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

[Annette_C]

So, if I understand correctly, you book your 3 FP+ in advance for only one park. But then, if you decide to go to another later, can you get FP+ at the local kiosks?

 

[Jane1967]

No, they only allow you to get 3 per day in one park only. I had read somewhere that some lucky people were being allowed to get 4. Don't know if it was a test or glitch. Guess it never hurts to try at a kiosk...maybe you will be a lucky one!

I tried reading as many replies as I could but, with 59 pages, I'd be here a few days! I apologize in advance if this was asked before but what happens if someone wants to park-hop? What if you want to do one park in the am and one in the pm, as long as the FP+ times do not coincide, why can't we do it? Thanks!

I wrote the first section of the OP to help with questions like yours.

Is there a limit to the amount of days that you can Fastpass+ per trip? We will be staying 7 nights but at the parks for 8 days. Will we be able to make all 8 days of fastpass+ selections at 60 days out?

You can make FP+ selections for as many days as you have tickets. So if you have an 8 day ticket, you can make 8 days of FP+ selections. You have to have your ticket linked to your MDE account to make any FP+ selections though.

Do the days have to be continuous? We have 8 day tickets but will be there for 10 days with a down day in-between. Will we be able to skip over that day and make our FP+ selections through the end of our trip?

I'd like to know this too. We are book ending a cruise. We have a 5 day tickets but will be doing 3 days before the cruise and 2 days after (4 days in between). We have 2 different resort reservations obviously. Will I be able to make FP+ selections for all 5 days at the 60 day mark of our 1st day?

Yes, you will be able to skip over days. I just did that when I set up my trip. I have a five day ticket, but will be there for seven days.

Thank you!

What's the "'ghost' room loophole"?

People have been booking an onsite room for one night but not actually staying in the room in order to be able to book FP+ ahead of time.

Ahhh....sneaky!

I thought I have heard you are limited to 7 rolling days. So if you have tickets for more than 7 days in the parks, you can only make 7 days worth of FP+'s at a time, and add another day as you use one. I know AP holders have this issue, and I hear it often with international travelers (who tend to have longer than a 7 day stay). Not sure if it applies to other ticket types as well.

I heard this too, but I assumed it was referring to AP.

Anyone know the answer to this for sure?

We have 9 days in WDW and are staying at POR. Bought it as a package. Are we limited to 7 days too?

Technology is not my friend. I made my FP+ selections for my May trip. If I want to go back and check that I wrote down the correct times/make sure they haven't mysteriously been changed, is there a way to see them without clicking on the 'change experience' link? Or do I need to act like I am changing them to see a listing? Thanks from a clueless technophobe!

Yes! Go to My Disney Experience and hit Itinerary! It should list your FP+ along with your other plans in a list you can scroll through...

My understanding is that if you stay onsite you can book 60 days out for the entire stay if you have tickets that cover the entire stay. This is also true of AP holders with onsite reservations.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong...

I just purchased one of our park tickets at the Disney Store in my city and just linked it to my MDE account. For some reason I thought you only needed to link one ticket in your party to make FP+ selections on there and then "invite" you friends and family. I invited my dad but it still says he needs his own park ticket linked to there. So, I guess everyone does have to have there park tickets linked to book FP+ online??

Yes, that is true! When everyone gets their tickets you can copy your fastpass + selections to them. The only caveat is the times may change or the FP+ may run out for that day... so tell everyone to hurry!

After talking to a CM in the IT department yesterday, the rationale is that even with the Legacy FP system you had to have a pass to have entered the park... so therefore, no one who does not have a theme park ticket or AP would be in the parks anyway...

Thanks! Yeah, that's what I thought. I think we'll order our magic bands without booking the FP+ for now. Then after we get the other ticket (It's just my dad and I) we'll see what we FP+ selections we can make. So, if you do that after we order the magic bands, I assume we'll be able to link those selections to our bands once we get down there?

Also, are the magic bands automatically sent out on the 30 day mark? I tried to order them now (even though I have a few days left) and I couldn't find any option to do so.

Whenever you are done customizing your bands they will be shipped on a schedule. (It should tell you on the website when they will ship.) A lot depends also on how far ahead you are making your plans. I have already customized bands for May and October.

If I were you, I would go ahead and pick your FP+ for yourself and then copy later to your Dad's. It should not be hard to add just one person to your plans. It becomes a real pain, when you are trying to copy to 6 or more!
