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

Thanks, everyone.

I feel better now. I thought the person was wrong.

He seemed very adamant about it.

Hi,

I booked a quick trip over Columbus weekend and I have 3 day/park hoppers.

I have reserved my FP+ for each day....but I am not sure that we will use them...still working out my "plan of attack" and there were not alot of FP+ left...

If I have 3 FP+ for one park but we decide to hop to another park before FP+ expires do I have to cancel it in the first park so that I can get a FP in the next park? Or do I still have to wait for the last one to expire before I can get a FP+ at the second park?


Can I continue to tweek the 3 fastpasses on the day of use, as long as they haven't expired?

If I cancel all of them that day, can I get 3 more that day or do I only get to do one at a time, like the old FP?

Thanks!

Your 3 originals must be used or expired at park 1 before you can schedule new ones at park 2 (not sure if canceling works the same way?). However, subsequent FP+ in park 2 can only be scheduled one at a time, and via an in-park kiosk (for now). But you can tweak throughout the day on the app, subject to availability.

A few days ago I modified a few reservations on the MDE app. I still don't see the changes on the app... but they are on the website. Anyone else see this?

Also, is the FP for the Frozen Singalong worth it? I just got one for October 5 but now second-guessing it.

We got one too. Probably don't need it, but I'd rather have it scheduled than run the risk of the particular time we want being full. Also, there was only 1 other Tier 2 FP+ that we wanted, so didn't mind "wasting" a pick. But if there are other things you really want to schedule at HS, you can likely walk into the SAL.

Between Frozen and Star Tours, which do you think is more important to have a FP+ for?

Flip a coin.

Order to select more ... Or can you use one and get one.... ?

You must use all three first. Answers to this and many other FP FAQs can be found in the first post.

Anyone else log into MDX at least once a day to make sure all your FP+ are still there??!!

We used the OP's guidance and suggestions during our May trip and found them to be spot on. We're headed back Dec 27-Jan 2 and will continue to follow top choices in most cases. But I'm wondering if preferred access might be of higher value during super-crowded times?

For example, on our AK day we will get EE and Safari FPs. Don't want to potentially waste one on Kali; if it's cold, we won't want to get wet. We definitely want to see FotLK, as it was closed in May. If we choose that for our third FP, might we have to stand in line for less time?

After reading this whole thread, and most of the original, I am not looking forward to scheduling my FP's tonight. I am going to a MVMCP while we are there in November so I'm hoping that whatever I can't get tonight will be easily experienced that night. From the reports of the early MNSSHP's, the wait times for 7DMT are 20 minutes or less after 11:30 pm on party nights. Luckily I'm going with my teen daughters who can easily stay until the end.

I imagine so.

But just consider, the relative value of any FP goes up during that time so the overall priorities I have in the OP don't much change.

I like our chances. I too am encouraged by what I'm seeing at the early parties. Only time will tell.

Anyone else's window open tonight?
I'm hoping for 7DMT, Space, Wishes for one day, and Thunder, Splash, FoF the other day.

Wish me luck! I'm going to try from my tablet browser but have my phone as a backup. I'll pop on when we are done and let you know.

Do I need to schedule my 2yo for the mountains since he can't ride?

I was thinking of scheduling him a FP for something else, but he needs a corresponding adult, so that adult would need a FP for that ride, too.
I'm not sure if this affects them if they come back with the rider swap or not.

I hope that makes sense.

Like, mom+daughter Splash,
Get rider swap for Dad.
While he waits dad+son use Pooh FP.

Also confirming:

Once booked, I can look for new times without losing the pass.

 

[slzer0]

In booking a high demand FP, doesn't matter how long I take to book the other two?

If I'm trying to book something like wishes or mine train, should I just go ahead and pick a time for that and select two randoms so that I can get it saved, and then go back and work on the two randoms afterward? Or does it not matter?

I'm worried that once I pick my mine train time, if I take too long fiddling around with the others, when I go to save it that time won't be available. I hope this makes sense

This! It's too complicated to try to get 6 people for 7dmt.. I can get one but trying to get the other 5 well I just don't have time.. Christmas party is going to be our best bet
