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

[ckelly14]

A couple of questions please... 1) If we only stay one night on property, but have tickets for 8 days, do we get to make FP+ for all 8 days at the 60 day mark? 2) Do we get magic bands if we only stay one night at Disney resort? Thanks sooooo much for your help!

Yes, you will get magic bands. And yes, you will be able to make day 1&2 FP reservation at 60 days from check in, and the other days 60 days prior to that day. For example, if you check in dec 1st, you could make Dec 1&2 on Oct 1st, but will have to wait until oct 3rd for dec 3, oct 4 for dec 4, etc

Assuming I were to burn up all three FP ressies by noon in one park, by the time I parkhopped to another, what would yall estimate the selection of attractions and return times at the new park to be like?

For example, if I could arrive at DHS by 1:30, would I be able to access a kiosk and make a ToT or RnR FP reservation that could be used relatively quickly, or would I looking at late evening return time (if one was available at all)?

The reason I ask is because the wife and I are planning on arriving at RD each morning, and then heading back to All Star Sports around noon to let the kids nap. During their afternoon nap, I plan on heading to some of the larger rides that the kids and wife aren't up for, and then returning around 5 to Sports.

PS-The trip is Dec 19-24, so it's going to be busy.

I would say that chances are not great but as a party of 1 - you have more than a chance than if there were 2 of you! The single rider lines where applicable may help too...

Yea, that's what I figured. Is there a list out there anywhere of rides with single rider lines? I know RnR has one and I think TT might, too.

RNRC, TT and EE are the only 3 attractions with single-rider lines.

Thank you! I would not have been happy trying to figure that out at 0000! And probably been doing this

I just logged into myDisneyexperience and it has my hotel AoA on there with park tickets, but still says I have to wait until 30 days prior? Why might it be doing this? Thank YOU!!

It might be doing that thanks to Bullet 3 under Booking Windows and Scheduling in the first post.

 

[tripleup05]

I am pleasantly surprised at the FP+ reservation system. At 12:03am, I got morning reservations for A&E, 7DMT, and the Christmas parade on 12/24.


My worrying was much ado about nothing.

So, I make my FP selections tonight. Just to confirm, when I go into the day/park I want, what will it ask me? If I want morning, afternoon, evening? Do they ask early AM, late AM? And then will I pick my three attractions and they just give me times? And then I can go back and modify?

 

[Angel Ariel]

I.believe there are video tutorials on easywdw that will walk you through the process of booking fp+

First they will ask what 3 attractions. Then they will give a handful (3 or 4) selected itineraries of times. You can pick one itinerary, and then later you can change individual times.

re: Fast Pass + and Halloween Party

I've browsed through the forum and see that some folks report they have been able to get Fast Pass + during the 4pm - 7pm time period before the Halloween party starts, and some folks say they haven't been able to do so

I tried using My Disney Experience to reserve Fast Pass, but it wouldn't let me using my Halloween ticket confirmation numbers

so - my question is, have people with Halloween only ticket been able to make Fast Pass + reservations when they get to the park at 4pm? or how have they been able to do it?

You should be able to make FP in advance with your MNSSHP ticket in MDE. You can only make it 30 days in advance (unless you are staying on site).

thanks, I'll keep trying then

I have e-tickets which doesn't have the ticket number on them, just the confirmation number, if that makes a difference

Is your MNSSHP ticket linked in MDE? Is it within 30 days? If yes to both then you should be able to make FP now.

I tried to link it in MDE, but it's giving me an error message

yes, its within the 30 day period

I thought it was because the MNSSHP ticket was not eligible to use the Fast Pass system, but since you're saying I should be able to do it, I will call customer service and see what they say

I was able to book FP+ using a Christmas Party ticket. But, we have another ticket and hotel reservations as well. Maybe a, ticket only, party ticket is different? Are you sure your tickets are linked to your MDE account? If so, try again. The system is glitchy and does weird things.
I am hoping one of the experts have an answer for you, this is still all knew to me!!
