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

Looks like the random 1:00a silliness is back.

ETA: May not be random, but related to MK 1:00a closures as has been the case the last two days. First post updated to include theory.

could it have something to do with larger crowd projections? The crowd calenders start to pick up 60 days from 2 days ago- maybe they are trying to thin out the people hitting the system at midnight?

And it was last night?

Yeah it was last night. Desktop.

My DD is 5 and we aren't sure if she'll actually want to go on some of the rides or if some will be too intimidating for her (BTMR, SM etc). So, currently, there are some rides that I only have 1 FP for (so my dh or myself can wait with the two kids). If I am the rider with the Fp, can I go up and get 2 rider swap tickets (one for DH and one for DD IF she says she wants to ride it after all?). TIA!

I got fps for everything I wanted- including 7DMT and A & E for 9 people- I got in at 1- I guess everyone else gave up!!! Can't believe it, I didn't even have to split up the group.

That's awesome. I get to make myFP+ Nov 16th and I need 9 for each of those as well.

A single Rider Switch ticket is good for up to three people.

Ok thanks! Follow-up?: Do you get the Rider Switch ticket right when you check-in and give it to the others or do you get it after the ride?

See the link in my signature for full details, but you get it when you check in. You need to present the child that is too small and they may measure if it is close.

Full proper procedure would be they hand you the ticket when you enter the ride, and you hold on to it, then after you return you can present it to the one who stayed behind. Not many follow that part of it, and you can usually give it to the one who stayed behind before you enter.

Just to add to the info - I logged a bit before midnight last night to make FP+ and tried at exactly midnight and on and off for the next hour - nothing. But precisely at 1 AM (EDT), my December vacation dates opened up.

 

[mgothel]

Is there any way that one person can be on a iPad looking at FP times, while someone else is on the laptop making the FP reservations?

Good question! I'm interested in an answer regarding this too!

If I am waitlisted at a DVC resort and book a cash trip just in case, set up my FP+ for my stay and one of my waitlists come thru so I cancel my cash trip, how is this done??
Cancel my cash trip and move my FP+ to my dvc waitlist.....

thanks

The plot thickens.

I belong to a disney group on FB and asked about this. The administrator of the group said he was able to log in last night at midnight also.

Is it still the case that you can't book Festival of Fantasy, Wishes, or MSEP at the 60 day mark for FP+? I have this down in my original research of FP+ done a few months back, but don't currently see it in the 1st post. Also can I book FP+ for the night we are attending the Christmas party? Are there FP+ available for the Christmas parade perhaps? TIA!

 

[Angel Ariel]

Interesting tha tthe 60 day window apparently opened for different people at different times. Is it possible that it could be related to resort tier? Deluxe opening at midnight?

(Don't want this to be taken as a report...I'm honestly just asking/curious)

We are staying at POFQ (moderate resort), and it opened at midnight for me.

Our trip just finishes up, but I was able to book the FoF parade at my 60+7 day - it was 'sold out' prior to that.

Was this midnight in the eastern time zone?

 

[mgothel]

Yes!

Another question, how do I link tickets from my MDX to my DH MDX account? I've linked his ticket, and mine, but somehow can't figure out how to link the rest of the family to his account. TIA
