FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

"2. HOWEVER - I did find out today that as long as you're past the window for your Tier 2's, and use your Tier 1, you can then book another Tier 1 in the same park. But...once you do that, you lose the Tier 2's. They still show but every time I tried to see if I could change them to a later time then I got an error message. So I booked Turtle Talk for 9:30, Pixar for 10:30 and Land for 2. Once I used Land (I didn't get to Epcot until almost 2) I could immediately book Illuminations or Mission Space (or other Tier 1's). But although my 9:30 Turtle Talk still showed, it wouldn't let me change it. So if you can arrange your schedule to get past the time windows, you could effectively only ride one Tier 1 and then get another one. But then you'd be stuck in the "one at a time" thing for the rest of the day.

So you don't actually have to USE all 3 but have to be past the window of all 3 or used them all."

Need to make sure I understand, with all the changes that have been made since booking the 4th in the app was rolled out, as I think this post may be old and I could only find it quoted, not the OP.....

Say I book 3 FPs in Epcot (1 tier 1, 2 tier 2). We arrive at the park after our tier 2s have expired, but we ride our tier 1. We would then have the ability to book another tier 1 in Epcot, correct? What about booking in another park? Any park, any tier? TIA!!

I'm the OP on that. My experience has after using one Tier 1 (whether it's all you had booked or if you're past the windows or if you cancelled the other 2), that you can always book another Tier 1 in the other Tiered park without an issue as soon as you scan. I tested this many times. I only tested the above once and did exactly what you said - let the 2 Tier 2's expire and then used the Tier 1 and it then let me use the + button (as opposed to modify) to book another Tier 1 immediately. But as soon as I did that my Tier 2's locked up (so I couldn't change the times on them or modify them - I just got an error message if I went in them). So effectively the Tier 1 replaced them and all future FPP's were one at a time.

Sounds about right to me to both questions .

Thank you both!!

Is there a way I can view fast passes in a different park when I already booked my three in another park, without deleting the current ones?

Go through the process of booking a new FP. Ignore the prompts that you will be replacing FP in another park. You won't lose your existing FP selections until you finalize one in the new park.

We are a party of 6, with three adults, an eight year old, a four year old' and two month old. We are going to split HS (morning) and Epcot (afternoon/evening) and probably back to HS for the Star Wars fireworks. Our tip is June 18-26, and with all the new attractions I am expecting bigger crowds than we originally anticipated.

Right now I have fast passes for all of us at TSM at 9-10. We want to do Jedi training first and then ride TSM, hopefully twice if we are able to sign up for Jedi academy fast enough. I have ended up canceling my tier two FP for HS thinking that I would get to make FP selections for Epcot for that afternoon if possible as soon as we use our TSM fast pass. Is that a smart move or should I just try to rope drop TSM and make my fast passes for Epcot? We are spending Sunday morning at Epcot (no fast passes). I was hoping to utilize the rider switch as much as possible by booking two people at soarin and getting rider switch passes for the rest of us and doing the same at test track. However, we will defiantly want the new Frozen ride too. What do you all suggest??? Should I cancel TSM in order to book Epcot fast passes?

I logged in right at 7 am (4 am her on the west coast!!!) to get a FEA fastpass and the message keeps saying they are all out...That's a fluke, a glitch in the system.....Right????

Correct. They aren't available to book yet, just loaded.

On hold right now with Disney as at 60 day and my days did not roll over--only 30 days showing still. Yes we are staying onsite. Hold time is 167 minutes

 

[BeccaG]

Correct. They aren't available to book yet, just loaded.

Oh, I thought since the booking window opened today, they would be ready to book at 7am since that is the new booking time..... when do you think they will be ready to book?

You aren't familiar with Disney IT I take it. It's not at all surprising they didn't get it up correctly on time. I'd have been shocked if they did

PSA: The old Soarin' (through 6/16), Jungle Book show and Frozen Ever After FPs are all live now.

Well I was hoping!

Fast pass rule? You may only hold 7 days of FP's???? We are staying on-site for 16 days and hold AP's.

Annual Passholders can plan 7 days of FastPass+ selections within any 30-day period for one park per day. Secure up to 3 experiences per day up to 30 days in advance. And if plans change, it’s easy to update or cancel your selections, subject to availability.

Passholders with reservations at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel can start making FastPass+ selections as early as 60 days―plus the number of days of the stay―prior to the check-in date.

Also found this on Themouseforless website:

"For a Passholder staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, the window to make reservations will be 60 days in advance of check-in, and Disney’s FastPass+ reservations can be held for 7 days or the length of the hotel stay, which, whichever is greater."

So it looks as though you can make Fastpasses for the length of your stay. Hope this helps.

This is the information that I have been following for our past vacations and would apply, if allowed to do so. We politely state our reservations at BW, AKL, Poly and BLT and our AP's, we asked if all are linked, we check and all are linked, we continue to be repeatedly told only 7 days, and reference is made to the rule. I kindly state that I have read posts, blogs and inquired on our passes, again informed of the rule.

I'm fairly sure you are bring told incorrect information by the cast members. Hopefully someone on the forums, who has been in your situation, will be able to advise you shortly. Otherwise I would wait and see what happens when your 60 day window opens up.

Thanks! I believe that you are correct, it does not make any sense that Disney would not permit one to make FP's for length of stay, and all the sources (DVC, Annual Passholders etc.) I have contacted have not heard of this rule, and have stated the information that you posted. We are well within our 60 days, I have been stressed over them not allowing our daughter FP's and closing in on 30 day window.
