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

[chelseabun76]

I was just peeking at my mde and fp+ area, and it has the 3 of us going listed properly, but says 'needs admission tickets' beside each name. We all have 7 day hopper tickets with the package. I didn't know what to click on to have our tickets linked to our names, I tried linking but didn't work and I don't want to mess anything up! I have lots of time I was just peeking around any help?

If your tickets are showing under your reservations, you are fine. Everything will open up once you hit the 60-day window.

Thank you

I'm sorry if this has already been asked. If you are doing a split stay between two Disney resorts, can you book for the total of both stays at the 60 day mark for the first resort or do you have to wait until 60 days before the second resort to book the fast passes for those days? I hope what I'm asking makes sense. Thanks in advance!

I just booked mine (also have a split stay) and was able to book the entire trip at day 60.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Mesaboy2. I got on last night at midnight and was able to get all the fastpasses I was looking for thanks to the preparation I had done through this thread and the other link you have posted.

All I have to do now is sit back and wait another 60 days.

Do your Fast Pass show up on your MDE like your dining reservations?

Sure do!

Yes, that's correct. The return windows for parades/fireworks are about 20 mins prior to the event.

So if I have a FP that overlaps that 20 minute prior time, it won't show parade/fireworks?
Hmm
Would Space Mtn 310-410 conflict? That's after the 3pm start time.
What about splash mtn 245-345? When I'm modifying, this is the one that I'm trying to change, so it shouldn't be a conflict then, right.?

Yes, if you have an existing FP that overlaps the parade return window, you will not see it as an option....UNLESS you are trying to modify the FP that is IN that spot. So, if you had Splash at 245-345 and were modifying that attraction, you would see it a an option if there was any availability. And Space at 310 should be fine, as you are after the parade start time. (I don't have a FOF FP, but I do have one for MSEP, and the return window ends when the parade starts, so I'm assuming the FOF FP would work the same way.) If you are still not seeing it, 2 other things to check....do you have a FP prior to Splash that might be overlapping the return window on that end? Also, are you checking from the app or the website? I never saw parades or fireworks show up on the app, but could find them online no problem. Good luck!

 

[slzer0]

Oh crap. I'm only using the app.
To the website, Robin!

I don't know why, others have reported seeing them on the app, but I never did. Even when I KNEW it was there, having just checked the website, it would not show up in the app for me. Hope that works for you!!!

That is awesome!!

The help on these boards is amazing... I have learned more in the last few months on here than I have learned in the last few years of looking at Disney stuff!

I have a party of 3, I will be making our fp selections for all of us... Now what happens if one of the party can't make the trip and ends up calling Disney to cancel her tickets from the package reservation (we did the MYP). Will the fp for the other 2 in the party remain intact or do we have to start all over again? This isn't something we planned on, my mom will be doing radiation in December and she isn't sure if she'll be done in time or if she will be up for the trip and is insisting that my dd and I still go no matter what.

So sorry to hear that....hope your mom feels up for the trip and you can all go together as planned

Regarding the FPs, they are scheduled by individual name, so should not affect the others if you were to cancel just one member of your party. As long as your reservation number stays the same, I can't think of any glitch this would cause for you and DD in MDX.

Excellent, thank you IF she has to cancel, I'll be there on the phone with her and we can make sure the ressie # stays the same, etc.

The lack of A&E FP+ is really frustrating. That's all my DD asked for when we discussed booking FP+ for our upcoming trip.

How early in your window did you try?

I agree! I tried to book last night and found nothing! We are limited because of MVMCP which we are not attending so to make the most of our tickets our MK days have to be 12/1 and 12/3. Neither day had A&E last night at midnight.

On the bright side- I did get everything else I wanted at the times I wanted do I'm trying to focus on that.
