anybody have any idea on this? Thanks!

If you have tickets linked, you should be able to make FP+ for the number of days as the length of your tickets at that 60 day mark (from your on site resort stay).

That is what I was told anyway!
