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

[GaSleepingBeautyFan]

Thanks... that's the bit I was missing-- not everyone has linked their accounts yet?? (In fact, some haven't opened an account yet.)

I'll keep trying. And if I don't get to practice, then I'll do what the rest of the world does and figure out out as I go.

Thanks for your help everyone!

It's really easy even for this technology challenged 50 year old.

Except for one thing I messed up and was able to fix after messing around for about 20 minutes.

I think you'll do great without practice!

Pretty sure you are not going to be able to book FP for anyone that doesn't have a MDE account that is linked to you or at least included in your MDE account. If you book them soon you'll want to light a fire under them to get their accounts set up or add them to your account.

I didn't realize MDE wouldn't let you use your tickets that are part of a package at 30 days. Interesting. I always thought tickets could be used any time you wanted them to be

Once they link their accounts you'll also need to make sure they change their settings to SHARE all their info with you. If they leave their account set on PRIVATE you won't be able to make FP+ reservations for them. I found that out just in time before we had to book ours!!

I have a question about linking MDE accounts.

I booked the trip under my MDE account. I entered my sister's name and age as the second traveler. I clicked on the "email to invite her to connect". However, she does NOT have a MDE account. When she buys her AP in a few weeks, I am going to add the voucher number in my MDE. Will this enable me to book FP+ for both of us (my ticket is already in MDE)? Or is this system going to now think that she might have an account, so she will have to create one and link it to mine before we can book FP+?

It won't allow her to accept your invitation without creating an account for herself. If she leaves her account set on private, her AP will go to her account, not yours, even if you purchase it through your account. That's what we did. My mom signed in to my account to purchase her tickets, but they weren't showing up in my account a few minutes later. I called Disney IT and they said that it was because her account was set on the default setting of private, so it wouldn't allow her tickets to show under my account, only in hers.

You can actually book at midnight If you want to wait until morning, I believe I read it was 5:00am eastern, but maybe someone can clarify, since I booked at midnight I'm not totally sure

But if she ignores the invitation and never accepts it nor creates an account, can I still book FP+ for both of us?

I don't think you can add her unless she accepts the invitation, and if you don't add her you can't book FP+.

My trip involves 2 reservations. First package room and tickets, 3 nights 8day tickets. Second reservation 5 day room only. Will I be able to pre-book all 8 days FP+ even though reservation is only for 3 nights?

We have MYW tickets for the end of July; Our 60 day window comes up in a week and a half. It won't even let me get to the dates; the pop up comes up.

Are you trying to practice on the app, or the MDE website? I've never been able to practice in the app, but have been able to on the MDE site. (I have a MYW package for Sept.)

Hmmm that doesn't work for me. I have a package for August with tix and i cannot practice on website or app.

It never let me practice either way too. I had no access until I actually hit 60 days.

I think you can still get thru the MK attractions first thing in the morning after breakfast. Test track even seems feasible but I don't expect you would get thru the princesses and back to TT before 9:15? Atleast our family wouldn't be able to do that...since its currently 9:22, I just checked wait time there - TP says expected is 10min and posted is 25min for standby...

Edit - also quickly looked at MK - PP is 21 expected/ 25 posted, pooh was 5e/10p, small world was 9e/10p...so, assuming crowd levels are roughly the same, this seems like a viable plan for MK...

Awesome, thank you! I'm okay with anything less than 30 minutes for Test Track; if we can get that one done standby then we can use our Tier 1 FP+ on Soarin'. (I was thinking of using Rider Swap to be able to FP both, but this way neither of the adults will have to ride alone and DD will get to ride both rides twice.)

I assume TP is Touring Plans? I've never used it but am thinking out getting it for this trip. Are the wait times on there more accurate than the ones on MDE?

We were at Epcot Sunday and the rider swap + FP combo works great. We were able to do both TT & Soaring' quite quickly and my oldest son got to ride both with me and my wife.

Correct...TP is touring plans. I have a subscription, but think the MDE times are more up to date. The touring plans themselves are decent, especially with optimizing rides nearby each other...that said, with enough planning on your own you could arrive at similar results.

Yep, you should be good. that's what I did. 5 nights package with 9 day tickets, then 4 nights room only. I was able to book all 9 days. Just won't let you book more days than you have tickets for.

Another FP+ question that I couldn't find the answer to but may not have tried hard enough!

We are a party of 4 including my mom who doesn't ride things like EE, ToT, etc. The kids and I want to FP+ these type of rides. If I make a reservation for all 4 of us and she just doesn't ride with us can I still make the 4th reservation once we are done with all 3 rides and the times have expired? If I just make reservations on these rides for 3 then she won't be eligible for the 4th one that we may want to ride together is my understanding.

Thanks for any help!

Yes, I would say you are correct.
