Which would you rather see? Not being smart, but I think that's the answer. Both attractions from an FP perspective are garbage.

I used the line for BOG FP for lunch, but it won't let me put my reservation number in. It will let me type in the numbers but when I type the letters, it disappears completely. Won't let me C&P my number either. Anyone have this problem?

Ok,so that's kind of what I was wondering. So apparently I can still get into either show rather easily and shouldn't waste a FP on these unless I choose to.

Fast Pass is based on the number of tickets you have?

I have 5 day tickets, 7 night stay at Pop (Dec 20-27), we will not be going to the parks the first day (Dec 20).

I can get Fast Pass for the following 5 days from Dec 21- 25, correct? Or is it from the 20?

PHABRIC: In response to your question, you get 3 fast passes for each day you are in a park. However, once you use up the 3 fast passes in a day, you may pick another one for another ride (assuming there are still some left for that ride). Make sense?

Yes, it's limited to the number of tickets you have.
You do not have to start them on day 1 of your trip.
You do not have to schedule them on consecutive days
For example, you have 7 days to book 5 days of FP so you can book on days 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 or days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, etc. You just can't go over 5 days worth

For headliners? Yes, in many cases. At least during the busy season. If you get there at opening then you can probably get one of the more popular rides for very late in the day. The smartest course of action for spur of the moment trips would be to get online and book the FP the moment you get the idea to head to Disney.

I am booking room this week at Swan( for Nov)..... Can I still book fast passes?

 

[CamrynsDisneyMom]

I am trying to make my fast pass selections through the my experience app and my dates aren't showing only 30 days not 60. Yes I am staying on property. I tried going through the disney website and there is a little lock next to make selections for fast passes and I am getting a message that at least on party member must have a valid ticket (I checked and they are all linked as this was a package we purchased) I am in tears because I can't get this done HELP PLEASE!

 

[BigMommaMouse]

I am no expert, but follow this thread everyday. It seems sometimes Disney website is not ready at midnight. In fact someone posted a response from them (disney) saying there is no set time for the system.

My advice is keep trying if this is your sixty day out. Good Luck!

We are at WDW now and the iPhone app is working well for last minute changes to our FP+ selections. However, I made all my original choices through the online version of MDE. I would strongly suggest you start there, make your choices, then you will see them on the app.

There have been several reports that 1am is the new midnight. Hopefully it has resolved itself by now but if not - call the help hotline.

Yes, FP+ at the Swan works the same way as onsite. You need to have your 9 digit reservation number as well as your ticket linked in MDE, then you can make FP+ reservations at 60 days.

It let me in at 1am on the dot. We were able to get Elsa and Anna and the dwarf train which were my biggest concerns so I'm happy bit exhausted! Did not get to sleep until after three by the time I relaxed and destressed!

That seems to be happening a lot lately. Maybe Disney forgot to spring forward back in March?

So glad you got what you wanted.

Camrynsmom. I too am only seeing 30days out. I'm guessing it's because I'm not in the booking window, but I'm a little worried. I asked in a different thread and the consensus was that when my 60 day window opens I should be able to see 60days

I know that is how it was for me. I had tickets and room, not a package. I could book 30 days out right up till 60 days before our check in and then it jumped to 60 days. Right at midnight. Some are not switching over till 1:00 AM. No idea why there is a difference or how to know what time your account will turn on

My theory is there are 2 data bases out there, on 2 different computers. One updates at midnight and one at 1:00. Which time your account turns over depends on which data base you are stored in. Mine is midnight. I don't know that there is any way to determine, in advance, which your will switch on.

I did notice that when I was playing around before my 60 days came I could go on at midnight and book for the next 30 days. It advanced dates each night at midnight. For those that have room only and tickets separate maybe see what time your date advances. That may give you a clue as to what time you'll get the 60 day access.

And now that I type that out I wonder if there is a common thread to those that get access at 1:00 and those that get access at midnight.... could all those that get access at midnight have room only and separate tickets and those that get access at 1:00 have a package?

I don't understand why so many people think they should be able to see 60 days out from the current date when it's not 60 days out from their arrival date. It makes perfect sense to me that you would only be able to see 30 days out (since anybody can make FP+ selections at 30 days out), and then when you're 60 days out from your arrival date, the additional days will open up. It doesn't make sense to show dates that you aren't eligible to book for.

Never understood it myself but lots of folks do. I guess FP+ is a lot more confusing than I realize
