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

[doconeill]

Check my math for me... I'm staying on-site starting November 17th. That means my 60 day window opens at midnight on September 18th right?

Also one family member has an annual pass, but I need to buy a 5 day hopper and link it to MDE before the 18th. How soon do I need to do that? If I buy the hopper on line can I link it right away, or do I have to physically wait for a card to be mailed to me (which will take a few days).

Thanks!

Yes, the 18th is correct.

If you buy online, you should get a willcall/order number, that will allow you to link it right away. I'd give a day or two for it to be fully active before getting FP+ though.

Nope, no specific times. Just days. Thanks for the best order to go. TSMM and 7DMT are probably the hardest ones on my list. I just hope it's not so much a rush that, if it takes me an hour to do for the entire trip, I miss out for being slow on the last ones.



Good luck to the both of us, then. Luckily, I work second shift and am wide awake at this time anyway. 7:00am for calling in my ADRs turned me into a zombie, though...



Less important if I'm not doing that one, then?

The parade and fireworks thing is a little bummer for me. I have some for the night of my resort days, just in case. I should be able to watch them on my park days but, just in case they like it a lot, I wanted to have some at as a back-up nightly treat if my family wants to see them again.

Different question. Am I able to, at 60 days, just choose two on one day? My plan is to do just two early on and then, when they're used up, find a kiosk or go on the MDX app/site and book another first tier item for the night.

No, you have to choose three.

 

[waffocopter]

No, you have to choose three.

Huh, good thing I asked. It affects my arrival day too, then. I'm only going to be able to squeeze in one ride for my arrival day, before MNSSHP. Despite that fact, I still have to book three even though I can only possible use one in that span of time?

The system forces you to pick 3 initially. After they are set you can move them, ignore them, or cancel them. I don't recommend the last one.

What is the secret to obtain FP+ for Wishes?

What is the secret to obtain FP+ for Wishes?

Book it ASAP when your FP+ window opens.
(If you are staying at a WDW Resort, that would be at Midnight, Eastern Time, 60 days before your check-in date.)

If your trip is for say, 8 days, FIRST try to book the Wishes FP on your 6th, 7th or 8th day at the parks.

 

[cath1979]

OMg just finish mkaing my FP+..You so have to play with the schedule to try to get what you want..pretty happy on my first night at MNSSHP.. was able to book space for 4, peterpan for 4 and.. 7DMT for..3 all between the 4pm and 7pm window.. now just hopping to be able to add a 4 person en 7DMT during the next 60 days..all the rest was pretty easy..except the parade..still have the glitch and nothing is available for all my trip... impossible that both parade are already full for november 6

 

[waffocopter]

I finished mine about an hour after starting. I was able to adjust all the times to what I wanted except one. For some reason, I can't get the safari for any time later than 3:30 to 4:30 when the park closes at 6. I was hoping for a 5-6 spot. Everything else was fine.

 

[cath1979]

You know that, and I know that, and the PP knows that, but does MDX know that? I don't remember.

yes it work like a charm..I could make 9 days of FP+

I have to book my fast passes tonight and I was wondering if A&E was impossible to get?

I have to book my fast passes tonight and I was wondering if A&E was impossible to get?

I booked last Monday. I could have booked one for late afternoon 5 days into my trip, but we were not planning on being in the park that long. That was the first one I looked for at midnight. It is definitely the hardest to get. Had no problem with SDMT for two different days.

Thanks so much for the reply. I plan to start looking right at midnight because I have a 5 year old DD who is obsessed with A&E! Do I have to book fast passes for our whole family or could I just book for DD and myself? My DS8 and DS2 would hate to wait to meet A&E and so I thought they could do something else without a fast pass with DH.

I would definitely just choose the two of you, that will give you a better chance of getting it. When you start setting up FP+ you select who you are booking for. You can go back and do the others after.

The other three have to have 3 FP+ as well during the day, so you may as well book them a FP for the same time on something else.

Thank everyone so much for the helpful information!

Thank everyone so much for the helpful information!

I have another question I just thought of. What do I do about my DS2? He doesn't need tickets so does that mean he doesn't need fast passes? Can he still ride the fast pass rides with us?

 

[mesaboy2]

He doesn't need FPs and can accompany someone who does.

I wanted to report back since I asked a question about booking FP+ with regular tickets and an MNSSHP ticket. I have a 6 day park hopper and one MNSSHP. I was allowed to book 7 days of FP+ and it DID NOT matter what day or park I booked FP+ for using the MNSSHP ticket. I booked FP+ for October 29- Nov 4th. There are MNSSHP party nights on Oct 29, 31 and Nov 1. I did NOT book any MK FP+ on any of the party days. I did book FP+ for MK for two days but neither were party days. I wasn't sure whether I had to book at least one day of MK FP+ on a party night, but I didn't.

So just wanted to let others know that the MNSSHP ticket when combined with a regular ticket allows you to book an extra day of FP+ at any park, not just MK on a party date.
