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

[Koh1977]

I have a very unique situation that I hope someone has an answer for. We have an extremely large party going (that seems to continue to grow). Right now we are at 7 rooms (on different reservations) with 26 people. When picking FP+ can we link all of these to just one so we can easily pick our FP rides? Also, it seems highly likely that we may run into issues of not having available times with so many people in our group. For example 26 tickets for "X" hour on Space Mountain seems like we would run into issues, am I right? Is there a better way to do this with such a large party? Does it just flat out deny the request or does it split the group up into different times such as 10 people at "X" time and the following 16 people at the next slot? Thanks in advance!

I would plan on maybe a few rides together (probably have to do overlapping times so you'd have a shorter window whe everyone could go together) but not all FPs used for same rides for everyone...?

I was able to get them for 18 people across 3 rooms with no problem- for A&E we have staggered times, but for all the other rides we have the same time slot. I made my reservation and copied it to the rest of the party to get the reservations. You could try selecting everyone and doing it at once as well. Then if people do not want the same ride, individuals can change to something else during the same time slot. If you are planning to be together a lot, definitely have one person make and/or copy all the reservations at once. It is far easier to make them and change them than to have all the individual parties try and match up days and time slots! We tried that and it is very difficult!

On Wednesday, June 4th, I have a 9:45 ADR at Akershus. So far, my FP+ for the day are

Soarin' 11:05-12:05
Mission Space 12:10-1:10
Spaceship Earth 1:25-2:25

My plan as of now is to do Test Track at rope drop before heading back to Norway for breakfast. I do worry that we'll be cutting it close since Test Track is around 20 minutes, and that's not accounting for how long we may wait in line.

Here's what I'm considering: switching Soarin out for Test Track, and moving Spaceship Earth FP up to 9-10 AM slot. Kind of using it as a throwaway FP but actually using it to ride SE before breakfast. Then once we finish Mission Space, we can book Soarin' for the evening when we return after our afternoon break. (Switching to Test Track since it is by Mission Space and cuts out some walking. And because I like Test Track better!)

So, do you think it will be possible to get a Soarin' FP for the evening after we use our third FP around noon?

Editing: And now I'm thinking of FP+ for Test Track first thing in the morning instead of SE rather than hoping for a short line at RD. Hmmm.

Can you tell me the average wait time when using the FP for Elsa and Ana? Thanks

Since its 4th of July,I think all bets are off regarding the availability of a 4th FP for a tier 1 ride later in the day...but this is just my opinion on a plan...

I think you should FP test track at park open but run there in hopes of getting on without your FP. If you are able to get inline fast enough, use your phone to try to switch that FP for Soarin. Then keep your other two for whenever you want. if you have to use your TT FP, then you will likely be standing in line for soarin.....at which case, you may want to adjust the times of your other rides if possible and head to soarin whenever you think the wait will be lower...I think you are more likely to be able to move your tier 2 than get an extra tier 1 that day....

Oh, goodness no-- JUNE 4th, not July 4th! I'm not that crazy!

Regardless, I think your plan sounds like a good one. Have TT FP+ secured to go if needed, and then switch it for Soarin' if we end up not needing it. Thank you!

Most are reporting 10-15 minutes or so.

Adjusting FP+ question.

I canceled a FP+ for 2 members in our party. My intention was to go back in and book a new attraction for them. When I go in under 'Change' it wants me to select 3 new attractions. It seems like I will lose existing ones (yikes).

Should I be going in under a different option? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Ok. So I've made all of my FP+ reservations via the actual web page. My issue is when I pull up "My plans" in the ap, it won't show either the SDMT or the Meet and Greet with Anna and Elsa. Is this a known issue? Should I call and ask? I logged in to the actual we page and everything shows up perfectly.

These two do not typically appear on the app. The website is more reliable.

Try upgrading your app.

Thank you for the great information. Sorry if this has been asked already, but I didn't see it.

5 of us have 7 day tickets at the moment (all on one reservation), so I know that I can book 7 days of FP+ at 60 days. One member of the party may not be able to stay the entire time, but I won't know that until the trip is closer.

If that happens, I would like to downgrade the days on that ticket. Since we are all on the same package, will I have to downgrade all the tickets for everyone in the group and then add back days for the 4 people when we get there? And if I do that, will I lose all the FP+ I made in advance.

Hope this isn't too confusing! TIA.

Does missing a FP affect things differently than actually scanning to get in a FP line? For example, I schedule 3 FP+, one of which I don't really care about, so I "miss" it. Can I now get a 4th FP for another tier 1 ride? Or do I have to first rebook my "missed" ride? If it doesn't matter, can I schedule the 4th FP as soon as my 3rd window opens up? Or do I have to wait until it closes?
Thanks! Hope that makes sense.

After days of constant checking, I scored an A&E FP for our 3rd MK day. But when I tried to copy it to my DD's account, it said standby only. What do I do now? Just keep trying and pray for another one at the same time?

You can schedule a 4th fast pass as long as you:
1. Use at least one FP+
2. Wait for the others to expire.

As long as the window expires for the ride you skipped, you should be able to make your 4th.

Not to open up "a can of worms", but there have been reports of cancelling a FP+ (or two) to score a 4th FP+ for a headliner earlier (before they sell out...). I believe this can only be done from the web MDE.

Thanks for explanation. My real goal here is to ride Soarin' (already have FP), then ride Maelstrom once we are in World Showcase. So, I booked 3 FP for the morning. My third one expires at 12:20 but I think that's something we will ride earlier without a FP. We will be in WS by 11:30 for ADR and don't want to hike back to book 4th FP. Was kinda hoping we could book the 4th FP for Maelstrom at 11:20 when the window opens before we pass all the kiosks.

I think I'm understanding this all better after reading so many comments, but just in case I'm going to ask.. if after you use you 3 FP+, can you have anymore for the day? For example..If I go to MK in the morning, we use our 3 FP, then we decide to go to another park, can we after using the 1st 3 go by a kiosk and make a FP for later at the other park??
Hope I explain this ok, sounds good in my head anyway,lol

Yes, you now can.

As long as:
Your first three have been used or the time has expired
You are physically in the park you want to make the additional I was for
There are any available

I think even if you don't use all 3 or their time has expired, you can make one in another park...don't feel you have to wait for them to expire to get anew be after hopping...
