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

[mesaboy2]

Let me see if I have this.

In MK I can book Space, Splash and BTMR for 1 day as there is no tiers. I could also do the same at AK.

Now at HS I could do Toy Story Mania, TOT and Mermaid?

Also I am offsite so I will need to do this in the parks. Can I pick my hours to do these rides? Or are they done based on relative time like say you have to pick one pre lunch, lunch and after lunch.

You can do those combos of rides, assuming they are available when you select them. I do not know how the FP+ system determines the return windows for each ride, but there are definitely others around here who understand that aspect better than I.

Thank you mesaboy for putting this together, this will help with our trip planning in June!

Thanks mesaboy2 for all of this great info!

Is it possible to know the show times at Hollywood Studios for early March? I want to make sure I don’t schedule my FP times during Lights, Motor, Action! (and don’t think I need to use one of my FPs for that show).

Probably not this early. You can get a general idea from http://wdwent.com/st/st.htm, which gives you exact times for all shows for the current week.

And Lights Motors Action has one of the most consistent show time schedules: (first show at 1:30, 1:20, or 1:10, and second show at 4:10, 4:20, or 4:30; on peak-peak days there may also be a third show in the morning).

Thanks for the info mesaboy2 and g-dad66. This will definitely help me out.

Again, I apologize if this info is in this thread somewhere, but I was wondering if the FP+ times are like the legacy FP ones, for an hour. Does the MB reader reject you if you are early or late? Can you get overlapping times? I was thinking that Soarin, for ex., is such a short ride and if you got a time like 5-6 pm, would you be unable to get Turtle Talk with Crush for 5:30-6:30? Now that I am starting to plan, more questions keep popping into my head! Thanks for your help.

If you need to do rider swap for, say Space Mountain, does everyone who's riding need fp+ scheduled or just the 1st group of riders? I can't find a straight answer anywhere and would hate to only schedule half my group for any fp+ where we're using rider swap if we all need to have it scheduled... Does that make sense?

They are an hour long, and will not allow you to overlap them. The grace period is up to 5 minutes early and up to 15 minutes late, but I would avoid relying on the GP if at all possible.

I'm sorry I don't know, my only understanding is that rider swap works the same way with FP+ as it did with FP.

Added many of the current and basic operational aspects of FP+ to first post.

I am going in April, so my Fastpass+ window begins next week. I have had three different answers from Disney on the phone this week. Does it start at midnight or 6:00 the next morning?

Thanks & sorry if this has already been addressed. I looked back and didn't see it.

I've read on other threads that it begins at midnight, presumably ET. That said, I don't think there's much risk of TSM or Soarin' running out of FPs within hours (or even days) of the time they become available.

Definitely earlier than 6:00 am, because I got on at 5:35 am (Disney World time).

Don't know about midnight because I was still asleep!

Thank you mesaboy for such a helpful thread and for keeping it updated. I apologize if this has already been answered, but I have a question about the 60 day window. Can you make your FP+ reservations for your entire stay on that date or do you have to reserve them for each day on its own 60 day date?
Hope that made sense. Thanks!

At the 60 day point for my arrival day, I was able to make FP + reservations for each day of my trip. But my trip is only 5 days long. If I were staying for 2 weeks, for example, don't know if I could have made FP+ for all 2 weeks at the 60 day point for my arrival day.

Not sure if this should be a resort post or here, but does Shades of Green qualify for the wristbands for FP+? I know they get extra magic hours.
