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

[SRUAlmn]

We are "between" having AP's in that our APs just expired and we purchased AP vouchers that we do not plan to activate until our next visit in October. Will we be able to make FP+'s before our trip or have to wait until we activate the APs on our first day? If we CAN do FP+s before our trip, will the APs be considered "activated" prior to our trip on the day that we make the FP+ reservations?

I can answer half of your question, but the other half is what I'm still trying to figure out (see my post at the bottom of the previous page.)

As for the first half of your question.... I currently have an AP voucher and I was able to link it in MDX. We make FP+ reservations on Sunday, and it seems as though my voucher will work fine. I've practiced with "fake" reservations and it has let me do it, and every CM I've spoken to says I should be good to go.

Not at all! We now have 10 magic bands and 3 AP's. All of our FP+ stuff is linked to my MDE account. It also shows all the MBs and APs. I got my AP MBs about a week after I got the Pop MB's for our trip so I am bringing both sets of bands (and the Passport cards just to be safe) and asking to have everything activated on our AP bands so we can just keep using those. The other 4 band are from our Dec trip so I will deactivate them and see if they recycle. In theory this should work, lol

Ok, so everything is stored in our MDX account, so when we activate our APs they'll basically just link the active AP to our MDX account, therefore keeping all of our FP+ reservations? Also, when I go to the park to activate it, do I take the voucher and my Magic Band?

ADRs do not interact scheduling wise with your FP+ times. So they can overlap.

Ok great, thank you!

Thanks for that information. It is encouraging. My only concern is that I don't want to have the voucher activate 60 days early by making the FP+ selections, but I suppose that may not be the case.

Yes! I would definitely bring your voucher. Better to have it and not need it than need and not have it

So my FP+ 60 day window opened up today. Everything was going in well until I got this message on four in my party of seven :"This Guest currently has the maximum number of FastPass+ selections that can be confirmed based on the number and type of tickets associated to their MyDisneyExperience account. If new FastPass+ selections are made for this day, you will be given the opportunity to trade them for another set of previously confirmed FastPass+ selections."

What the heck is that even supposed to mean? We all have the same exact FP+ for the other days leading up to this particular day, so how can four people have reached the "limit" on a day I haven't yet scheduled anything. We are using our APs which don't expire before that date either. So how do I fix this so I can finish what I was doing??

So I called IT and after 45 minutes on the phone with a great CM, he was able to fix the issue and I am now finishing up scheduling my fp+

Has anybody been able to book a FP+ for Lion King yet?

And has anyone else had issues with the app? It tells me the FP+ are only for 1 person each basically, but if I go on the website, it's correct (with all 4 of us or just DH and DS or whatever I originally booked).

If I remember, it shows the FP+ info for that person's account, but they're was an option to show everybody in your party. I'll have to go into the app to remember where that was.

From everything I've been told, booking FP+ will not activate your AP since that can only be done in person at the parks. I book mine Sat at midnight, so I'll let you know. Fingers crossed!

Yes! I would definitely bring your voucher. Better to have it and not need it than need and not have it

Thanks so much! Very true!!

I know many people don't agree with this, but this is our first trip and we have 3 small children so I really want a good view and for the kids to be comfortable, so I booked FP for both MSEP and Wishes. Just want to make sure we have time to get from one to the other. What time will the parade end? We can get to wishes spot as early as 9:35

I may have missed this... what happens if a ride you have a FP+ for is closed at your time? Can you go book another? Do you come back later for the closed ride?

Anyone experience this?

Anyone know if the FP+ kiosk locations are denoted on the park maps yet? I'm referring to the ones you grab on the way in. I'm trying to limit the paperwork I need to bring with me to the park. Thanks!

Yes, icons denoting Kiosk locations are on the current Guide Maps

Ok I am sure this has been answered here somewhere but can someone let me know if this will work.

Book 2 FP at Epcot for early in the morning and just let them expire

Then book a FP for soarin at 11.

Go to the park around 11 to use this FP and then immediately after try to grab a 4th FP for TT?

TIA

I would think you could do that if you don't want to use the other 2 FPs.
