Now that we no longer have to book 3 fps for the day, how hard is it to book 1 fp for a particular day, then come back to it later? I have a couple of must do fps I want to get, but the others for that park aren't in high demand. Can I book 1 for Sunday, then move on to Monday, then come back and fill in the 2 I didn't book for Sunday (with ease)? I read Kenny's tutorial, but he said you don't have to book all 3 but it's wise to do so. Thanks!

Yes, you can skip around to search for hard to get FPs and then return to complete your total of 3.

Did you try booking him as a single? I had this same issue for one ride so I booked the person as a single with a time that barely overlapped our scheduled time. I continued to check every day and moved his time up whenever a better time opened. By the time we hit the park I had him on the same time as our FP.

It's for a parade. I've tried booking it as one but it's not available. Bums me out.

Okay, well that makes a difference. Just keep trying and hopefully something will open up.

Tomorrow my booking window will open up and I have 4 day passes, part of a package, though I'm only staying onsite 1 day . If I read it correctly, tomorrow I will be able to book the first 2 days, then the 2 subsequent days at their 60 day mark. Is that correct?

Is your night onsight at the beginning or end of your trip? You will be limited to a 30 day window for anything before your stay starts.

 

[Mambo Junkie]

sorry. It's at the beginning. I chose the Yacht Club for the proximity to Epcot (especially) and HS

You'll benefit from the rolling 60-day window for your last two park days' FPs.

I'm thinking of switching my AK and MK days, but I already have my max FP booked. I want to see if I can get an evening safari FP for 4 people on 9/1 700-900pm. Is there anyway I can check that without canceling what I currently have? If I call, can they check for me?

You can check by doing the following on the app:
Go to the FP area and tap "+"
Select party, day, and park (AK)
A Warning will pop up but continue on; nothing will be changed FP-wise
Check to see what is available. If you don't want to switch to AK, back out of the window and your MK FPs remain intact.
If you do want to select for AK, make your selection and Confirm - that's when your original FPs get switched out.

Thanks!

That's a great tip! I tried it today and it worked. Thank you all so much for sharing your Knowledge with us; this is a wonderful thread, full of such good information!

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (Magic Kingdom). Often gone more than 30 days in advance. Booking at 12:00a ET

This needs to be corrected to 7:00am. (Sorry, it's the software quality engineer in me.)

And Frozen Ever After should be added to that post.

Hi everyone,

I was surprised I was able to pick a half-hour window for my Tower of terror fastpass this august. The park closes at 9:30 this day, and MDE says I need to arrive at the attraction between 9:00 and 9:30. Is this a bug, or maybe they already plan to extend park hours ?

That sounds like a feature. They'll automatically shrink the window if the park is scheduled to close less than an hour before the start of your arrival time.

Is it true Living with the Land and the Great Movie Ride are now Tier 2 again?

 

[Floridaglen]

I heard that Living with the Land is now Tier 2 from Kenny the Pirate, didn't know about Great Movie Ride though

 

[Floridaglen]

Just tried to book Fastpasses for both rides, Living with the Land definitely now Tier 2 but Great Movie Ride still showing as Tier 1 at 30 days out

 

[GaryDis]

They need to have at least one Tier 1 ride with no restriction, otherwise people with small kids wouldn't be able to get any Tier 1 FPs for them. With the opening of FEA, it makes sense to move LWtL to Tier 2. But I can't think of any reason for changing TGMR now.

 

[familyman123]

Yes, you can do that. I did it the other way around - had SE (Tier 2) and Soarin' (Tier 1) booked, used SE and then booked Fantasmic (Tier 1) for HS right away. No guarantee for Epcot though that any "good" Tier 1's will be availabile (as opposed to LWTL), but worth trying!

So as I understand the current fastpass situation - if I have a Tier 1 at HS early (say Toy Story Mania) in the morning and a Tier 2 later in the day (say Tower of Terror), as soon as I scan Tier 1 fastpass I can select a Tier 1 at Epcot with whatever is available at that time.

But if I schedule 3 fastpasses for HS before I arrive (say Toy Story, ToT, and Star Tours), can I cancel one of the the Tier 2 fastpasses that day and pick up Tier 1 in Epcot? In other words, does it matter if I cancel one of my fastpasses to pick up the Tier 1 for Epcot to get down to two original fastpasses, or do I need to not schedule them in the first place? This way, if none of the available Epcot Tier 1 fastpasses are to my liking I can just keep the third one at HS.
