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

[irene_dsc]

Oh, and I think I had two windows (or more!) while I was setting up my FP+, logged in on both windows. No problem there.

I think what you're asking is whether or not it is smart enough to show you your ADR's while you are reserving FP+, so you don't overlap meals and FP+. And no, it doesn't. It is very likely that at least one of the options will be during your ADR. Also, the online itinerary doesn't show me my ADR in the same place as the FP+, but the android app does show them all in a nice list.

MDX will show a "warning" if a FP and ADR overlap once scheduled (in your plans).

By the way, I realized my ADR's weren't linked to MDE, so I'm not sure if that made a difference. I now have them linked. I went back to mock edit one, and didn't see my ADR on the screen anywhere with the list of FP+.

I believe you can see both under "my plans" on the app (and it's maybe "my itinerary" on the website)? Maybe someone who has both right now can confirm, I don't currently have any FPs scheduled. But I know for my trip in October there was a page where I could see everything.

I can see them both on my Itinerary on the website in MDE, but when actually scheduling FP+, you don't see the ADR's, unless I'm missing something.

Sorry, I must have misunderstood your question. No, there us nowhere to see them when you are scheduling. But you will see an alert if you do overlap them once everything is finalized.

Mesaboy- just wanted to say thank you for all the time you put into this thread, as well as all the others regarding FP+. Though its tedious to plan 60 days out, using your tips I was able to get every FP we wanted (A&E, fireworks, night parade, 7 dwarfs, etc) and at excellent times.

Has anyone ever had any issues or problems with buying some of the themed Magicbands that you can buy in the parks (i.e. not linking correctly or messing up FP+/Dinning reservations when the new one is linked)?

I just know my daughters are going to want one when they start seeing some with princess on them but, I want to make sure it's not going to cause in issues.

Yes, this is what is happening. Thanks for all the replies.

Just link the new MagicBands to your MDE account. The MagicBand just provides the link to the data in your MDE account. It doesn't affect any of the information in your MDE.

We have 2 rooms for our family of 4 that are linked together. When I make FP+ reservations, I want to make an A&E for my daughter and me, but not for my DH or DS. Can I make something different for them?

Initially, no. Once you've made the selections for everyone, you can edit them individually.

Yes, just uncheck their names when you make the fastpass

Mesaboy, thank you for your work on this thread. Even though I did not start making FP+ reservations until the 58-day-prior mark, I was prepared, knew what I wanted, and knew how to change/manipulate times without loosing anything. I had no problems getting every FP+ I wanted for a party of six (including 7DMT and Anna and Elsa). Each day in the park is a 0930, 1030, and 1130 FP+ reservation. Thanks again!

We always take midday breaks, leaving the parks around 1 pm and going back to a different park around 5-6 pm.

My initial thought was to book our FP+ for our PM parks. I think I'm going to stick with my plan after reading this thread.

Current Debate:
MK FP+ ... Definitely going to try for Mine Train. After that I would want Splash Mtn, Space Mtn, and Big Thunder Mtn.
Should I get FP for Splash & Space.. Then get FP for Big Thunder after I use all 3?
OR.. Run to Big Thunder as soon as we get in the park ? Or run to Space Mountain and use the FP for Big Thunder instead?

Oh The possibilities

I have read through most of this post and looked at the link with the screenshots on how to make FP+ selections--which I found very helpful!! We are going for 10 days and will try for A&E FP+ for 2 out of 4 of our group for our last day at 60 days out. So, for example, if I want 4 7DMT, 4 BTMRR, 2 A&E and 2 SM for that day, what would be the best way to book those? Is this even possible? I read a lot about splitting your group into smaller groups, but I'm not sure exactly how to do that. Obviously, this is our first experience with FP+ so I just want to make sure I don't make any "operator" errors when I get on in the middle of the night to book! Thanks in advance!

It would be safest to book all 4 for A&E and then go back in and change 2 to SM. You want A&E FPs to be your first choice as it will be relatively easier to obtain the 2 SM FP as a "change from."

I'm sure this has been asked and I overlooked it.
Can you be logged into the same mde account on different devices and make fp+?
Ie can I be on my ipad and my wife on hers, I do one day and she does another at the same time in order to save time
Tia

Edit or even be logged into different accounts that are linked and book at the same time

I wouldn't attempt it, as I don't have confidence the system would do as you hope. I think it's best to just use one login and work backwards from the end of your stay, unless you want multiple A&E reservations it is unlikely saving a few minutes will make much difference in your selections.
