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

From the home page choose the day you want to change and click edit plans.

Thanks, I'm also using the website (not the app) but what specifically would I use to choose the day? I've tried:

Home > My Disney Experience > My Itinerary >

... but I don't see any link for "Edit Plans" ?



edit: among the dropdowns under "add plans" is one for "manage fastpass+" which goes to a page with 4 choices:
select or replace
change
copy
cancel

From my itinerary yes do manage FP and then change. Should work the same way.

Not too difficult once you do it once or twice, right?

Sorry I knew I was confusing. The package I have now is for 5 people with 8 day tickets, so I can make FP+ for 8 days for everyone. One member of the party informed me that he may not be able to come for the entire stay.

Since we are all on the same reservation package, I'm not sure how to switch the tickets. If I change the package to 3 day tickets for the group I'm concerned that will I lose the FP+ reservations for the entire group. I don't believe I can reduce the number of days on a ticket in advance for just one person or even when I'm at WDW. I know I can increase the days for select members of the party when I'm there.

So I guess the question is, if I have 8 day tickets at 60 days, and I reserve FP+ for 8 days, then modify the reservation to have 3 day tickets for the group, will I lose the FP+ for the other days.

Yeah, no way to make this less confusing.

This is more of a questions for reservations - find out if you can just reduce one ticket, since he won't stay for the entire reservation. Or will he not find out until after you make FP reservations? Because if you don't have enough days on your tickets, I would say you would lose those FP if you downgrade everybody.

Perhaps he could be on the reservation without a ticket and buy that seperately? Or is this for like free dining or something? Then you would all lose the benefits if he had to downgrade...and everyone would lose tickets and have to buy more to cover 8 days.

He should probably set up something for himself, and you can copy FP reservations for the day he is here. Find out if he can be on your reservation, but purchase his own tickets.

I just changed our first FP of the day at AK from Kilaminjaro Safaris to the 10am Festival of the Lion King show. Our Safaris FP return time was 10:05-11:05, so I originally thought we'd see FOTLK at 10am without FPs and then go to the Safaris right after that. The reason I changed it is because I didn't want to have to get in line for the 10am show by 9:30. Should we be able to go straight to the Safaris at rope drop and ride standby, then report to the theatre by 9:45, or are we running the risk of missing the 10am show and thus wasting our FPs? This is our first trip in June so we've never experienced summer crowds before. We are going on a day when AK is the most recommended park.

Has anyone been able to make a FP for FOTLK in July yet? Trying to figure out if it's all of July or just the day I want...

Anyone know...?

I have a friend staying offsite the first night, then at AoA and has FPs for the first day onsite. Do they need to check in to the hotel to activate their MBs or if they go straight to the park, will everything be set (and they can check in later)?

I'm not positive on the park pass being activated because we have AP's but I wanted to remind them that its free parking (sounds like they are driving) if they check into the resort first.. and that can be done at anytime.. last trip a few weeks ago we checked in at 6am.. no room, but we got everything done, and our parking pass and were off to a park for some fun..

Yes, but the next step threw me off a bit.... after you click: Change experience -> then select the new ride -> on the right side it lists the names, and you have to uncheck the people who are NOT going to be changing to the new ride (will stay on the original ride) It's a bit of "double-negative" thinking required

Yep- that was the "only have a green check by the people you are changing" step. You do have to be thinking all the time when you have a large group- and it helps to have one person do all the changing! I threatened my siblings over anyone that messed up our A&E meet or the Mine Train. At that point they just e-mailed me what they wanted changed and I did it...

My 60 day mark is approaching quickly. At this time I'm only seeing the opportunity to book at 30 days. Will that change when my date rolls around? Does the purchase of my tickets separate from my resort stay have anything to do with that? My tickets are linked to MDE and Disney sent me info about my date opening. If I need to contact IT, I want to do so sooner rather than later. TIA.

I immensely appreciate Mesaboy2 taking the time to post this information. I have an additional question for ayone.
I reserved FPP's for our entire family of 10, even though not everyone will be using all of them, so if there is time, one or more of us can do do the attraction twice. My mother is in her 80's and isn't up to all of our fast-paced days in the parks, and she says that there will be days that she will be perfectly content to relax at the resort. So, if her ticket has not been used fo admittance to a park on a given day, will her FPP's be able to be used, or will the system recognize that that guest is not in the park?

Yes, as long as you're staying at a Disney resort. Your availability will only show 30 days out until you hit your 60 day mark, and then all the other days through to your check in date will open up for booking

I am curious if anyone knows the answer to this. My family has a similar situation and I would like to know if this is possible.

We have AP and we're able to use FP even on magic bands in March that we're not used for park admission.

I'm almost to the 60 day window. My magic bands haven't arrived. What number do I put in to reserve Fps? Or do I have to pay the whole trip off first?

Your bands won't arrive until a few weeks before your trip. Do they show up on MDE? You should be good to go then!

[abmitch01]

so you have to wait for the bands to do the FP reservations?
