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

[mesaboy2]

I too am really stressing over this. We're not going until September, so hopefully lower crowds will make the FP+ for A & E a bit easier to get. I still will be up at midnight, though. Also, can anyone tell me how close to the return windows you actually will meet them? We are planning a 10:30 CP breakfast, and I was thinking about doing A&E before this. With a return window of 9-10 (if I can get it), will we make our 10:30 ADR?

No problem.

just to be clear on the FP+ rules.. as an AP holder right now I am only able to book 30 days out. but we have resort reservations at the end of July, today is 61 days to go,

1. so does this mean tonight at midnight Florida time the FP+ will change and I can book 60 days out?

2. will it be 60+ my resort booking (4 days) or just the first day?

1. That's what I would expect. Let us know if that is not your experience.

2. I would think it's up to 7 days (the AP max) past the first day of your resort stay, but not sure. Would also be interested in your real-life experience here.

You should be able to do them for the whole group just like you did your initial 3 FPs.

Sorry, another question about our upcoming family reunion.

I've asked everyone to get a MDE account, and have invited everyone to link.

My 2 adult nieces have done so successfully.

According to my MDE, I " control the accounts" of the other 4 adults, other than my husband,who we'll be traveling with. But it doesn't say that they " can view my plans"....I think their invitations are pending.

What needs to be done for me to book everyone's FPs next week?

We were able to successfully make ADRs and fastpasses for my parents, whose reservations are linked to ours, but do not have MDE accounts of their own, without a problem. They don't plan on using MDE though......they shy away from "all that technology stuff." Lol! You should be able to make plans for them, but I think they'll have to accept the invite for sure to view.

That's what I'm thinking.

Maybe I'll call disney tonight to be sure.

Thanks!

I was told that I needed to invite my friend and have her accept, then she needed to invite me and I had to accept - we had access to each other the whole trip. My DH and DS came up on the reservations and when I made my ADR's I entered their names, so they were automatically managed by me, they did not have their own accounts. When I take my DM, I will just set her up on mine so she doesn't need to deal with that.

just to be clear on the FP+ rules..

I was in the same boat as you (AP holder), though my 60 days hit today. I have resort reservations 7/20-7/27. Was able to book all days of my stay for FP+. (though I didn't book anything for the last day, as we are flying out early) Basically got everything we wanted, and I didn't get online until about 9:00am.

Now, I'm second guessing myself, as my 3 yr old nephew will be with us, and wondering if I should book the Character Spot at Epcot with FP+?? That place always seems to be the most efficient to hit the main characters. I hadn't thought of FP+, and was hoping the lines aren't horrible without it. If anyone has recent experience, would be delighted to hear about it!

@MCBane
thats great news!!

I wake up about 4:30am CMT so hopefully I will score some good stuff. Do you happen to know if Ana and Elsa were available?
we are doing a solo kid only trip, leaving our older boys at Church camp and Frozen is our little mans favorite right now so this is one of the main things we want to do.

According to the Mickey Monitor that came last week, with a resort stay an ap holder will be able to book FP+ at 60 days for up to 7 days or the duration of your stay, whichever is longer.

Luckily for us, my own kids are a bit older, and don't think my nephew cares about Frozen yet. So I really didn't look at them for any dates and haven't paid much attention to the Frozen madness.

That being said, I did just go through the motions to change my FP for 7/22, and looked for you. There are times available on that day. I didn't go too much into it, as I was nervous I'd confirm and mess up!! So, hopefully you will have some openings!! Hope that helps!

I have to tell you, I don't think A&E are as difficult as people think. I had to redo my FP choices for June 6 and both A&E and 7DMT were both still available.

Weird I'm showing no availability for A&E on June 26th. Lol. Didn't need there to be. I was moving my 7DMT to a different time so it wouldn't conflict with the parade. Fortunately there were plenty of times for that.

By the way guys I've noticed that while the APP puts times in a random order. The browser does not. It gives you a drop down menu of times with your current time on top but all other times in the proper order.

The app on the other hand almost tricked me into booking a very late FP from midnight to 1 am.

Dumb question alert!!!! My FP+ window opens Saturday (or 11pm on Fri...). For those of you who have used both the regular website MDX and the app version on an android phone, which did you find easier to maneuver? Or did it matter? I am leaning toward using my laptop to book the FP+ but want to make sure there isn't some easier version on my app. Does this even make sense? I just need the easiest version to navigate since I have not done any "pretend" bookings and I will be either really tired from staying up late...or really tired from getting up extra early and not having my coffee kick in before fumbling thru FP+ ressies.

I think the website is more reliable than the MDX app--though my experience with the app has been on iOS devices.

I agree! I found the laptop to be much easier, especially because I had to go back and a lot of editing!

I agree with this also. Editing and moving times is much easier on a computer browser or even on a tablet browser than it is on the app.
