I've read somewhere and want to confirm that concierge desk at my hotel can secure 4th fast pass for second park I plan to visit in evening (I have ph). Is that true? Planning on using 3 fp+ at HS, lunch & pool at BC, then MK in evening. Would like to make 4th fp selection at lunch time while selection may be better and not have to go to the MK kiosk to do it. Thanks for your help
When you make your original attraction selections, anything that is unavailable already on that day will say "distribution done" and will be greyed out (so you cannot even select it). You can then go back and change your date immediately to search for availability on a different day without going through the rest of the steps.Thanks Cluelyss. Do you know what happens if one of the 3 you select is not available (ex: A&E)?
Hello! We will be at DHS at park opening and heading to TSM first thing. Do I need to get a FP+ if we'll be there early? I'm not sure how the stand by line is affected. TY!

ok, A&E question here. Didn't read through all 120 pages, so I apologize if it has already been asked. I am contemplating whether to book an A&E FP or try for just going toward closing and waiting in line, as many say the lines are sometimes 20 minutes or less around fireworks times. Planning 2-3 evenings at MK, so we are ok missing the fireworks on one of those evenings. Has anyone had any experience with just waiting until near park closing and being able to do A&E without FP and not waiting a ridiculous amount of time? Was wondering if A&E is also available during EMH, like from 12-2am? I have one dd (6) and 2ds, and my ds (9&13) are not going to go for FP to A&E. I would like to avoid the confusion of booking for an individual vs. booking for the entire party, as it seems FP+ for a newbie will probably already be overwhelming enough. Thanks for any advice you can send my way![]()
A&E do meet during late EMH. Save Disneywaittimes.com to your mobile device and you'll be able to view accurate wait times.
You should at least try for FPs for A&E for your last MK day. After confirming and completing all your days of FPs, you can go back and change the FPs for your two sons as they can go ride something by themselves as they are old enough. Just change their experience, don't cancel anything. I'm sure the 13 year-old can assist you.![]()
Hello everyone. I haven been to WDW since 2008 and there was no FP+. I have a few questions Im hoping someone can help me out with. Do the water parks have FP+? If so if I go to a wp in the morning and a park in the afternoon could I schedule FP+ for both the wp and park that day? Also Im going solo do I really need a FP+ for fireworks, parade or nighttime show? Going back to WDW sometime either last week of Sept or early Oct. Ty for your time.
What does a FP+ attendant do when they see kids in the FP+ line who look 2-3 yrs old?
As I understand the policy, a 2 yr old needs no ticket, while a 3 yr old needs a ticket and FP+ reservation. Do they usually just wave all the young-ish kids through when the adults have a reservation? Ask to see birth certificates?
I'm traveling with a mixed age group and curious.

QQ, sorry if it's been covered already (did a search of thread and didn't see it). Basic question is technically will a FastPass+ work if you haven't first scanned the corresponding MB for park entry? E.g. if you have 4 people to staying at a Disney resort, 4 MBs, 4 FP+ reservations, but just two of you go to the park and you want to use the FP+ for the other two people in your party. While I'm sure this it is against policy to use someone else's MB/FP+, I see people do it all the time (e.g. if their kid doesn't want to ride a ride, another kid will go in their place -- sometimes it is more obvious when the sex doesn't match up), and I've never seen a CM do anything about it, so unless it's technically prevented, my guess is you can probably get by with it. That said, I could see where this could get abused (e.g. you could feasibly create imaginary guests on your Disney resort reservation to get more MBs than people in your party, then user the phantom guests' MBs/FP+). As such, I'm all for Disney enforcing this to prevent abuse, but in the mean time if they aren't enforcing it, it would be nice to use in the above scenario where you legitimately have a FP+ for a paying guest, who can't use it (e.g. sick, tired, etc.). Thanks.

Park entry does not affect FP usage. The FP tapstiles only link/read FP data and it doesn't care about ticket usage at all.
1. I'm pretty sure it's not against policy, since, like you said, people do it all the time and CMs don't say anything.
2. The only way that would work is to buy tickets for the imaginary guests, which seems like a pretty expensive way to get more FPs.
But to answer your question, although with legacy FP, ticket media had to be used to enter a park in order to get FPs, I'm positive I've read that it isn't necessary for a Magic Band to be used for park entry for the FPs linked to them to be used.
