FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

[subtchr]

Question from another site, that I think I know the answer to, but would love confirmation.

If a person is doing a room-only reservation for one night, followed by a package reservation for 9 nights (doing it that way to get free dining on the package), and plan to tie a 10-day ticket to the package. They will activate it a day early when they arrive for the 1-day room only stay.

So they will not be able to book FP for the first day, when the 60-day window opens for the package stay, right? Will they be able to book FP for that first day within the 30-day window?

How early are kiosks available to use?

We have CP breakfast, then queue for Merida. Then I'd like to try for SDFP+. Would Philharmagic be open then?

You can always try City Hall on your way to CP. If not, Philharmagic will be open by that time.

The FP booking window will open 60-days before their room-only stay (a number of DISers have reported this), but, they will only be able to book FPs for their package stay park days.

They cannot book for the room-only park day until they activate their tickets at the resort. The 30-day window doesn't apply because their tickets are not active until check-in day.

Thanks for confirming what I thought -- now to convince someone who disagrees!

ADR vs. FP+ Do they interfere with each other when booking either?

You can overlap the ADR and the fastpass. There will be a warning that there is a time overlap, but they don't stop you from doing it. We will often the ADR with the fastpass on purpose to shorten the gap between fastpasses.

I must be thick...

Why would they remove FP at MK just due to Epcot adding. are we thinking the M&G will be exclusive to Epcot? No more MK M&G?

Correct.

Hi! First time poster here Apologies for the question with the probably obvious answer. We won't be able to get to Epcot until our 1:25 FP for Soarin'. However, we're going to MK later that evening and were hoping to use our 4th FP there. I scheduled a 9:05 AM SE and 10:20 AM Nemo. Keeping that in mind, can we allow those two to expire, use the Soarin' FP, and then schedule the 4th at MK? Thanks for any help in advance!

From what I've played with lately, you'd be better off just booking the Soarin' then once you've used it (as soon as you tap the first Mickey head), you could actually book 2 more FPP's for MK later that day. The only time you need to either use (or let expire) the two Tier 2's is if you're trying to book another Tier 1 for the same park. Otherwise, it will let you book the other 2 for another park (or even 2 other different parks!) once you've used the first. (Alternative would be to keep what you have and as soon as you use Soarin', cancel the first two and then book 2 more for MK).

This is really good to know. We only ever need one fastpass for DHS, Epcot and even AK, so being able to book two fp's at MK would be perfect. Can you book them from the app as soon as you use the one fp?

Yes, even after you've passed the first checkpoint and are waiting in line for the ride (even if they are using the second checkpoint). Soarin' frequently has wifi/cell coverage issues though as you get further back in the queue.

This is great to know! I thought you were still limited to booking one at a time even if you only scheduled one originally. Thanks for the update!

Hi Marcie,
@tatersalad had a different experience this week regarding hopping and wasn't sure if the system was experiencing a glitch or if it were being tweaked:

Perhaps it was just a glitch?

Wow, I had no idea it was possible to schedule two more! That is super helpful. I really appreciate the response!

 

[tink20]

So, you don't have to be in the 2nd park to book FPs? So if we are in Epcot, after we use all FPs, I can make FPs for AK while I am still in Epcot? (from my phone)

It's worked every time for me so I'm thinking a glitch or they did something wrong. I've done it at Epcot for HS and MK next and at HS for Epcot for 2 more. I'm at MK right now. I booked HM and IASW in advance. I used HM and just cancelled IASW and it let me book SE at Epcot (heading there next) AND Nemo at Epcot. I was able to cancel Nemo and change it to Beauty and the Beast at HS. I'm using the Cancel button and then booking for a new park like I'm starting for a new day, not trying to modify one I have.
