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

[jewelsb]

Trying to figure out the smartest way to use my FP's on July 3rd & 4th because I know it will be CRAZY busy. So I'd love any thoughts/input. Here's what I have right now. I'm second guessing them and wondering if I should change them??! I just can't wrap my head around the planning FP's this trip.


July 3rd @ MK
Straight to 7DMT at rope drop
11:00-12:00 Peter Pan
12:00 lunch res
1:05-2:05 Big Thunder Mtn
2:05-3:05 Space Mtn

July 4th @ DHS
Straight to Rockin Roller Coaster at rope drop
9:05-10:05 Tower of Terror
10:05-11:05 Toy Story Mania
11:05-12:05 Star Tours

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

No, not at all! . You can make your FP at your 60 days if you're on site. You don't need your bands.

Will Disney be offering more FPs for those who have a park hopper pass or the option of choosing FP from more than one park?

After you use your third FP+, or when it expires, you can make a 4th FP+ reservation at the park you are currently in, or when you arrive at the second park.

4th, 5th, etc. FP+ reservation have to be made one at a time at the kiosks.

These are all good choices. If I would change anything, I would try to do the 7/3 MK attractions earlier in the day to open up your chances of getting quality FPs after you use your third FP.

but where do you get the number you have to enter? TIA

Does your resort reservation include park admission? If so then the are automatically in your MDE account. If not, you will have to link purchased park tickets before us can schedule FP.

 

[abmitch01]

yes, I booked tix at the same time as the resort

 

[yce22princess]

yes, I booked tix at the same time as the resort

Then everything should be in MDE. No need to enter a number. It will allow you access to boom the fastpasses at midnight on your 60 day window.

 

[wajones2]

then you should b all set. You can book FP when you are 60 days from your arrival date by logging into your MDE account?

So, quick question about the app. I've only been working with our FP+ reservations on our laptop, but decided to go into the app today to get a feel for how we'd make adjustments once in the parks. I'm a little concerned because when I went to My Reservations, scrolled down to the FP section, and clicked on one of our experiences its not showing everyone who has a FP for that time. For example, all 4 of us have the same FP for the safari, but when I click on it it says 'friends and family who share this experience' and it only shows one person. I was counting on being able to log in and check times and who booked what if we forget, but its not showing everyone. It's only showing me and then 1 other random family member for each thing. Is there a different area of the app that lists all of it at once? Thanks!!

This is one of the reasons I trust the MDX site more than the app. I saw this same thing for my group's FP selections on the app (only one name), but the site showed all 3 of us. None of my group had any trouble with FPs on Thursday or Friday during our trip.

Thanks! Good to know its actually all still there. Just a bummer not to be able to see it. I'll have to make notes or reminders on my phone just in case

These are all good choices. If I would change anything, I would try to do the 7/3 MK attractions earlier in the day to open up your chances of getting quality FPs after you use your third FP.

What time do you plan to get to MK on 7/3? Are you commando park goers? or will you need to chillax in some cool slow attractions (tiki room for example) in the afternoon?

I think that it's a toss up on using FP mid day but doing stand by in the morning vs having all your FP on the Morning and then hoping for quality alternatives for your 4th...I might be inclined to just be happy with any options for 4th and have manageable standby lines first thing in the morning?

Thanks! That's kind of what I was thinking. I'll see what I can find...

We'll be at MK at rope drop and we're pretty commando in the morning, but a little more low key later after lunch and as it gets hotter.

I'm more ok with the 4th because I know we'll do some of the shows in the afternoon if we can get the rides done in the morning.

How much time do you allow after an ADR for a Fastpass res? We have a couple breakfast ADRs at places we've never been and I'm not sure how much time to safely allow for breakfast. Our first one is at 8:25 at CP and another at 9am at TH, and I thought I'd allow a good 2 hours before I booked a FP? Does that sound like enough time? We're relatively quick eaters, but we do like to take pictures with the characters! Plus, I know sometimes even with an ADR you sometimes still have to wait a bit for your table. So I figured a half hour to potentially wait, and an hour and a half for breakfast. Does that sound right?
