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

[doconeill]

Is this pretty much the only option? I'd rather not even make her walk over there. Can I scan her band without her (ie - scan 5 bands for our party of 4)?
Oh, we will have APs - scanning the card is the same as scanning the band, right? So, could I take her card with me and she keep her band in case she purchases a snack or something while we ride?

Also, is there only 1 place to scan the bands at all/most rides? I thought I read something about having to scan them in two locations on a few rides.

There will be one or usually two readers at the entrance. Then you also have to scan at the merge point. So I'm not sure scanning at the entrance and then handing it back will work.

Also, there are CMs monitoring the scanning. If they are paying attention and see you scan two separate devices, you'll likely be questioned.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll post my question as a new thread. I'm sure this has been an issue for others with family members who don't ride all the rides.

I'm sure this has been answered before, so I apologize if it is a repeat. If I am part of a 4 person group (myself, wife, son & daughter) can I prebook a FP+ for the wife and daughter to see Anna & Elsa while son & I prebook for another ride? Will that mean that we each still have 2 more? So we can prebook say Space Mountain & Splash Mountain for all 4 of us? Or does the Anna & Elsa for wife and daughter mean that our group used up 1 of 3 available FP+ for our group of 4. Hope this makes sense.

Yes, it's 3 per person.

But, according to the link in the first post, I think your initial booking will need to be 3 of the same for everyone. Then, you go in and change out the one you want to split up. There's a link in the first post showing screen shots of the steps.

So I go in the app to check for A&E and I finally see it but when I try to book it I of course get an error. I call and get a long line of crap from Disney that is basically don't use the app. This is the 3rd time I have been told by a CM that I shouldn't use the app. Then why do you have it and why do we have to jump through these hoops? It isn't working but they will never admit it. And no A&E for us. They we gone by the time I got her to look.

The app has for me got most of my 7dmt FPs. Keep checking individually and then try to change times and overlap together. I lost an ADR reservation due to an error and that was on my laptop. I was so annoyed.

I am trying to do Fastpass Plus now and it won't let me in. I thought it opens at midnight?

I just bought and loaded tickets today from the Dis store. I am glad to see you are here also.

Same here. Please keep us updated if and when you book for December 11th!

I set my alarm it's 5am in the uk! Not impressed!

 

[disneyfreak71]

It's Open!

I know in the OP Mesaboy2 talks about the MDX app being glitchy. If you use the website on your mobile device to change fast pass + during your trip is it still glitchy?

Thanks, I have all the ones I wanted and times and DO NOT want to mess it up.

Has anyone here used the FP+ preferred viewing for MSEP? Wondering about what time we can expect for it to pass by the hub if it starts at 9. Thx!!!

Knowing where it is on the route, I would estimate 6-8 minutes from parade start in Town Square.

As always, thanks for the great information. Given this, we could expect the parade to be completely past us by about 9:30 then??

Yeah, should be well into Frontierland by then if not wrapping up completely.

Mesaboy- Thought I'd get an expert opinion! I chose our fast passes last night, and used one for the Festival of Fantasy Parade. Do you think that's a good use of a FP? We have a 3 year old, and unless she grows 2" in two months, we won't be able to do Splash. We like to sit on the curb as close to the action as possible because we've found the characters really interact with our daughter. Does the FP make this easier, or are we better off just lining up early for a spot on our own? TIA

I know this has been asked and answered before, but how do I book FP+ individually if we are traveling with a child under 7? The system kept telling me that I had to book our DD with an adult.
