FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

[hiroMYhero]

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.

You can Cancel a Tier 2 in DHS to try for a Tier 1 in Epcot. You must have less than your alotted total of 3 for this scenario to work.

If you keep 3 total for DHS, then you can't book for Epcot until you use or allow all 3 to expire.

FYI - Living with the Land has been moved back to Tier 2 in Epcot.

Great. That works for me.

Can I check to see what is available for Tier 1 in Epcot without cancelling the Tier 2 in HS?

Yes. I posted the steps somewhere on the last page or so. Will link it after I find it.

Thanks HiromyHero (love that movie!)

One last question on rider swap. I know people can use rider swap and split fast passes for height restricted rides - so 1 parent has a fastpass for Splash Mountain and the other parent has a fastpass for Space Mountain. And that can allow for an older child to ride both rides.

But do they object to rider swap for doing the same ride twice. For instance, say a family with 2 parents, 1 tall child, and a baby go to MK. They get the three fastpasses for Splash Mountain and three fastpasses for Space Mountain. They all show up to Splash Mountain and Parent 1 and tall child ride and get the rider swap pass. Then once the rider is over, they all show up again and Parent 2 rides with their fastpass while they get another rider swap pass for the same baby. The result is that they all rode once, but they have two rider swap passes for the rest of the week. They then repeat this for Space Mountain.

Does that work? Do the cast members object if they recognize you?

When ir comes to booking fast passes, does having MNSSHP tickets count? Or do you have to have an actual park ticket?

A Party Ticket does count. If it is the only ticket you will use that day, book 3 FPs with it.

If you are using one of your regular tickets and then going to a Party, link your Party Ticket to You#2 and you can book 3 FPs with it - must use the Plastic Ticket at the FP entrance.

How do I do this and what is #2?

Also, when I booked my passes this morning for a Sunday party night, all of my passes fall within the 4 - PM time frame. It will not let me book past 7 PM, though one of my fps is for 3:20 - 4:20. Must they all be within the party hours?
Plus, if I book the party tonight, do I need the hard ticket to get the # to link it with, or will I receive an email?

There are no FPs on party nights during the party. Last year the FPs only went until 6:30pm.

If you've already linked your Party ticket and booked FPs, you don't have to add on family #2 to your MDE list. Having a 2nd group in your MDE is the only way to use a regular ticket and a Party ticket for FPs on the same day.

The ticket will link directly to your MB if you are logged in when you purchase the tickets. Though I always have a hard ticket mailed and take it with me just in case.

If I booked fast passes today, can I add a ticket for that particular day now, and it work as another day, or do I have to have the ticket purchased before I make fast pass selections?

Your FPs are booked based on the number of ticket entitlements you have. For each ticket linked to you, you can book 3 FPs for that ticketed park day.

I'm not sure what you mean by "it work as another day."

I booked fps for Sunday this morning. I finally made up my mind that I would rather go to the party on that Sunday. (instead of Tuesday). With 4 day passes, if I added a party ticket, it would work as a 5th ticket. Having chosen the fps this morning, it would work to just attend the party and not have to use a park ticket also. Is this correct? Since I booked the passes before I bought the party ticket, it would still count as a 5th day? What about the 3:20 - 4:20 fp? I'm thinking I will just do the party for MK and use my 4th park ticket as a flex to either go to Epcot another day, or maybe MK.
What I'm asking is that I've already booked fps for 2 of my 4 park tickets, I booked a 3rd park (fp) today, trying to keep them all between 4 and 7, then I would still have 2 more park tickets to use if I add the party ticket (retro) for the passes I chose today? Or should I just buy the ticket for Tuesday and make my fp selections for Tuesday the day after tomorrow?

Correct, and on the Party day, you can use the FPs between 4:00p and 6:30p that you've booked.

The Party Ticket allows for your 5th day - this "day" begins at 4:00p.

What if one of my fps is 3:20 - 4:20? I might be able to rearrange it. I had a hard time getting 7DMT as there were very few times left this morning.

You're fine. Your first FP window extends beyond 4:00 so you are good to head to the ride as soon as you enter the party.

Thank you so much, and for your patience! Thanks to everyone for their help!
