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

[kgkg]

No because FPs that were booked based on a reservation that was then canceled, are now being deleted. You need to take a look at the Throwaway Room thread as that is what you are proposing.

Thanks so much!

Can someone please explain to me how to "move up" your fastpasses on your phone?

See POST #3182 a couple of pages back.

I read this and thank you for directing me! So basically you can only "move up " the fastpass if it is available the hour before? Meaning if I had
10-11 SDMT
11-12 BTMRR
12-1 SM
If I finish SDMT at 10:15, I can log in and TRY to change BTMRR to earlier? But if its not available, I wont be able to, is that correct? You can only "move up" FP based upon availability?

 

[hiroMYhero]

That's correct. All FPs are based on availability, not your schedule.

I apologize if this was already asked in a previous post - I went to Fastpass on the WDW Website to see how the picking of fastpasses will look, our trip isn't until 10/31 so our 60 day window is 9/1. However, the dates listed available right now are only for the next 30 days.... am I going to have a problem with showing 60 days out rather than just 30? My reservation is linked to the My Magic Experience..... so it should be showing 60 days ahead rather than 30....

If you have an active ticket enabled in MDE, you can always see FP+ availability for the coming 30 days. Sounds like you may have already activated a ticket in MDE?

The 60 day FP+ window is tied to your resort reservation arrival.

I have linked both ticket and resort reservations.

When you are exactly 60 days out from your check-in day, your window expands to a full 60 days. Mesaboy has a section on this in the first post.

you know, if the email notifications were to keep working, I'd be more informed on this thread...

So currently they are canceling FP+ that were booked under a 60-day window for a specific reservation, even if another reservation exists?

When an onsite room is canceled between 60-31 days before arrival, the FPs are deleted. If the PP canceled the reservation as soon as FPs were booked, the FPs would be canceled because the 2nd reservation's booking window still had yet to open.

That's why I directed her to the Throwaway Room thread. There's also been info posted on the SDFP thread. I know mesaboy wanted to keep this thread to FPs specifics rather than morphing off into other realms.

If I'm understanding correctly :/ you can only obtain 1 FP+ PER HOUR at MK? So, if I get a fp for 4pm on a MVMCP night, I can then only get one for 5pm and again at 6? Having an hour window for each one? Sorry, I'm confused on the timing...

Yes, that's correct. Each return window is 60 minutes long and they cannot overlap.

On party nights, they have been ending FP return times at 6:30, so you'll need to start your first at 3:30 (or earlier) to be able to obtain 3 on your party ticket.

Thank you! Great info!

I would appreciate it if this thread kept to the straight question-and-answer format that it and its predecessor have followed for more than 2 years now. I believe I have the support of the moderators when I respectfully ask to keep judgment, debate, and argument out of it--none of these are welcome here.

(ETA: This post made more sense last night.)

So i got an Anna and Elsa FP for our last day of the trip--but the time we got is at night, after our plane leaves for home! There were no fastpasses left for the day prior to our last day, either, and i logged on to get my FPs the second the site allowed me too (midnight Aug 3). Is there any chance that they will let me get an earlier FP time if I call pre-trip or plead with CMs at the park? If not, will I be able to meet A&E at the Halloween party when the lines may be shorter? What am in for here? This is the part of my trip my kids are looking forward to most but a 5 hour line is just not something i can manage. Thanks in advance!

Lines lines have gotten much more manageable, but if you are unable to find an earlier time, right at rope drop (especially during EMH), at the end of the night, or during the party would be your best options for minimal waits.

However, don't give up hope in finding an earlier time, as people change their plans frequently. Keep searching and try splitting your party up into smaller groups if needed. There are also several cancellation boards out there where you may be able to coordinate a drop and grab.

Good luck!!

 

[mkh531]

Thanks! I thought there wouldn't be any MK early EMH during our stay but i see now that there is one day that there is. I guess I will wake the girls early and make a beeline for A&E at rope drop. Maybe the wait will "only" be 2 hours

Which one usually has shorter stand-by wait, Tower of Terror or Rock n’ Roller Coaster (Single Rider)?

I’m going to have a late arrival at Hollywood Studios, after 4pm, mid September. Which of these two should I get a FP+ for?
