FastPass+ Basic Info, Suggested Priorities, And Strategies--Part II

[Itinkso]

So I guess until it is our 60 day window we should just anticipate which 3 FP+ to book but can't really plan time slots until we see what the FP schedule is in the system for FSAL? Is that the only way, just arrange it on the fly based on what they offer as you book FP+?

Correct - the first Singalong is at 10:25 and the last is at 8:10. You have to see what pops up when you schedule your FPs. When checking 7 days out right now, morning shows and the last show of the day are still available.

SO what are people thinking of the Wishes FP+? Too crowded? Worth it? We have a Saturday planned with breakfast in the morning at Akershus, then maybe a ride of Test Track before going back to the resort and relaxing with an evening in MK. Since we won't need the FP during the day is this a scenario that makes Wishes FP worthwhile? It will be for my wife, 3 kids under 10, and myself.

I was looking around My Disney Experience today and when I clicked on the make fast pass plus reservations, only my name showed up on the page. It is outside our window but I want to make sure everything is in place so I can be ready to make these reservations. Should all the names of the people on my reservation be on the fast pass plus page or will they show up on the date I can make the reservations? Hope that makes sense....

They should show up once your window opens. That's how it worked for us last year.

Same for me, and when I try and sign in with my confirmation number, it says that the number is already in use. I hope once my FP window opens that it will let me sign in and make my sections. That is what a couple of people have told me, but I'm still worried.

Read the first post in this Thread. Mesa has it bolded: packages completely open at the 60-day window for FP booking.

Read that page at least 2 times. When you posted this, I went back to read it again and it stuck this time.
Booking Windows and Scheduling

1. For onsite guests, the 60-day prebooking window will not activate until the 60-day mark. For those with room-only plus active tickets, a 30-day booking window will currently be open in MDE as triggered by their tickets. At midnight (or 1:00a on certain nights) of the 60-day mark, the 30-day window will automatically expand to 60 (or more) days. Additionally, guests with resort/ticket packages commonly report that all members on the account with tickets don't appear on the MDX account until the 60-day mark.

Yes, I did read that. I didn't see anything pertaining to this message though, and that is what I was most concerned with.

@kjetjl has posted the bolded portion above^^^. Mesa has everything imaginable covered in the BOOKING section.

OK. I will state again, that I read the section in bold and it did not mention anything about the error message that I posted. And I read his very comprehensive post on FP+ many times and did not see anything specific to that message I got. I could be wrong though. If it is because I'm trying to link something that should not be linked, ok.(I had only wanted to look in the FP+ section to remind myself of what it looked like, and it asked for a number when I clicked on it) Does that mean on the day that my fast pass opens I will not even be asked to I put my confirmation number? That when I hit the make a FP+ button it will just give me options? I'm sorry, but not all of us can remember what we did last year. I am a person that cannot remember what she ate for dinner last night.

I've been following your posts here and yes, at exactly 60 days before your check in date, everyone in your package will magically appear in your MDE/MDX account. There is no need to attempt to link anything when you have purchased a package. Mesaboy covers everything in regards to Booking FPs. Error messages because you are attempting to link info that is already in your MDE account is not addressed in this thread.

@hiroMYhero, thank you.

If this has been covered recently I apologize. I remember a thread from a few weeks ago that described a way to get more then 1 extra FP+. The reservations stay in MDE even if you have used them or their time slot has expired. If you cancel those reservations even after you have used them it will allow you to book more FP+. I thought he said if you cancel all the reservations you could book 3 more in the same or even a different different park on that same day. Does anyone remember that?

The poster was experiencing a major glitch that benefitted him. The FP system does not register his used FPs and allows him to schedule an infinite number because he has an AP and has not maxed out his FP allotment. Appears to apply to a very small number of AP holders.

how can I find that thread? Do you remember the name of the user?

I seem to remember a couple of posts from different people on the thread that said it worked for them also.

I'm the one who wrote up the "test" for DrivenByDisney to run. The Thread title was "4th FP From App" and if DISboards wasn't so sucky on iPhones, I'd be able to link it here for you!

Thanks, you are awesome.

This may already be answered on here but I can't seem to locate it. Can I just get a FP from a park kiosk if I don't select advance FPs for that day or do I have to use 3 FP beforehand. The thing is I really don't want to rely on being in the park at a certain time on one of the days of my trip and I'm only interested in doing one FP if I decide to be in MK that day. Also does every ride at MK have a kiosk? Thanks and sorry if this has already been answered.

There are only a few kiosks in the park. When you enter MK, go into City Hall and find the two kiosks to the right of the main entry door.

Tap your ticket or MagicBand and the kiosk will allow you to choose up to 3 FPs. Because you only want one, scroll through the selections to see if the ride is available and continue wih the FP processes.

Great! That actually sounds good. As I don't have 3 FP for that day and only want to see if I can get 1.
