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

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.

We all have APs that all expire after the last day of our trip. It also is not situated to one room as two of the people in one room get this message and two in the other room get this message.

Hmmm that's very strange. I would go to itinerary and look at these guests plan for the days to make sure there's not weird FPs you didn't sign up for on their profiles. I can't imagine what the error means. Because even if I try to do new passes on a day when I already have passes scheduled it asks me if I want to replace the existing passes with new selections.

A little off topic for this thread but right with this current conversation... Going to SWW soon & used our Tier 1 for shows or TSMM all 3 days. My DH & 7 year old DS are the only one of our family of six that rides RnR. Would you all feel comfortable doing SR line w/ a 7 year old? If so, would you recommend going first or your child going first or would it not matter?

Thank you mesaboy 2 for all your work, here. I'm trying to help relatives with a trip and this will be wonderful to show them what's what with FP+.

I know Disney World and this is a bit much for me let alone newbies. This will help them maximize their experience.

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.

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

Thank you both so much! When just my husband and I go he always rides single rider and the waits are never that bad, however, my sister will be with us on this trip and she's not a person who likes the single rider line because she's slightly nervous to ride to begin with, so riding with a stranger is OUT What are the chances two people from the single rider line will be able to ride together? I know there's no guarantee, but does it happen? Thanks

Almost zero that they would ride side by side...very possibly on the same limo, but not side by side....

I've got a question for you all - I booked a meal for the 4 of us and a friend of my husbands who wants to join us for dinner one night at Epcot. He's a local who has an annual pass.

I gave the restaurant info to my husband who emailed his friend who is now asking for us to set him up on my MDE so he can see the info there.

I also don't want this guy following us around for a couple of days and seeing all of my plans but that's a discussion I will be having with my husband again tonight. (We've already had it once but now my husband seems to have forgotten that. LOL)

My husband called me and wants to know if I set this fellow up on MDE and we link our account with his, is he

1) Able to see and to change any of my FP+ or dining plans? And also our hotel reservations and confirmation numbers?

2) will I be able to remove him completely later because I don't want to keep seeing his name on my account when he's not my friend and won't ever be actually traveling with us at Disney.

Also you'll probably need to know that my husband doesn't have an MDE account. He doesn't go to Disney World often so didn't set one up.

I don't want to have problems by setting him up with his own account at this late date if I can avoid it since everything is booked.

We are heading to Disney for Memorial Weekend. I am so looking forward to it even if it's going to be busy.

TIA!

You should just take screenshots of your reservations page or your My Plans page and email it your friend. He can then see what is scheduled for the days he will be with you.

Why he needs to be linked in MDE is beyond me...I agree with the pp about taking a screenshot then emailing it.

Great idea. I did it just a minute ago and already got an email back from my husband with him says "but (his friend) wants it to be in MDE so he can copy the FP to him."

I sent an email back saying He can see the needed info from the screen shot. We'll talk tonight when you get home from work.

I think I may have just started an argument. Oh well. It's really important to me that this person not have access to all of our information.

I would agree with you. He has no reason to be linked to your MDE account just for a dining reservation. Is he joining you for anything else? It doesn't sound like it. He's not getting any FastPasses or anything like that, right?

Yes. I recommend the child go 1st. There is chance that they will both ride the same "limo" but if not, the kid won't be left behind waiting on his gate assignment or for the next limo.

This thread has info as to why you shouldn't let someone have access to MDE... it may change your Fp+ times when Copy is selected:

My husband sent me an email saying this fellow wants to just copy our FP's times so he can join us all afternoon and evening.

They are on the list that I took a screen shot of for that one day only so he can make his for the same times if possible.

And I just want to add that I knew it - the fellow will probably want to follow us around all weekend so no way is he getting access to my MDE.

And I'm very annoyed that my husband seems to think it's ok. Sigh. Definitely going to talk to him tonight.

Itinkso - thanks for the link. It will help when we have our chat.

Epcot tiering is already annoying enough without dealing with this type of stuff too.

I asked this on the MB 101 thread, but no one seemed to have an answer, so I thought I'd ask it here too since it involves FP+.

Hi I have a question about my Magic Band and my AP voucher. Currently I have an AP voucher linked to my band. We are staying onsite and will make FP+ reservations this weekend. I'm wondering, though, when I go to activate my AP, do I give them the voucher card to activate, or the Magic Band? What happens to my FP+? Since the number on my voucher is what is linked, will it wipe out my FP+ reservations once I activate the AP? Will it have a different number? Sorry if that's a silly question, I just want to be sure I understand how it all will work

Not at all! We now have 10 magic bands and 3 AP's. All of our FP+ stuff is linked to my MDE account. It also shows all the MBs and APs. I got my AP MBs about a week after I got the Pop MB's for our trip so I am bringing both sets of bands (and the Passport cards just to be safe) and asking to have everything activated on our AP bands so we can just keep using those. The other 4 band are from our Dec trip so I will deactivate them and see if they recycle. In theory this should work, lol

We have ADRs in the parks every day. How does this affect FP+ selections? Is there a certain amount of time before and/or after the ADR time that we will be blocked from making a FP+ selection?

I can understand him wanting to get FP+s for the same times, but I wouldn't think it'd be hard for him to get at least all of your tier 2s at overlapping times so he can go on as well through his own MDE account. I've done it before w/a friend. Just tell him to sign on & make them in advance & not at the park that day. As a passholder, he has 30 days in advance to make them.

I agree with you, I would not add anyone else to my account on MDE. It's a pain to take them off afterward, too..

 

[Paul in CT]

We are "between" having AP's in that our APs just expired and we purchased AP vouchers that we do not plan to activate until our next visit in October. Will we be able to make FP+'s before our trip or have to wait until we activate the APs on our first day? If we CAN do FP+s before our trip, will the APs be considered "activated" prior to our trip on the day that we make the FP+ reservations?

ADRs do not interact scheduling wise with your FP+ times. So they can overlap.
