FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

[hiroMYhero]

Can anybody make a video or display some pics that show us step by step how to make a FP with the updated system? Disney REALLY needs to put in tutorials for situations like this. smh. LOL.

The only step that is missing from Kenny's photos is the drop down to actually choose a specific ride time:

How does the new system work with the tiered parks? If you select just one fast pass in the first trier and then use it, can you use your next one in the same first tier? Or are you still only allowed one fast pass in the first tier until you use your initial 3? Like if I pick Rock n Roller Coaster as my first and only fast pass and then use it, can I then select Toy Story Midway Mania as my next one? Or will I have to pick my next ones in the second tier until I've used my first 3, then I can pick Toy Story Midway Mania?

First posts updated to reflect most changes. Am still looking for any info on in-park kiosk operational changes, but any suggestions for improvement welcome. I expect the Strategies post to evolve as more details become clear.

I'm at Epcot today and was able to use my (premade) kids' AP's for FPP even though they're not in the park. I was also able to do SDFP using old cards for people linked to my MDE, even though they have no ticket entitlementsremaining, AND make changes to them on the app (vs browser). Doesn't appear they've closed that loophole! I'll keep updating as I try more!

When you book your original 3 FP+, can you choose one attraction more than once? For example, Expedition Everest, KS, Expedition Everest?

No, sorry. Covered in looong Post 2.

Thank you Mesaboy. How do I navigate to Post 2? Sorry

No worries--the links in my signature take you to the first posts, in order. In this case, you want Requirements and Basics.

I booked a package and will receive new MagicBands. If I have MagicBands from an earlier trip, can I use these for FP as well? I seem to remember reading about a loophole that would allow this? Thank you

This was answered above, but I wanted to say using previous Magic Bands is not a loophole. Any active assigned Magic Band can be used with your tickets, FastPasses, etc. This is why there is a new option to decline a Magic Band order if you don't want any more.

I've looked through the first posts and still can't find the answer I'm looking for. Could you point me to where it is?

The new system is literally hours old, some things cannot be determined yet at this time. When I have info I have enough confidence in, I will make further changes. Information thus far suggests you can do what you asked, but I'm not willing to post it as solid yet.

 

[CGriz]

Sounds good. Appreciate the help!

You're welcome!

If you are using the app, select a specific attraction and choose Modify. That will allow you to view what is available. That area of the app is down right now. The website is extremely slow now. Everyone must be playing to see how it works.

Anyway, choose the FP you want to switch and use Modify. You won't lose your original FP until you confirm your new choice.

Ok so tried to change our plans tonight... wanted to completely switch parks from HS to Epcot but when I select modify it only gives me HS attractions. Would I need to cancel my HS plans before I book a different park? I don't want to lose our current scenario without looking at the alternate options

Okay, that Modification was taken off the app. ETA: it's now done through Adding FP

This is on the website:
- Go to FastPass selections
- Choose Add FastPass (up in the right hand corner)
- Continue with Date and Park prompts
- the website gives you info that you won't lose your originals
- I went as far as the new park to see availability and didn't lose my originals

You can Modify on the App to look at availability in another park:
- from the FP area tap the "+"
- Select Guests
- Select Date and Park
- app Warns you that you won't lose anything until you Confirm; continue
- check availability. Back out if you don't like anything and you retain your originals.

I haven't been able to find an answer to this on any of the threads, but maybe I missed it. If you pre-booked 3FP+ for let's say TT and two other attractions at Epcot, then on the day of after riding TT, can you go online and modify one or both of the other two FPs that were prebooked at Epcot for two other FPs at other parks, or would you have to cancel those two first? I'm wondering if you have to take a chance and forfeit the two at the initial park before the new fast passes are confirmed, or if it can be done as a modification where they're held until the new ones are reserved

I believe @marciemi tested this yesterday. It's in one of her posts from yesterday.

From what I saw yesterday, you couldn't do this for other parks without cancelling. After I used my Tier 1 at Epcot, looking on the app or the kiosk the only options were Tier 2's at Epcot. Once I cancelled the two remaining Tier 2's, then I could book at another park. I don't know if there's a way to try to cancel the whole day like there used to be and then select another park but I would think (just like before) you couldn't replace all FPP's for the day once you'd used one. I can try to play with this the next time I'm at a park (make 3, use 1, then see if there's any way to cancel for another park) but I think you'd need to cancel any remaining before you could see availability in another park unless you physically went to a kiosk in the new park - I have done that in the past. Had one remaining at MK (BTMR) but weather was bad so we headed to Epcot. I was then able to go to a kiosk and replace BTMR with an Epcot ride, even back before yesterday and it did tell me at the kiosk that I was replacing one from a different park.

Ok, thanks for the info! Extremely helpful!!!
