FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

@EGW113 is reporting that FEA is available to book for a 9:00a FP return window.

That could change up the strategy of FP for FEA, move up and use/tap FP #2, move up and use/tap FP #3. You could potentially book for another FP by 10:00 or so depending on how fast you can use/tap the 2 Tier 2s.

For what date? Or is this for SDFP? I just did a random check of dates in June & July and none are showing anything before 11am.

@EGW113 said for June 21st. I'd only seen the 11:00a time so thought that was confirmed. Possibly not?

Just checked June 21st on both the computer and app and it show no availability at all for FEA.

I'm planning a trip in Aug that will include FEA so definitely interested in opening time and FP availability time.

@marciemi is in Epcot and has confirmed some FP park hopping info that continues as reported previously:

When two or more FPs have been booked for Park #1, as soon as FP #1 has been used, a FP for Park #2 can be booked via the app. All other FPs for Park #1 remain intact and you technically will have FPs for 2 parks at the same time!

The first week only opened with FPs starting at 9. After the 27 they start at 11. At least as of now.

Thanks for clarifying! So the strategy of throwaway Tier 2s before 11:00 is still best.

And to confirm, the throwaways can't just expire in order to book a 2nd tier 1? They need to at least be tapped, correct?

Yes, tapped to "use." I'm updating that other thread so will quote your above post over there.

Thx!!

Have there been anymore reports of FP windows opening before 7am? I've seen people say that they were able to book as early as 4:30amEST. Any info on this? I'm flying at 8am on my FP window day, so I would actually love to be able to book my FP's before 7am. Thanks for any info!

Has someone else tested this or has it changed lately? I know I was able to do this earlier when I tested - I had two Tier 2's at Epcot that expired before I even got to the park and then used the Tier 1. As soon as I used the Tier 1 I could make a FPP for another Tier 1 but it effectively "froze" my other two Tier 2's (if I tried to change them then I just got an error message). So I did just go past the two windows without tapping/using the Tier 2's. I'll test this again the next time I'm at Epcot but not sure when that will be.

It was recently reported in the last week or so. The CM advised to tap to use up the Tier 2.

The DISer used her Tier 2 but others had returned to the room and she couldn't book another Tier 1 for the group because of the expired Tier 2s and she couldn't just Cancel them either.

Ah, may be a new change then. If I get a chance to test this again I will but right now all my FPP's are tied up in Frozen & new Soarin' FPP's for when my kids are home the end of the month. Probably doesn't hurt to plan to do in the meantime!

We had discussed if you needed to test it but because it was reported and with CMs advising "tapping out," didn't want you to waste time on it.

If I make it into a park mid-month, I can test it, or, if someone is going soon maybe they can report back.

When using a Fastpass+ on Mission Space, can you choose Orange/Green when you get there or do you need to decide that when you book the fastpass?

You choose it when you get there.

I am interested in this as well- we are going mid-July and I have an Imagination FP+ that I would love to let expire instead of have to rush to tap on the way to a late breakfast reservation. Hopefully someone will report back before the end of June and I can adjust accordingly.

So excited for the tip about using the first one in a park and then being able to make the park hopping one for the next park immediately after. That is going to be a great help on a few of our days! Thank you both for keeping us all updated on the changes- with all the uncertainty in the park hours, etc. for the summer, it helps to have a few tricks up our sleeves...

I am now super confused, having trawled my way through this thread. I have been to WDW several times, so understand the FP+ system as it was last year.
Lots of suggestions to "tap out" in order to "use' FP+, but does this have to be within the timed slot? We are hoping to do a few park hopping days.

Ok 2 questions:

1. When it comes to "tapping out" a tier 2 FP so that you can then schedule at another park do you have to go through the entire queue to the 2nd tapping point or is it enough to tap at the first one and walk away?

2. Is it still in effect that you have to schedule all 3 original FPs at the same park? I can't do a tier 1 at EPCOT and then my Tier 2 FPs at DHS correct? I know it has always been this way but things are changing so fast!

1. Just the first

2. Yes, original selections must be in the same park. But you can make 1, 2 or 3. The other day I had only Soarin' scheduled in Epcot, and as soon as I passed the first tapstyle, I was able to make 2 FPs for later that day in MK.
