Where do you sit with a FP reservation for the parade?

Where do you sit with a FP reservation for the parade?

As mentioned in the OP, in the central Hub directly across from the castle.

I lost where I saw this, but someone posted this link in another thread....VERY helpful and answers a lot of questions that are asked on here of how to use the FastPast+ system. My day is tomorrow night...am nervous and anxious to see if I can get all my options. With this site, I feel a bit better going in as it show how to navigate and how to try and get the hard ones such as A&E and 7DMT

Yes. I only checked for one day of my trip, but it was gone at my 60 day mark. I'm assuming it had been released and filled as it said "all fast passes for this date have been distributed" or something on the attraction list.

Ok thanks! At least there's hope. I guess I'll keep trying.

I thought Swan and Dolphin were 30 days not 60

Question - I know FP+ times cannot overlap. However when I made my FP+ selections tonight it let me make several where the ending time of one is the same as the starting time of the next one. For example:

Spaceship Earth 3:45pm - 4:45pm
Soarin 4:45pm - 5:45pm

There is a little gray box that states "Time Overlap" when I go back and view the details of my FP+ reservations.

Is this going to cause problems?

60 days, same as on site.

One more question about Wishes Fp+ . . . for the one day I keep checking, I'm trying to "change experience" with my latest existing Fp+ which is around 2:00. Do I need to change that time for a later time that's closer to when Wishes would begin? Or won't it make a difference?

Didn't cause us problems back in Feb, and many of our FP windows are like this for our trip in Oct.

I don't think it makes a difference; I was able to change an experience to a completely different time slot. However, I do have something scheduled from 8:50-9:50 that I am using to check for Wishes, just in case it does

I have several of these as well, same with my dining (FP+ for 11:30-12:30 with ADR at 12:25 for example). I think this notification is for our benefit only, as MDX will not allow you to schedule two FP windows that truly overlap.

I may have just made a mistake-- I cancelled a FP+ for Splash Mountain because I wanted to search for a FP+ for Wishes or Electrical Parade for that night. Now I'm stuck with two FP+ reservations for that day (7DMT and FoF Parade) and can't figure out a way to add a third without wiping out the two I already have. Am I missing something, or is there no way to add a single FP+ if you have one reservation slot open?

I believe you have to start over for the day. Perhaps try calling Disney directly to see if there is anything they can do, but all the reports I've read in this thread state that once you cancel a FP+ you cannot get back to 3 without wiping out the entire day. In the future, to search for availability for another attraction, just select the option to "change existing reservation for another attraction or time" and then select the option to switch the attraction. You will see what is available still for the day. And if it's not what you're looking for, just hit "cancel" and you will revert back to your original selections. Good luck!

To resolve yourself you would have to start over for that day, effectively canceling remaining FP in order to add a third.

Others have reporting calling Disney help desk and having them manually add a third FP+. Some have also reported that if you do this, you cannot edit the one CM adds yourself.

I was able to call Disney tech support, and they successfully added back my FP+ without canceling the other two. It shows up as a regular FP+ and I can still edit it or change it to another attraction if I want.

Thanks for the advice!

I will have regular PH tickets at the 60 day mark for FPP. I currently have an Annual Pass for Disneyland and will use the WDW tickets to upgrade to Premier Annual Pass.

Unfortunately, it looks like I will have to wait until I arrive at WDW to do the upgrade -- I was hoping to get it all done at DL, prior to the 60 FPP mark.

If I make all of my FPP based upon the PH tickets linked to account, how do I make sure that they transfer to the AP? I'm worried that they will all disappear when I upgrade the the AP.

Visiting Animal kingdom on Sept 16. Crowd level 2/3. What would you fast pass and when? We are not arriving until close to 10 so I figured I would get the safari and the EE. I want to do kali but not until later in the day....but if I make a fp for later in the day, I have to wail until after the third fp window to book a fourth....want to make sure to get to Dino, nemo and FOTLK too.

Thanks for any thoughts

I have our FP reservations for our trip and I am still looking to get A&E on a different day and also to watch for the Frozen Sing Along at DHS. When I try to change my FP to something different, I get to choose changing the time or changing the experience. If I select change the experience, it pops up a window that gives a list of the experiences available at the same exact time as my current attraction timeslot.

How do I keep checking the entire day to see if an A&E FP opens up? I was hoping that if I tried to change 1 FP that it would give me all possible options for the day that didn't overlap with my other 2 FPs...not just for the 1 hour that I was previously booked for a FP? help please!

Nevermind! I figured it out and was able to answer my own question...it does show all available attractions for that day...

I just booked fp+ for our October trip (week of October 19) on each day we will be at the MK enchanted tales with belle was unavailable and it said it was under refurbishment?? I had not seen that listed on any of the refurb calendars? Does anyone know if this is accurate or a glitch?

Hi there. Booked our FP+ yesterday at our 60 day mark and sadly wasn't able to get SDMT for either of our MK days .

We are a party of three and I'm trying to determine the best way to keep searching for a SDMT opening. I went ahead and made three other choices each of our days (one of the days is actually our MNSSHP day and it let me make choices from 4-7). Is there some advantage to cancelling what I booked and just looking for SDMT as if I'm booking from scratch or is it all the same to just keep trying to modify what I have and hoping a SDMT comes up?

I also read that some people have luck when trying to book for just one or two people at a time. Can this be done via the modify option or would I have to delete my choices and start the booking over completely? I really don't understand how this one works and I'm afraid if I book for just two of us I won't be able to get anything for our third person later on. I'm so confused, thanks for any help!
