FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

[marciemi]

I've read lots of answers about what the unofficial grace period is if you show up late for your fastpass+ window...but what about if you're a few minutes late for a fastpass+ window for a show? For example, we have fastpass+ for For the First Time in Forever (no judgement, please! I can't do many rides at HS for health reasons, so gotta' make those fast passes count somewhere!) Our window is to return between 10:05-10:20. If we tried to squeeze another attraction in and didn't get there till between 10:20 and 10:30 would we still be let in for a 10:30 show?

I have been refused doing this at Nemo in AK - granted it was Christmas week (we didn't get into the show at all). However, at various shows (BatB, Frozen), I've seen them close the FP entrance immediately at the end of the window so having one wouldn't give you any advantage - they'd just direct you to the regular line. Most times you'd probably get in anyway but it seems pointless to have the FPP then - better to either arrive during the window for an advantage in seating or just use the FPP for something else.

Nope, you got bad information on the phone, which unfortunately, is not a surprise.

Thanks. I figured. Better at midnight anyway vs morning before work trying to rush.

Hi, It will be my first trip and I am struggling with fastpass scheduling options conflicting with dining options I've already made. Can someone please tell me approximately how much time will I be shaving off in the wait lines using fastpass. My problems center around the big rides in MK. thanks for any help.

I know I can only have 7 days of fp+ booked at a time since we are aph. I am working on getting that done for a 9 day trip. Question is...can I go in no arrival day and book at the kiosk without messing up my other 7 days? Will I be able to book at kiosk at all? I don't want to use arrival day as one of my 7 since flights can get delayed, etc. I also don't like going to the park and doing all standby lines. Help please?!?

ok i'm frustrated wit this new layout for booking. took me an hour last night.

is there anyway to check if something is available before cx'ing a fast pass now?

also if you go into modify something how do you back out in the app without loosing the fastpass? i lost 3 this morning.

this new layout sucks.

On the new FFP system can I make 3 selections at first park and then use 2 of them and then cancel my third and then select a new one at a different park if I cancelled my last one and I'm still in original park? thanks!
And of course I want to know if I can still select 4th from my phone.

If you Cancel your 3rd, you have forfeited your allotted FP for that park.

By choosing another park, the FP you book will technically be your 4th of the day because you gave up your 3rd by switching parks.

I have actually found it very easy to work with - the only thing I don't like is having to chose your group instead of it bringing up the people who have tickets linked.

You can go in and modify your FP to look for additional times or attractions without losing what you already have. I have been doing this for KS at AK until they opened up the later hours yesterday. On the website, if you don't like what you see just scroll down and click start over and X out of the next screen. On the app just close the screen down or pull down on the arrow at the top and it will take you back to your FPs without losing anything.

Here is a link the Kenny the Pirate's page on the changes in the FP app.

hiro, thanks for the reply, can a schedule that 4th fast pass plus for AK on my phone while I'm still in MK ?

Yes. All 4th FPs, and beyond, can be scheduled via the app for any of the parks.

So, if I schedule 3 fast passes at Epcot (1 tier 1 and 2 tier 2), and I use them all, I can schedule another tier 1 there, correct?
Another stupid question, if I have the park hopper, I can schedule a fast pass at a second park, or no?
Haven't been to wdw in a while and I'm feeling stupid.
Thanks!

Yes, if a Tier 1 is available.

if I have the park hopper, I can schedule a fast pass at a second park, or no?

Yes. As your 4th FP, you can book it for any park and any Tier if it's a tiered park.

Thank you!

Can you only have 4 fast passes in a day? The 3 you schedule ahead and only 1 once you've used your first 3.. I'm from the DLR side of the world and I'm used to being able to get fast passes through out the day to my hearts content if I work it right.

You can have as many as you want, just one at a time after the first three.

Am I reading the first 10 posts accurately--that FP+ for Anna/Elsa (MK) and Cindy/Rap (MK) are no longer an option post May? Is there a reason for this?
