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

[Barzeski]

I was always planning on FP+ selections in the morning since that's when we do most of our touring. We only go back in the evening if we have dinner at the park. But we have that for 5 out of our 7 park days this time, so it would be nice to get an additional FP+ to ride something a second time. Is this allowed with the new system?

Yep, according to page 1. Your 4th and on fp can repeat a fp+ 1-3 pre-booked selection.

I'm currently going through and making my plan for what I'm going to try to book in a couple weeks, and I was wondering. Since the new system sort of "prevents" you from pre-booking the MSEP reserved area we were thinking of maybe booking it the night we're staying for EMH. That night there are two showings. One at 9 and one at 11. We'll most likely go to the 11 one, which would hopefully have a better likelihood of having FP still available day-of. I wondered, however, if that's still considered to be "during regular park hours." The second show begins at 11, and the park hours for that day go until 11. Thanks!

Here is a fun one to try for someone visiting tomorrow or a few days after but I'm not convinced it will work. For EPCOT or DHS with tiered FPs and staying in same park:

1. Let first 2 original FP's expire
2. Use 3rd original FP
3. Go to kiosk and book 4th FP for tier 1 attraction
4. Re-schedule first 2 original FP's using app

I'm guessing that item 3 won't work but if it does then item 4 won't.

ETA: The online articles I've read indicate that if an original FP is used and the other two expire a FP can be obtained from a kiosk at another park. They indicate that the 4th FP can be obtained at the same park only after the original 3 have been used but who knows?

Thanks for asking for input. While I try to keep the OP updated with the latest and most accurate info at all times, it is not always possible to glean all possible scenarios based on the limited information in a press release or an official blog post. If it turns out that my interpretation of the rules is incorrect, I will update the original post accordingly and promptly.

I just booked mine and the times for the FPs are 8:40-9:00 for the 9pm parade and 10:40-11:00 for the 11 pm parade. HTH!

I'm sorry in advance if I missed the answer to my question as I read through this thread...we leave tomorrow Like many, I have our FP+s booked for afternoon/evening(were made well in advance of the 4th FP announcement). I'm just wondering what is the easiest way to check for FP+ availability. Is there a better way to check besides "mock" editing my current selections?

Thank you!

Thanks for keeping up with all this. A few of us that have trips coming up within the next couple of weeks are getting anxious and want ALL the answers NOW!...

We need some guinea pigs starting today.

I will be there this weekend myself but won't be able to test it in every possible way. Call me crazy, I'm just going to concentrate on having a good time!

I have seen pictures (can't remember where) with signs outside the kiosks that lists what is available so you don't have to needlessly stand in line. I will try to find it and post it.

You deserve it! Have a fabulous time (and take lots of notes )

"Notes" and "good time" don't go together in my world. Maybe I'll remember something useful to share when I return.

Ha!! That works for me! Whatever you can remember will be more than those of us not there would know!

I'll be there this weekend too! Yahoo!! Thanks for all your help so far. I'm a little bummed they changed things so close to our dates and now we're winging it, but I'm sure it will all work out. (Hoping!)

Have a magical trip! You deserve it!

The irony is I get no access to prebooking FP since I am visiting on the good graces of a CM. They remain a group getting the short end of the FP stick.

Something we all need to focus on, having a good time and enjoying our Disney experience.

Yes! No matter what we do, we will enjoy it while we are doing it...we love WDW!

Not sure hot to quote the quote. But #3 works and has been confirmed today in a different thread...

Make sure you enjoy yourself.

Have a great time! I'm thinking crowds should be relatively light.
