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

OP updated with Bullets 1-5, along with changes to General Strategies section. Input welcome.

My initial thought: these changes force a "quantity versus quality" decision with FPs.

ITA...I will stick with my planned "Quality FP+" rather than count on receiving a bunch of them at times or for attractions where they are unnecessary.

Add my thanks to the rest. This is the best thread ever.

Changes to FP+! They are listening.

Thanks for keeping it up to day.

Great info!!!

I think I might just stick with my three in the afternoon all that will be left is nonsense... Hoping it won't mean that people start to schedule their fastpasses for opening now, making lots of rides at rope drop a thing of the past!

They only need to expire and only one needs to be used. Perhaps folks will schedule a lame one at RD and skip it. then use the next two and have a FP available after that.

I think I've missed something and am a little confused. Since any of the 3 original FP's could be rescheduled if they were not used how do they actually expire? And unless you were going to park hop why wouldn't you just attempt to reschedule the missed ones instead of going to a kiosk and getting the new 4th FP? Or has it been confirmed that you can get a repeat FP or in a park with tiers an additional Tier 1 with the new 4th? Those would be the other circumstance to let FP's "expire" but I didn't think any of that had been confirmed as possible. But I've also missed where the info came of the rule of only having to use one and let the other 2 expire since the release said you could get a 4th after using the first 3.

Yay just in time for our trip. Just moved up my MK FP+. Will be interesting to see what's left at the end of the day! Of course, still hoping I can make a Mine Train FP+, but am starting to lose hope.

I've missed that (official) info, too. Is it really true or just how people are interpreting the info?

I'm still keeping our schedule as is, I think. We're planning on many early in the day FP+ anyway because we're not in the parks the majority of the afternoon. Already have a F! dinner booked so no need to FP+ that. FP+ will be booked for the nighttime MK parade and I'm keeping that plan. I'm only concerned with 7DMT at this point...

I am confused about this as well. What if you don't use all 3 in the same park but then want to try to book another Tier 1 FP+ after the time is "up" on all 3?

You guys are really over analyzing this. If you have one of your original 3but the time has passed so you can re-schedule it....your 4th FP is really irrelevant now isn't it?

The only advantage you gain is that if you had 3 FP for MK with the last one ending at 2pm and you didn't use them all....you could go to an EPCOT kiosk and get one there instead.

Some further explanation here on changes.

Looks like those who schedule one for wishes or illuminations are kind of screwed now.

I was almost hoping that the change wouldn't take place until after my visit in May. I felt comfortable with my current FP selections but now I'm having to rethink the whole thing. I'll keep an eye out for reports before we arrive on May 10.

I'm thinking of picking one day to use FP early in the morning to shoot for the additional FP's but I do like having my afternoon and evening FP's already booked. The crowds are supposed to be down a little during our visit from May 10-16 so I can play around a little bit. Maybe experiment the first full day with morning FP's and if it just seems like a waste I can keep my other days the way they are now.



One thing to keep in mind regarding the expired (unused) FP vs the 4th (additional) FP is the expired one can be rescheduled using a smart phone while the additional FP will require a visit to a kiosk...at least that is my understanding. The kiosk requirement for additional FP's needs to go.

Just when I thought I had a handle on this FP+ thing! I can't imagine that there will be a lot of availability during busy times. I wonder if it will be a moot point anyway.

My ds is on his senior trip this weekend. They will be staying offsite. Tomorrow they will be going to Epcot and then hopping to DHS. Am I correct that as of now he will have to pick only one of those parks and can only choose 3 FP+ total at the chosen park?

Yes, until Monday that is correct!
