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

[wmoon]

How does FP+ work if you change your resort and/or dates? If you booked FastPasses and then change your resort reservation, as long as you are 60 days out from your new booking AND you have tickets for the number of days that you could still keep your original FastPasses, they won't cancel them when you change the resort reservation will they? Currently, I have WL booked for 7/5-7/11 (and a FP+ for Anna and Elsa and the mine train for the 9th). I am changing to a split stay. 7/2-7/7 at CSR and 7/7-7/11 at WL. The change won't screw up my MK FastPasses will it? Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

I don't know for sure but we changed our reservation before our 60 days and all details of travellers, resort and tickets ( dining was fine for done reason) had to be added back on to MDE by the tech team. I know a few people in the UK who have experienced this but have not read about anyone here changing after booking fastpass.

Really struggling here....

My strategy for the last FP+ trip was to secure FPs for the headliners at night after dinner so no need to worry about hopping to a park and not getting to ride anything. Now with an upcoming high season trip this summer, and the additional *possible* 4th/rolling FP, I'm questioning my strategy.

Should I book FPs for the a.m./ early p.m. and take my chances that the park hop of choice will have some decent FPs left when we get there that night? Or stick to my original plan and RD at first park and FP the nighttime park of choice?? I'm thinking RD may not be what I'm accustomed to now that people can book FPs so early. Will I still be able to do walk-ons for the first hour????

On the other hand, we typically do Epcot at night though- so the chances of getting that 4th pass (for TT or Soarin') when we get to Epcot is probably slim to none. UGH!!!! I think if we were able to book the 4th on MDE it'd be a much easier choice to make....

I don't think your FP+ is attached to your resort stay because we are going in late July and I went into the system yesterday to play around and 'practice' and it allowed me to book FP for early June. That makes me think changing your dates wouldn't have any affect on your FP ressies.

We are going to Disney in December with my sisters family and my parents. My sisters family are season pass holders. We have a family friend who is a CM and will be signing three of the four adults in my party into the park daily so they won't have tickets in advance. One of us will be buying a seven day park hopper (there are four adults and CM can only get three in). How should I go about fp? Make reservations at the 60 day mark for the season pass holders and the one adult in my room with a ticket and just choose rides the kids aren't able to go on (we have an almost 3 yr old and a 1 yr old) and use rider swap for the three adults being signed in? Try to copy our selections in the morning when we get into the park? Thanks!

I debated the same thing, as our original plan was to ride standby at rope drop and use FP in the afternoons as well.

Once the idea of more FP came out I debated, but most reports I've seen tend to look like you won't have major options for the 4th unless you're trying to get it really early in the day. That means you'd have to schedule your first 3 right at park opening and then you might be able to get more for the headliners.

We, instead, chose to take advantage of the thought of not having to get up early and rush to a park on our vacation, so we are going to chill at our pool until 3:00ish each day (except MK days) and then schedule our FP for late afternoon and evening. From what I have planned we'll still be able to ride everything, many things more than once.

I'm with ya!!! After frantically trying to figure out which mornings (and like you, I don't want to be "frantic" about anything on vacation), I decided to stick to the original "secure our nighttime FP" plan. All except for one day If it changes though in the next month or so and we are able to book from another park or from MDE, I'll probably be changing things yet again! LOL

Same here! If they allow you to schedule more from MDX or if they start allowing park hopping within the first three the plan might change we book our FP+ next weekend, so I guess I'll plan to stick to how we have it now and make adjustments if any changes are released.

Has anyone tried Josh's* plans? I copied his MK 2 day plan to try out. Wish us luck

I've been looking through his plans, so let us know how it goes!!

Stay tuned!!

What is everyone's plan for being able to do TSMM, TOT, and RNRC? We only have one day fully dedicated to DHS, but we'll also have another evening that we'll be there. The problem is that we'll have used our FP+ at a different park on the day we're going in the evening. I'm assuming there's no chance of FP+ being available later in the day for RNRC? This is really the ONLY snag in my planning so far, and I can't figure out how to make it work. We only have 2 family members that want to ride TOT and RNRC, but I still can't figure out how to "work the system."

Based on my experience last week..I would definitely do TSMM on FP+ since I had no luck getting one at all ! If you get to HS at RD then go to TOT and then hop over to RNRC. TOT line with FP was still long with RNRC shorter .

Thanks! Our plan was to chill at BLT during the morning and early afternoon and do the parks later in the day (thanks to FP+.) It looks like our DHS day might need to be an early day, though, so we can be sure to get everything in We were FOR SURE planning to use one FP+ for TSMM since I know it's always a madhouse. Thanks again for the advice


ETA: So here's what I changed our plan to:
Ride RNRC Standby at 9:00
TOT FP+ 9:30-10:30
TOY STORY FP+ 10:30-11:30

I agree with this.

When I was at HS last week for EMH, I did RnRC twice in a row & once later on that night. I had only one FP+ for it & the rest I did SR & waited 10 min or so. As long as the 2 don't mind riding separately, I think this is the way to do it w/out FP+ to ride again.

Looking for FP advice... We have 2 young kids (6 and 2); always do rope drop and leave in afternoon for pool / naps. Then return to park (usually same park) for evening.

Is it better to get our 3 FPs for morning (10-1) then get 4th on way out or better it still try to get as much done at RD and keep the FPs spread out across the AM and early evening; and hope we can get some tier 2 rides later?

I think as long as the rides are tiered as they currently are, you can count on ToT being harder to get on than RnR (since anyone choosing RnR has given up TSMM to get it).

So my FP+ 60 day window opened up today. Everything was goingin well until I got this message on four in my party of seven :"This Guest currently has the maximum number of FastPass+ selections that can be confirmed based on the number and type of tickets associated to their MyDisneyExperience account. If new FastPass+ selections are made for this day, you will be given the opportunity to trade them for another set of previously confirmed FastPass+ selections."

What the heck is that even supposed to mean? We al have the same exact FP+ for the other days leading up to this particular day, so how can four people have reached the "limit" on a day I haven't yet scheduled anything. We are using our APs which don't expire before that date either. So how do I fix this so I can finish what I was doing??

If it's open, you guys can ride RNRC single rider. Most I've waited single rider is maybe 20 min.

What is the ticket situation for these other guests? It could be they don't have enough days on their tickets to keep going. We had this problem last time because my mother and father were using a customer service voucher for one day and it therefore could not be linked to MDE. The rest of us had APs.
