Totally agree Cluelyss

I'm so glad no one in my party cares about A & E. I feel bad for all of you that are stressing over it. I have enough stress as it is just trying to keep everything straight!

In Epcot and Hollywood Studios only, FP+ attractions are divided into two groups. Guests are able to make 1 selection from Group 1, and 2 selections from Group 2. The list above uses the following scheme (applying to the attraction's name) to identify FP+ attractions in Group 1 and Group 2:

Stupid question, sorry if this was answered somewhere in the 155 pages, but what if you didn't want a selection from Group 1? Can you make 3 selections from Group 2? We might be doing rope drop at Epcot to get our Group 1 attractions in and want to use FP for other stuff later in the day.

No.

(It's not a stupid question because the system is ridiculous.)

 

[photogineer]

No.

Well, that's kind of annoying... Ah well, I guess we'll just do one less headliner at rope drop and do something else then, it all works out I suppose...

Has anyone seen a 4th FP available for the Mickey M&G at Town Square theater? Or for Cinderella? I could not stomach using up all my fastpasses for DS to meet characters, but some of these lines have looked ridiculous lately. We plan to spend Rope Drop in Fantasyland mostly so I can't hit all the characters then either or we miss out of Peter Pan and some other things we were going to try to hit early. I could probably swing a Cinderella near RD, but I don't know what to do about Mickey.

Do Mickey at the end of the night, either with a 4th FP or standby. His line will be real short during the 1st parade, too.

On a night where MK closes at 10 and Wishes is at 9, would I be able to schedule FP+ for Wishes and a ride with a 9-10 pm window? Or is that considered overlapping?

I understand the ride return times, but the shows and fireworks are confusing me. Is there a good explanation somewhere that I've missed?

help! I read through the first two posts trying to find an answer with no luck!!
I made all of our fp's last night at midnight. We have 8 of us going. I just clicked select all and made the fp's and figured I'd go and adjust what I need to afterwards. I would like to de-select my dad from a few things like splash mountain , but keep him on things like Peter Pan. I can't figure out how to delete a fast pass selection after they've all been made.

Yes! I just went into my FP area and had the options for Wishes (10:00 start time) followed by Barnstormer with a window opening at 10:15.

The system appears to be maximizing and optimizing the FP scheduling. Good luck to you!!

You need to return to the FP area of MDE > Modify FPs. You can choose a different ride for him, or, you can just let someone else use his FP/MB for a 2nd ride.

I am going the week on XMAS...with crowd levels being so big should we waste a FP on the fireworks?

No.

(Especially based on the fact that you said, "Waste a FP.")

 

[neto0312]

No.

(Especially based on the fact that you said, "Waste a FP.")

I guess that might have been a rhetorical question...but I guess I was looking for someone to validate that I shouldn't wait to use a FP for Wishes..

 

[khurley23]

my window just opened but I can't see my friends and family that are going my trip later in the week. I thought I'd be able to book for everyone. do I have to wait for their 60 day window to open?

If they have a package booked, yes you have to wait because their tickets aren't "active."

Bumped as a public service....

 

[AgletWDW]

Thanks you for bumping this!

Couple questions...
1. I'm staying on property and my sister and her family are staying off. Right now I control my MDE account for my family and my BIL controls his MDE account for his family. We just linked his and my accounts. Can I book just my family's FP+ and my BIL book theirs or do I have to book for everyone?

2. In my family it is myself, DH, DS#1, DS#2, and DD. DD is not tall enough to ride Soaring and Test Track. Can I book a FP for myself and DS#1 for Test Track and then get a kid swap for DH and DS2 to ride, then book a FP for DH and DS 2 for Soaring and then have them get a kid swap for ds1 and myself? Is that allowed?

No.

I laughed out loud. Really. Thank you.
