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

[mesaboy2]

The beginning of this thread may need to be edited: parades and fireworks seem to be showing up at the 60 day mark and I've noticed that FoF, Wishes and MSEP are not available anymore at 45 days. Also some days are showing no availability for Enchanted Tales w Belle and TSMM

It says they do not often appear at the 60-day mark. For these attractions, the system has not been consistent enough for long enough in my opinion to say definitively at this point that they will appear at the 60-day mark. I will keep it as-is for now.

For what it is worth, MSEP, FoF, and Wishes were all available on my 60-day mark earlier this month as well.

Yep, I'm reading it more and more. Just not enough to move me yet.

I skimmed this thread before it was time for me to make my FP+ reservations and I wasn't entirely sure how the split stay would work. I'd already linked both reservations and my tickets to my MDE account. The total trip length is greater than 10-days. When the 60-day mark opened for the first part of my stay, I was able to make FP+ reservations for any day during my entire stay (basically, despite moving resorts, the system treated my trip as one long stay for the purposes of FP+). I only have 6-day tickets, so I don't know if I could have made FP+ reservations for more than 10-days (if I had tickets that covered that long).

Also, I was able to access the system at midnight.

Like many others, I was a little apprehensive about how it would all go, but it ultimately worked out.

Wasn't for me...

I should clarify...I was able to book Wishes, MSEP, and FoF, but they were not available on all days. FoF said that there were no times available one of the days I checked (just like A&E and 7DMT). I took this to mean that there were no more FP+ s available for that day, not that it was not yet available. I was able to get FoF for the next day. MSEP and Wishes also said there were no times available on some days, but those were on MNSSHP nights so that was to be expected.

Thanks all for the help. I am on the app and therefore can't see the color. OP notes the tiers are marked as X and Y. Maybe that's the color? Anyway I found a list on prepschool.

Any thoughts on which days I should book.?
Or wishes with a toddler?
Honestly those were what I was most concerned about..

.....well....I made my fast pass selections this morning and it wasn't as painful as I thought.....however, boy, do they get gobbled up in a hurry.....also, I was only able to make 2 days worth of fast passes, since a 2-day pass is linked to my account, and not the 3-day PH ones. I called WDW this morning, because I was concerned that those fast passes are linked to the 2-day passes (part of my package), but since I won't be activating those park passes, I wondered if, when we try to use our fast passes, they won't work. She assured me that they are connected to the general account, not to the park passes themselves, so we WILL be able to use them. However, I got a GENEROUS sprinkling of Pixie Dust too, because I also have 'Get-out-of-jail-go-directly-to-free-parking-collect-your-$200' SUPER-DUPER fast passes from a previous WDW visit, which supersede any fastpass available! We had experienced some BAD problems during our previous visit [April 2013] stay at ASMovies, and, as a way of making things right, one of the CM's from Guest Services attached 10 of these 'special' fast passes to my email address. Basically, we can go on ANY ride in ANY park at ANY time! WOOHOO!

Glad it was painless. I'm getting encouraged, although it sounds like I may need to be on at midnight to be sure we get ours. for your super FP's!!! That will be a huge bonus!!!

Now that's interesting. My DISboards app does show colors. What mobile OS are you using (iOS, Android, etc.)?

I stressed all day about making my fast pass selections with 2 DD ages 7 & 5. Elsa and Anna was top priority. Thanks to all the advice on this thread I went to my last day and was able to secure them and 7dmt. The rest was just bonus!! 60 days and counting!

Android. I took a screen cap but can't post images via app. I'll try via browser some other time. Too lazy lol

 

[shaybay]

There is 1, only one,A&E FP available right now!

 

[LMO429]

I'm referring to the page you get if you click on "My Disney Experience" in the upper right corner of the WDW page. The top of the page tells you you have X days to go for your vacation and three main options "FastPass+ Selections", "Dining Reservations" , and "Entertainment Times"

I"ll see if I can get a picture tonight when I get home.



There were several 7DMT options available for quite a while after our window opened. For about the first 30 minutes we were able to make just about any changes we wanted. If it is the first thing you go after you shouldn't have any problems.

I think I know what you mean know. This is where I should go exactly at the 60 day mark since all 5 of us that are in our party are not showing up in the other fastpass section as of right now

Once you use up your initial Fast passes, what is the fastest way to obtain more fast passes for that park? How many can you get at once after using the 3 you were given?

You can only obtain additional FP+ one at at time, and currently they are only able to be scheduled at the in-park kiosks. The ability to schedule from the app is rumored to be coming, but no date released yet. Once you use #4, you can then schedule #5, and so on, with no limits other than time and ride availability!!

I was planning on using that same strategy. Glad to hear it worked, makes me a little less anxious about scoring those two too. Thx for sharing.

Wow! This thread is awesome! I've been reading through all the tips and tricks and I can't thank y'all enough! I have a couple of questions if anyone knows the answer:

1. Is getting a FP for Fantasmic worth it? We have small kids so we won't need them for the bigger rides, probably just Toy story mania. I remember the days where you had to get in line for Fantasmic an hour early just to get decent seats. Is this still the case? We're going in late February if that makes a difference!

2. For the parent swap, my sister is traveling with us and she will have an infant plus DS7 and DD9. If she and her husband both want to ride, can both of their older kids ride with each parent? Obviously the kids will only have one FP each but many rides seat 3 so we were hoping the kids could both go each time while the non-riding parent waits with the baby. Anyone experience this or have any tips for them?

Thank you all in advance!!

What rides would the baby not go on that seat 3??? Most of the rides that the baby couldn't go on are 1 or 2 seaters I think? I don't think you would get to rider swap with the 'family' rides. (I have taken an infant several times and havent needed to if that helps)

There is still a wait for Fantasmic. If you don't use a FP for it, a Fantasmic Dinner Package is another option to have a reserved seat.

I know this was posted somewhere else, but I can find it, and I apologize for a repeat question. My FP+ window opens next weekend, and I when I click on FastPass+ in MDE, I now only see myself (Me-needs valid park admission) and it NO LONGER shows the rest of my family. We have a hotel/ticket pkg.

Do I need to address this ahead of time, or will everyone show once my window opens? What has everyone experienced the last few days?

Thanks.

I was actually thinking of BTMR specifically. It seats three and the baby definitely can't ride!

We're doing the dining plan so I don't think Fantasmic dinner package is an option for us.
