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

[Cluelyss]

After reading all of this, I'm now dreading the day I can do our FPs. We are 112 days out from our first trip, so I'm just trying to learn as much as possible. Thank you for all of the tips!!

This definitely adds another level of anxiety to planning a Disney trip, but try not to stress out too much over it. You will never be able to see/do everything in one trip, so anything you miss is an excuse to go back! Hoping you have a magical 1st trip to the World!!

Thanks for the positive words! It's just overwhelming to think about FPs when I can't even get the dining stuff I want. :/ Grr. I guess our kids won't know the difference since they've never been!

Are FP+ attached to specific tickets? I have an MNSSHP ticket for Oct 31 and a one-day park hopper for Nov 1st. Will the system know that the first three are valid on my party tickets?

Exactly! And you'll be surprised at the things they end up enjoying the most. On our first trip, my son would have been content just riding the monorail all day! They will have an amazing trip no matter what you end up doing!

No, they're not, and it shouldn't matter as long as you have selections scheduled for the same number of days that you have linked tickets.

I'm sorry if this has already been addressed BUT when should I expect to receive the email invitation for the fastpass to BOG lunch? Our trip is in December so will it be around the 60 day mark? Should I have received it already?

My DH insisted on booking the trip under his account so I have this crazy fear of him overlooking the email rather than immediately calling me with it and then all is lost...

I want to know why you can't add one more back in without cancelling everything too. I had only two booked for one of our MK days. It won't let me book a 3rd one without cancelling everything that day. That is our 7DMT FP+ day, so I don't want to cancel that and risk not getting another. Ugh.

Hopefully we'll find out if this is possible.

Is there a list anywhere that states which are 60 day FP and which are 30 day FP activities/events?

Any one else having trouble booking Maelstrom ?

Maelstrom isn't open for FP booking for lots of people (maybe for everyone), fueling speculation that it will be shut down and remodeled into a Frozen-themed ride (though I don't think that's been officially announced yet).

Maybe you are confused.

On-site guests can book FPs at 60 days out.

Off-site guests can book FPs at 30 days out.

Here I was thinking it was all me being paranoid about the RUMORS

but there is something fishy going on .... I just hope it is not down for rehab during our trip as this is our first trip to WDW

Trust me missing Maelstrom isn't worth crying over.

thank you...but I thought I read or heard something about some activity (like wishes FP ) not showing up at 60 days? Thanks for your help...we will only be going for our second trip ever in April and the last trip was 7 years ago, so it all feels new

All attractions "should" be available for scheduling at 60 days if you are staying on-site. The exceptions are parades and fireworks, which do not always seems to be available right away.

What days are you trying to book? I heard people were starting to see no availability at the end of September....wondering how long the "maintenance" is scheduled??

I called and asked. According to the person I talked to, once you cancel a FP+ selection, you have to reselect all three if you want to add another experience. If you don't want to cancel out the one or two you still have, you just have to wait until you are in the park and the others have been used before booking another FP+. Ugh. I liked the old system better. They should make this clear before you hit cancel. I didn't know this would happen.

The first post lists everything. Attractions have historically all been available at 60 days with a few exceptions. Those exceptions are noted in the first post also.
