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

[clambert1273]

Unfortunately, the "official" web page has always had inaccuracies that WDW has been unable or unwilling to correct. Anyone who has actually used Rider Switch can point the glaring errors out.



Nothing has really changed, but...

Officially, the way it is done _in the parks_, is the only guaranteed way to get a Rider Switch pass is to have a child that does not meet the height requirement. You MAY be given a Rider Switch pass for other reasons - or you may be accommodated in some other way. It depends on the CMs, how many their are, how the attraction can load guests, etc. Giving out RS passes just because someone asks for one opens up to a lot of abuse.

For more specific information, see the link in my signature.

that was my thinking and I just wanted to plan proactively to be the least headache while we were there instead of "maybe" ... She won't even try them now so I have scarred her for life LOL

So the thing to do is _ask_ the greeter at the entrance how they might be able to accommodate you.

Per Disney's website, Rider Switch Service is available for those with children "who do not ride—either because they do not meet the height requirement or simply do not wish to ride". So you shouldn't have any issues given she is only 7. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/rider-switch/

When my DD was around 9-10 y, we did Rider Switch several times because she was afraid of ToT, Splash, RnRC, EE and always worked fine.
But it was 5 years ago...

Does anyone know how the single rider line at Test Track is compared to the fast pass plus line? DH and I are going to go on individually and want the fastest way so if they are both equally quick then we can change our fast pass to something else.

I've always done single rider at TT, and it's always been a short wait. However, I haven't been since the re-do, so I don't know if that's changed anything.

Thank you for your answer. I haven't been either since the redo so I wonder if there is someone who knows how it's going lately...

Unaware if this has already been answered but I'll ask anyway and face the consequences later. Anyway, I have a group of six going to the world and I have already made the Fastpass+ reservations for the entire week but only for five members of my party since one person has not purchased their tickets yet. I know as soon as they buy the ticket I should be able to add them to the Fastpasses already made but now I have a new member who could possibly be coming as well. My question is what is the maximum number of people I can add to preexisting Fastpasses?

I don't believe there is a limit to copying existing fp to another person you have linked in MDE, save the fp availability.

You can add as many as you want....subject to availability.

Ok I think I got this down. We are a group of 8 however only one child wants to meet Anna and Elsa (assuming we even get the change to snag a spot). Do I need to find two spots so that an adult can be with her or can an adult stay with her just for supervision without a FP+?

Yes, the adult would need a FP+ too in order to enter the queue with the child.

Ok thank you that is what I thought.

I am subscribing so I can get back to the thread and try to find my answer. (Unless someone just feels like answering)

We would like to meet up with another family for FP+ on one day of our trip. The midnight window for both of us opens the same day, however we are making individual plans for our other days. Is it best to link our MDE and one of us be in charge of the FP+ for our one day together or will that mess up the other person trying to schedule the rest of their FP's for the other days of their trip?
Should we each just do them separately? It's for Epcot, Soarin', and 2 tier 2's.

If there are children involved, just schedule them separately. Only one adult can be "in charge" of a child in MDX, so if you linked the other family to you, you would then need to make all of their FP selections. The Epcot FPs are not going to fill up at midnight, so if you both try for the sane times the night your window opens, you should be fine.

At the kiosks, can you change which FP+ you have? For example, say you have a FP+ for a ride and the standby time is actually not too long so you just wait in the standby. Can you change your FP+ or do you still have to wait until the first three are used to get a new one. I hope what I am asking makes sense!

You can use the kiosks to change any scheduled FP.

And you have to wait until those first three are used or expired to get a fourth--which can only be done at a kiosk.

My 60 day window opens tomorrow night. I have a 10 day park ticket but my room reservation is for 16 days. Will I be able to book my 15th and 16th days tomorrow or can I only book fastpass+ for the first 14 days?
On page 1 of this thread it reads: length of stay, up to 14 days...
Thanks!

I just want to report back and say that I was able to book fp+ for the whole length of my stay which is 16 days... thanks Mesaboy2!!

Great, and thanks for letting me know!

So with FoF can you only book that closer to your date or can you book it 60 days out like everything else? I keep hearing conflicting information about it and our window opens up tomorrow night.

Based on what I've gathered, it is first available at 60 days but goes very fast. Only my guess.

Fp/Rider Swap ?: There are 4 in our group, but only 3 who can ride most rides. There are a couple Fp that I only made for 1 person. Is it possible for that person to go check in for the ride with the "too small" person and ask for rider swap tickets for the other two waiting with the "too small" person? Just asking bc there may be times when the Fp isn't used but only the rider swap is. Not sure if that makes sense, but TIA!
