There has been / is an update to the My Disney Experience app (I'm on IOS devices). It is suppose to simplify choosing FP+. I'm too far out from my arrival date to be able to schedule a FP+. Would appreciate any feedback from those trying the updated app on an iPad or an iPhone.

For me, it was MUCH better. The app was freezing before, and now it works. It does seem simpler/clearer now too. I really like the app. HTH.

It updated this morning on our phones while we were in the parks, got back to room and one of the people in our group had disappeared from mde all together. I spent almost 2 hours on phone including getting disconnected twice to straighten it out. We are headed back to park now to use our fp times, hoping its all there

I'm getting ready to do my FP+ tonight and I know that they are in one hour increments, but are they always on the hour, or can you choose on the half hour (10:30-11:30,ie)?

They will give you very awkward times to pick from, like...

10:25-11:25
11:55-12:55
1:20-2:20

You just pick things that work out close to what you want. I didn't have any trouble getting things close enough to my plan that it basically worked for what I was going for.

Great- thank you!!

I'm please to confirm I was able to make FP+ reservations for my entire length of stay at the Dolphin from May 31-June 6!

Swan and Dolphin guests now have the same exact FP+ priority as other onsite guests!!!

Great timing, Disney Powers That Be!!

Now you do what I call 'research.' Read reviews, TRs, cruise the boards, watch the weekly news & tips videos: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7SjQGMropNWcVKwtwVQkbg. Knowledge is power.

So True!

Exciting news, "although there are now solid indications this limitation will change, however no one knows when that will happen yet." Thanks for update.

Interesting . . . . . However, for those of us who park hop, getting more FP after we have used our allotted 3 is fairly useless. We scheduled our FP for our 2nd park of the day, so still can not get FP at our 1st park. Even if we schedule our FP for the 1st park, we can not get additional FP until we head to our 2nd park, which is later in the day. I don't know, it just doesn't seem to solve the problem for us. Maybe if they figure out a system to get our FP at more than 1 park. We will see what the changes are. I'm sure it will all work out in the end!

Did you read the entire quote? Park hopping is on their radar for FP+ and they're working on it. I'll be there the end of June - hoping to hop!

Tom Staggs, Chairman Walt Disney Parks and Resorts said in the blog post, “We also heard that other guests liked the fact that with the FastPass+ service they could use FASTPASS when they park hopped. So we’re working on a service enhancement to add that feature to FastPass+ as well."
