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

[shaybay]

THANK YOU it finally worked HOWEVER NO open windows!!!!! September OR December :-(

. Wanting a BOG FP for lunch too and from everything I've read on the boards the day will just say no available times until you are 27 days out from the day you want. Then it opens up. Waiting impatiently to try. Have everything in order and now just counting down the days.

Yes, as said above, must be 27 days out. Go back and read that first page of the thread mentioned above. It will tell you almost everything you need to know and allay your fears. You will likely get exactly what you want.

Question:

This information is from the first page:
All 3 prebooked FP+ must be in the same park. However, the additional day-of FP+s can be scheduled in a different park only if the ticket associated via MDX has the hopper option added. To use FP+ in a different park, all 3 existing FP+s must expire once one is used. In-park kiosks can only schedule FP+ for an attraction in the same park, therefore it will be necessary to travel to the other park before scheduling a day-of FP+. You may be able to convince iPad-equipped CMs to do this for you from another park.

So, lets say I only prebooked 2 fastpasses for park #1 but want to hop to park #2 and obtain a fastpass from the kiosk. Since I didnt prebook 3 and havent used 3 will this be allowed OR should I just pick up a third at park #1 at random from the kiosk, let it expire as we travel to park #2 and book additional FP+ at the kiosk.

The system forces you to select 3 FPs each day, no less.

If you have a package with tickets, you won't be able to see anything until your 60-day window opens up. The only way you would have access to the 30-day calendar is if you had some type of current ticket linked to your account (MNSSHP or MVMCP) or an old no-expiration ticket. I know it's terrifying to wait until the last minute to know if everything is ok, but as long as your reservation info is correct, you should be fine.

Thanks a bunch! It just worries me that none of the people on our package show up on the FP+ page.

I just had this same question. The only way around this is to book a 3rd one you don't need? I feel bad because someone else could use it, seems like the MB would recognize you have gone to a different park and the system would allow it? Guess something else to improve on for the future.

Thanks for the information.

I think that I have read that there is a way to cancel your third FP without canceling out all three. But, I think there was something about you could only do it on full website and not on the App. Anyone recall this? Done this? I believe that you could then go to your other park and start adding one at a time instead of waiting on that third one to naturally expire. Read that, but have no experience with that yet. Fire away if I am wrong.

 

[Sparkie]

Yes, I originally booked 3 because the system forced me to. But then I cancelled the one I didn't want. But now I can't book a third without cancelling all of them and rebooking. So I guess I will book a third at the kiosk on the day we go and just let it expire. I agree it seems a waste to take a fastpass I don't want and somebody else might.

My understanding is that you don't have to rebook a third you don't want. I think you can just go to your second park and start booking one at a time after you have used the two at the first park.

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?

I had the same issue for the same week. But when I went in to change an existing, FP Enchanted tales showed up as a possible replacement.

My mom just told me that if you have park hopper passes you can make 3 fp's for the first park and 3 fp's for the second as well in the same day. But I have never read this.. Is this true??

Yes, you can cancel an unneeded FP, but the catch is that if you ever decide you want to schedule a third, you either have to start over or call Disney directly to have the third added back on. And you still have to schedule at the second park from the in-park kiosks.

Unless something has changed in the last few days, you are limited to scheduling 3 FP+ in any one day in any one park. You are welcome to continue to schedule a 4th once you arrive in the second park (and the first 3 have expired) and a 5th once you use the 4th, and so on, indefinitely. But only the first 3 can be preselected.

You have to be within 27 days so December you definitely wouldn't be able to see and for September I just did mine for the 13 last week so you may still be outside that window if you are going the last week of September.

Yes, I don't think that you can do it on the mobile App, and have to do it on the kiosk, but I think that you then can add one by one via the in-park Kiosk at any park, right? So, say I am most wanting my 10 AM and 11:20 AM FPs, and there is a third I don't want/need at 2:00. I believe, you can cancel that third one (PRIOR to the day at the park in question), and then be able to add one by one via kiosks. So, if first 2 in MK, and you are now in AK at 12:30, I think that you can add one at AK one at a time via kiosk. The advantage to this was that you did NOT have to wait for that third one to expire because you were able to cancel it ahead of time. Otherwise, yes, you would NOT be able to schedule in AK at all before 3 o'clock, the time that the original FP expired. Right? Please correct me if I am wrong. I know you all will

OP ~

I saw all those pretty colors in your OP and my eyes went cross! So, I thought I may as well just ask directly; I apologize in advance if this has already been answered:

We've booked a package for the F&WF which includes a 2-day basic pass and Deluxe Dining. However, we also happen to have paper 3-day PH passes. Since we will only have 4 full days in Orlando [one day will be spent at 'the other theme park' ] we only need 3 days worth of park passes. So, we would [obviously] rather use the PH ones, since, a) they are 3 days and, b) we get to park hop. I called WDW and was told that I should not link the paper passes [on MyDisneyExperience] with our package because the 2-day passes would automatically be activated when we use our bands. If we use our paper ones, those will be used and the 2-day passes will not be activated as long as we don't use those to enter a park. (BTW, we could also transfer our paper passes onto another band if we so choose.) Here is where my dilemma comes up. How do I get FP+ for the 3-day ones? If I do reserve FP's [with the existing ones on MyDisneyExperience] will they be void if I try to use them on those days since they aren't associated with the other passes?

TIA!

an onsite stay. In other words, at 60 days before your check-in date you can make FP selections for your entire trip (up to 10 days).

at what point can you make FPs for the remainder of your trip if you're going for more than 10 days?

Just FYI, not sure it applies to you, but if you have an AP and are staying onsite you can book for your entire stay (not just 10 days) at 60 days.

I was able to book all days of mine 14, at the 60 days.
