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

I think the MSEP FP is an okay choice, more because of the location than anything else. I think Wishes is a poor choice, because the location isn't that great and it doesn't save time. These are my opinions only, reasonable people can disagree.

Are they the same viewing location? If not, could we just stay put in the MSEP viewing area and wait for Wishes to start? Is that allowed or will we be told to exit the area?

They are not the same location--please see the first post. You can stay after the parade, but that spot is not great for the fireworks because it is too close to the castle and some fireworks are obscured.

<snip> Needless to say, I can pre-set my FP for Fri-Wed (according to MDE site), but I can't do it for my daughter since we don't have her ticket yet. I guess there is just no point to me having a FP reservation if I can't get hers until her ticket arrives and I tie it to the reservation. <snip>

Somebody chime in to validate or refute this:

From what I gathered, there is a way to copy FP+ reservations from one guest to another. So if you (or me, I'm in a very similar situation) make all our FP+ reservations in advance, once we are able to make them for our family members, we can "copy" them. I'm not sure how availability plays into this. I think I recall somebody mentioning that they did this and some times changed a bit.

Can someone please tell me how you can copy your FP+ to others that are linked in your party? I am not able to make my reservations for a few more days, but I am trying to educate myself on how all of this works. Is there a copy button? My head has been spinning trying to figure out how all of this works. I am so glad I have all of you knowledgeable people and especially this amazing thread to help me!!

I know!! I wish there was a way to practice before your booking day arrives!!

You CAN practice. If you have tickets linked to MDE you can make FP+ reservations 30 days out, even for days that are not really part of your trip. I am staying on site and my 60-day FP+ window for our actual trip doesn't open until Sunday, but I've been able to make selections for any date within the next 30 days (I'm sure this is limited to the number of days on my ticket, but I've only tried to do a day or two for practice). You can do this for practice, and then go cancel your selections so as not to take slots from people who will really be there those days.

To copy selections, go back to the main FP+ menu, select view or modify existing selections, then select copy from one party member to another.

Mesaboy....need your opinion please. I have had all my FP's done for a few weeks. Starting to get worried about a HS choice. I did a FP for Tower of Terror and am now wondering if I should switch it to Toy Story instead. ??? We love both....I am at a loss.

Not sure if Mesa is on right now... ToT is Tier 2 and TSMM is Tier 1. You won't be able to switch them as they make you remain in the same tier for switching/changing.

Oh, ok...for some reason I thought they were in the same Tier. Wonder if I can change it by calling? Thanks!

No, even calling won't help as they won't override the tiered system for you. What is your Tier 1 choice? RnRC?

If you go in at rope drop, you can ride Toy Story with a short standby wait.

Yes, I just looked and I did RnRC. I guess that was what I REALLY meant. So what do you think?

I would switch to TSMM and do standby early in the day for RnRC, or, even single rider for RnRC.

Thank you so much for this information on the copy !!

Thanks!! That sounds like a fun way to spend this pouring Friday night off to give it a try!

I agree with my friend Itinkso here. Sorry, can't live Disney all the time--just got back from Muppets Most Wanted. Oh, wait....

Hope it was fun even though Gloria D-P wasn't in it!

She's ABC/Disney too.

MMW was cute, I liked it more than I thought I would. DW is the real Muppets fan.

Just want to send a quick thanks for this info! Don't know why it never occurred to me that I can practice beforehand by choosing a different (closer) date! it has been bothering me that I have to get on at my 60 day mark at midnight in order to get that elusive A/E FP and don't even know what I will be looking at! Well, I just played around with it and now I know what to look for and how to copy to my family! i appreciate the heads up!

Apparently the window is on Eastern time, because at 11:05 our time it was already open. Then only princess meet I can see in the app is Ariel, have to use web site to see cnderella and rapunzel and the A/E.

Can you do this if you are staying on site with a package. I was on the other day because I've seen other people say they practice but it kept telling me it was too soon to book fast pass
