[momtosam]

Orlando Attractions reported that the get another FP after using your first three will begin Monday. Now I went into my MDE to move up all my FP times in hopes of getting more. I don't know if its the right strategy or not. Why must my vacation be so complicated??

The "4th FP+" might very well begin on Monday.

But, why would Orlando Attractions be the only source?

A DISer is also posting info gleaned from an internal Disney memo.

A blog post by Tom Staggs is pretty official.

Was it mentioned as to whether the 4th FP could be a repeat?

Yes it can

I have not seen this addressed yet, my updates reflect that question. I am also curious about how tiering will work, but in that case my gut instinct is that tiers will NOT prevent a second Group 1 attraction from being chosen.

This is such AWESOME news!!!!!!!!! I dig how Tom Staggs make it a point to say "As we’ve said from the beginning, MyMagic+ will continue to evolve over time with the aim of continuing to improve our guests’ experience with us and in response to feedback from our guests. Today’s news is another chapter of that story and we look forward to sharing more with you as we continue to roll out and refine MyMagic+. Continue checking the Disney Parks Blog for more details."

Love it!!!!! Looking forward to more developments!

Just read an article in the orlando sentinel posted online. Copied it below.



Disney World theme-park guests will be able to use FastPass+ an unlimited number of times as of Monday. Tom Staggs, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, confirmed the change Thursday.

Since testing began, users have been limited to three per day, all within the same park. FastPass+ enables people to make advance reservations for select rides, shows and parades. The service, free of charge, is part of a Disney's billion-dollar project to assist vacation planning.

Here's how it will work: After using three passes, guests will select another one at any FastPass+ kiosk in the parks. After using the fourth FastPass+, the process can be repeated for a fifth pass, and so on.

The My Disney Experience app tied to the FastPass+ program will not be used initially to get additional passes.

"We are working on ways to make this available on the app," a Disney World spokeswoman said Thursday.

Visitors also will be able to move from park to park and get an additional FastPass+ when the changes kick in next week, Staggs said.

This is what they said about repeat:
"Guests will be able to make their additional selection(s) for an experience at which they already redeemed a FastPass+ selection earlier that day"

Thanks.

I'm curious to see what the availability looks like. If it's good then this is a fabulous development.
