FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

[Capang]

I really hate that they moved the booking time to 7am. I'm gonna have to schedule a couple hours off of work when my booking day comes to actually do this and get all I want, need.

But just it's clear because I wanna make sure, I'm scheduling the right day to do this, I should be able to schedule all four days of my trip worth of FPs on the same day, right? My window is on Tues Oct 18th.

What?! 7am?! I've been gone a while and thought I'd check in to see what I've missed since our last trip. Oh man I'm going to be late to work the morning I book FP. I'm sure my boss will understand, I did an initial phone interview with him for my current job on our last trip. My classroom is filled with hidden mickeys, my planner is covered in our wdw vacation pics...you get the idea. He will have to deal for an hour or so

I'm planning to go in late on the 25th because I have FP to do for a client, and our own DLR Rssies as well as ADRs for another client. I liked midnight better, too. At least I will get some sleep, maybe.

Perhaps this has been addressed but I did not see it. Because you can only see availability windows that don't conflict with existing FP, is there any way to know if you are missing out on something unavailable if there happens to be availability in slots where you already have bookings for something else?

The only way to know what is available for your preferred time slots is to move booked FPs to time periods that you don't want, or completely cancel them.

quick question! How close together can you book FP+s???

The system will not let you book closer than 1 hour between your rides e.g. 3 FP's 9:00am 10:00am, 11:00am

Thank you! I'm a first timer and had been using touring plans and they let you book them as close as 15 minutes apart...had my expectations way off!

Lol, I think it would be very difficult to manage your rides with only 15 minutes between them.

Just remember too that the FP+ is good for an hour (plus a bit of grace time). So if you have a 9:00, 10:00 and 11:00, you could do the 9:00 closer to the 10:00, then do the 10:00. But still have to wait for the 11:00 one. This gives you time to allow for a longer than normal queue line, and also walking to the next one.

Well, I understood the window of 1 hour and they wouldn't have to be done within 15 min of each other, and also I was thinking about this for rides right next to each other. But yeah, this makes way more sense now Total rookie mistake!

Is the Frozen sing-a-long a higher priority FP than Star Tours? Or does it not really matter either way?

I have not been to the park in 6 years and didn't have to do this before. I am sure the answer to this is in here somewhere but didn't want to dig. If buy our ticket vouchers off Disney.com will I get the numbers I need right then to add to My Disney experience? And I am assuming once I have the vouchers and link the tickets to the magic bands we are good to go when we get there?

I am planning on buying the tickets online on Nov 1st. Our booking window opens Nov 24th and we are going Dec 24th.

Thanks for any help as I don't want to screw up since we are going at such a busy time and we are staying offsite so I need to do it right.

Thanks!

You have the option to purchase tickets from your MDE account and the tickets automatically link up to the specific people you choose.

Many people purchase tickets separately through third-party authorized ticket sellers: Undercover Tourist, Park Savers, etc. and those can be linked up by you to your MDE account.

Every ticket is just digital info that you assign and reassign up until the ticket's first use.

I'd FP Star Tours over the singalong. The FSAL FP does not give you preferred seating, so not terribly valuable, IMO

Hi guys.
Just a little confused at the moment.
60 day window just opened.
Our trip dates are 18th of december to 26th of January staying onsite at pop century.

Had no problems booking up to the 1st of January but from the 2nd onwards all the dates are not selectable.
Do i have to wait for these days to open? I thought i was able to book fastpasses for length of stay.

Cheers
Adam

Another DISer shared that the system allows pre-booking for a total of 14 days. Then, your booking window expands - rolling forward. The DISer booked the 14-day total and then was able to book another day when she went on the following morning. The DISer booked each day until ticket entitlements/FPs were maxed out.

It's very strange why it's set up like this. Do you have the 21-day UK ticket?

Are you onsite for your complete stay?

Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes onsite for whole stay. We are from Australia and opted for platinum annual passes as it was a cheaper option for the 30+ days.

Will check again tomorrow night our time to see if it rolls over.
Thanks for the info appreciate it.
