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

[oj01]

I see many recommendations to use the app. What is the preferred app? I have the iphone and ipad, and if needed, can use DH android. The ipad app is so much nicer than the iphone but I haven't tried to make FP yet.

I've not made FP yet either, but I intend to use the website when I do. As a general rule, I find websites to be more reliable than apps. This particularly applies to the MDE app, which sometimes when I log in doesn't even show all of my party correctly.

I always use the website to make my initial FP selections, but find it much easier to make changes on the app.

Sorry if this was ask before. If I book a package with Disney and make my FP at 60 days, then change my mind before the 30 day window. Book a room using DVC and purchase tix separately before the 30 day window, will I lose my FP? I would have the same MDE account.

Up early tomorrow (5am UK time) for the opening of our 60 day window. Hoping all goes to plan, but I know that I'm much better informed thanks to this thread and all its contributors. (Unless tomorrow is a disaster, in which case I blame you all ).

It will be great. Good luck.

If i want to make fp for people in my friends and family list for all of us at the same time do i have to wait until their 60 days to have them show up? Because i can make fp for the two of us ahead on days they will be there but they do not show up as options. They are arriving a few days after us.

Well that could not have been any more straightforward. Very simple to use (having read this thread first). Got all the FP+ times I wanted (fortunately didn't want A+E, which was full).

What do I do for the next 59 days now?

I think the other 59 days Disney figured is enough time for us to forget the stress level we got to.

If they booked a package, you must wait because their "package" is what opens their booking window - their tickets aren't active until they actually check-in to their resort.

I have an upcoming resort stay booked and my AP expires on the day of our check-in. I'm planning to renew my AP when I arrive. I tried to make FP+ selections today, but my window will not extend past my check-in date. I called web support and was told that the window will not change until I renew my AP. Does that sound right? The AP is currently active (today) and I have a resort reservation, shouldn't I be able to make my FP+ selections for my check-in date plus 10 days beyond? My AP doesn't expire for another 2 months, I shouldn't have to renew it now in order to make my FP+ should I?

- FPs are based on having valid tickets for each day's worth of FPs.

You only have one valid ticket entitlement and that's why you are limited to one day.

 

[Sweetpeamd]

Thanks for answering my question. I wish there was a way to make the FPs with a contingency that we will renew our APs upon arrival. I understand why it won't work now, but it doesn't seem fair to me.

If you renew now, you can link the renewal confirmation number and book your FPs.

Disney wants your renewal money sooner...and also lock you in to renewing.

 

[Sweetpeamd]

I appreciate your advice. I'm renewing now!

ok thanks. so when their 60 day window opens i should be able to make fp for them too?

Yes. Make FPs to match yours or attempt to Copy yours to theirs.

 

[Richard M Nixon]

I won't share how I did it, but on my last trip to WDW I found a way to manipulate the system to allow me unlimited FPs without a need to hit up a kiosk, so I was able to jump from one FP+ line to another without ever having to wait, go to a kiosk, or anything. I wasn't able to get in rides with 0 FP availability, but I could get into rides that didn't have immediate availability.

I spoke with WDW management about the issue, but it was a technical exploit and I'm not sure if they really got enough info from me to fix it. I'll try it again when I go back in October and we'll see if they've wised up or not.

For anyone technically inclined, think: unsanitized, unsecured database connection.

You are speaking my language. My husband is in InfoSec, so this might be a fun just keep him distracted while in line for a few minutes to see if he can find the vulnerability (not exploit it though, I would kick his butt for that one).

If we have an onsite stay and get military 4-day can we book 60 days out?
