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

[mesaboy2]

Another reminder to keep this thread focused on the facts of FP. Editorializing on the merits is not welcome here--you can start a new thread or find any of hundreds of others for that.

From the OP:

As with the original thread, this one will only be useful if commentary and debate regarding the pros and cons of FP+ versus Legacy FP is kept out of the discussion. Virtually all FP+ threads that start down that road become locked and useless, and I will request the mods delete such posts when I see them.

Once you use your first FP, is it possible to then switch your 2nd or 3rd FP to the same ride you used your 1st FP for? For example... I have Splash, IASW, and PP scheduled. After I use my Splash FP, can I change my IASW FP for Splash again (provided there are times available)?

I don't believe so, but I'm honestly not sure. The original three selections must be for different attractions, I'd be surprised if just using one changed that.

Thank you mesaboy2

That's my biggest issue with FP+ as we're not big ride people. We always end up wasting 2 FP at most parks. I was hoping we could reschedule FP 2 or 3 after the first is used. I was thinking (and hoping) that when the first is used, it's gone and won't "register" therefore allowing us to reschedule for the original ride (if that makes sense).

Forgive me if this answer is here but I have not been able to find it anywhere but if you want to book a particular ride like the SDMT is it better to book just that one fast pass plus immediately and then go back and do the other two or must you select three at once?

You must initially select three.

Can someone please remind me:

What happens if I miss my fast pass return time?
(If dinning ran late or on a broken ride)

If I can reschedule is it for the same ride but just a later time?

Thank you for your time. I know that it has been asked before and I did write the answers down, but now I can not find them.

Thanks, I did read it through before posting. Missed it then, but see it now.

On this subject... "If an FP+ return window has passed without being used, that FP+ can be rescheduled to later in the day (subject to availability)."

I'm pretty sure I read this at some point, but didn't see it in the first post -- does it have to be rescheduled for the same park as the original?

E.g. I have 3 scheduled for MK, miss my last one, then hop to AK -- can I reschedule that unused MK one for AK?

AND/OR can I pull a 4th FP+ from AK, even if I didn't use my 3rd pre-booked one?

In this case, the original three FPs have either been used or expired, so you should be able to book a 4th FP at a different park. That's my understanding of it anyway.

Ok -- thanks! So a no-go on rescheduling that expired one to another park, probably...

Kind of a grey area in the system. Whether you can book a 4th or reschedule the one that has passed should effectively be the same thing, unless you can't reschedule that expired one to a different park--and I could see that being a problem. Not enough reports back on these more unusual situations to answer for sure in my opinion.

Gotcha'. Maybe I'll engineer this situation and test it out in 5 days!!

We're probably not the only ones interested in the answer. Have a great trip!

Looks like the trade thread has expanded to include SDMT. Thought it was worth a mention here.

which ride is SDMT?
