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

[Safari23]

Thanks Cluelyss! I didn't realize you could change the age. That makes sense. I'll try that!

You have a couple options here - first, you could try scheduling the FPs for you and DH, then DD could just use DH's MB to enter. OR, if DH wants to meet A&E as well, try going into DD's profile in MDX and change her age to 8 - then you will be able to schedule her alone. Then you can just change her age back once you get the FP. Good luck!!

I've made several single reservations for my 4 year-old, who is entered into the website as 4. (not that I plan to send him on anything alone obviously)
I wonder if that's because we have military tickets and they are all the same? (no separate child tickets, I think they are all classified adult)

I had no problems making single FP+ reservations for my 3 and 6 year old children on regular tickets, so not sure what causes this, but have heard switching the age fixes the problem?

I have a question that has probably been answered and I've been reading for 30 minutes so please excuse me if this is a repeat.
I added my 2 sisters in law to my MDE account, mostly because of the ADRs. They are not staying onsite and I have entered their tickets into my MDE but obviously not their resort reservation. They will probably only go to a couple of parks with us. Will this affect my ability to add fp+ at 60 days out? Also, if my family is going to MK on Monday, and they decide to do AK can we get 3 fps each for the park of our choice? (I.E. my family will get 3 each for MK while they get 3 each for AK) Does it matter if they don't have a MB or do they need one for their fps?
Thanks!

How do you switch the age? I went to MDE and I have to call tech support to change her birthday, and I'm not going to do that.
I'll be so glad when I finally make my fp+ choices. I've spent way too many hours on this! Whew!

Not sure how it works for offsite reservations (if they need MBs or not?), but you will be able to schedule for your family at 60-days prior to check in with no issue, you just won't be able to schedule anything for you SILs. Additionally, their FPs will not affect yours - can be the same or different, even in a different park, no problem. Just make sure that when you go to schedule your FPs, when you get to the page where you select your party, only select your family, not your SILs (you will have the option to "select all" - but you will want to specifically select those people that are staying on-site with you). Otherwise you will be locked out of scheduling at 60-days. They can then make their selections 30-days prior, and will need to schedule one day at a time. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much! I was worried about being locked out because I added them. I have gotten them MVMCP tickets and ressies for Tomorrowland Terrace as well and wanted to link them but I forgot about the fp+ selection. I was ready to can them, lol!

I looked at the first post and didn't see my answer. When is the very first booking return window in a park? Is it right at non-EMH rope drop or is it delayed?

9am-10am (no delay).

That's a good question. I'll add something in there about it. Thanks!

Thanks to you both!

Tonight is my night to make FP+ reservations. I feel excited, nervous, and a little sick to my stomach...lol.

It is so much simpler than I ever expected.
You got this!

Thank you!
I read a tutorial this morning, and I've gone over my choices about a hundred times...lol. I have a feeling I'm going to be less than useless tomorrow. Good thing my boss isn't going to be here!

I know it's probably here in this 30+ pages, but here's my question:

When I booked FP+ for my MK day, Thunder Mtn was not available at all. It wouldn't even let me choose it. I booked Splash Mtn instead, but would like to change it if I can. When I go into MDE and select to change that FP+ experience, is it only showing me the attractions available for that exact time slot? Or would it show me others as long as they don't conflict with any of my other FP+ times?

In other words, if I have Splash booked for 10:00-11:00, Space Mtn for 1:00-2:00 and Mine Train for 3:00-4:00, if I try to change Splash, am I only seeing what's available between 10:00-11:00 or would it show me that Thunder Mtn is available for 6:00-7:00 that night? Does that make sense?

It's not a trip-breaker, we can always ride Thunder Mtn standby; we had planned to have Splash Mtn as our standby wait, just because it might be chilly in November and we might not want to ride Splash if so.

Thanks for any insight!

Even though it says it is only searching for attractions from 10-11, it is actually searching the entire day. If you are on the app, it will but you into a similar time, which you can then change. If you are on the website, once you select the new attraction, you will get a drop down menu from which to choose from all available times that day. The only thing you will not see is if the only available time(s) conflict with another existing FP+ that you have scheduled.

Use the option to "make new FP+ selections" then just choose your date, park and party like you did initially. You will most likely get a warning that you already have selections made for that day, this is ok. Then once you arrive and add your additional day to your park tickets, you will be able to make selections for the new day, either via the app or in-park kiosks.

Just a head's up; I had to call to do that. Just so everything linked right.
