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

[Jane1967]

The only thing that would cause your FP to be used is if you scan your MB/ticket by going through the FP queue. If you don't use it or go through the standby queue the system will not deduct your FP, and you can still reschedule it after the fact.

Thank you for explaining. Haven't used the new system yet. Spent some time last night looking at your FP lists. Still have a month to decide, but am trying to get everyone's imput.

So......at MK can we ONLY pick ONE FP+ ride from the mountains?? OR can we choose all three to be Space, Splash and Thunder?

 

[Jane1967]

By looking at page 1 of this thread it looks like you can pick all 3 as MK has no tiering. You are in luck!!

Thanks Hoping the tiering at the other two parks goes away.

I just read in another thread that there are now half hour windows, is that correct? The thread was not clear whether this was all or some attractions, or which ones.

Sorry I am asking this again, but it got buried!

That would be pretty noteworthy. Are you sure they weren't trying to say the 1 hour windows were starting every 30 minutes or something?

I completely agree that it would be noteworthy, which is why I am trying to confirm it!

This was discussed in THIS THREAD. A quote:

Half hour windows were made available at the end of last week.The change was made at the same time they began allowing you to change all of your windows at the same time. But while we were there the Concierge desk had half hour windows and that was great for rides that were closer together like BTMRR and HM.

The bolded part makes it sound like what's meant is half-hour increments between FP return windows, not the length of the return window itself. A shorter time frame between return windows would be beneficial for rides close together, not a shorter return window.

So you think they are saying that they could get this:

BTMRR 3:15 - 4:15

HM 3:45 - 4:45

??

I don't think you can get overlapping return windows. What I'm thinking is:

BTMRR 3:15 - 4:15

HM 4:45 - 5:45

 

[wendy3]

That doesn't make sense either, because you could already

BTMRR 3:15-4:15

HM 4:15-5:15

Are you sure it doesn't mean 30 minute windows:

BTMRR 3:15-3:45

HM 3:45 - 4:15

That makes more sense to me

That was already okay. That would not be a change.

BTMRR 3:15-3:45

HM 3:45 - 4:15

That makes more sense to me

That's the way I read it, too, but that would be BIG news, so since it's not yet on this thread, I asked for clarification on the thread I linked earlier. I'll report back if the PP who reported it responds.

Someone on another thread said that as of this week, if you've pre-booked FP+ you can now book additional fastpasses on the day once you've used your three. Does anyone have any info on this please?

 

[Mufasa&Simba]

If you have a smart phone you can make changes as you go and as long as other options are available to you. If not, you can also make changes at a FP+ kiosk. You can also make changes if you arrive at a ride and there's no wait. Quickly change your FP+ to something else. We found the system quite flexible, forgiving, and fluid.

I wouldn't just not show up because then you're wasting your FP+. Try to change it if you can.

Have fun!

Thanks! Yes, I have an iPod Touch I use in the parks. I used it for the last visit just to check ride wait times and was very convenient.

I sat with a friend yesterday and watched him book FP+ for 7 days of his upcoming 9 day trip.

He has an AP, but has never stayed on site.

He got an email that said he could participate because he has ADRs.

He was able to book 7 days worth and edit them freely. He has been checking every day since January 17 (his 60 day mark), yesterday was different ... Everything opened up to him.

I was happy for him, because I didn't want him to have to use the kiosks during high attendance times. That is one test he was thankful to get out of.

I hope they stay in his account, and it isn't another glitch.

Any other reports of this working again?

That info comes from one single poster who posts it over and over.
While anything is possible, consider that if it WAS true, we'd see dozens of reports from excited guests on this and other fan sites.

But, we don't.

Thanks for the info. I saw a single post yesterday, saying it had only happened that day. So I asked the question, rather than just believed it. I don't actually spend my whole life reading fan sites!

Anybody know anything about this? This is different than what is posted on the first page of this wonderful thread.

I try to keep up with reports like this, and generally wait until there is a clear and intentional change to MDE before updating the OP. I am watching the AP and offsite situations with interest.

I thought maybe this was significant. We were both very surprised when everything opened. I can confirm that my off site friend has never stayed onsite, and was able to book 7 days based on an AP and ADR. I watched it all unfold.

I also read the email that he received that pointed him that direction. It specifically said, "because of advanced dining reservation".

Maybe others will start reporting.
