FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

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.

Thanks, Marcie!! It sounds as if Cancel wasn't being used and only the "+" aspect.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

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)

Yes. And see Marcie's post above ^. She doesn't have to use all three before booking for the 2nd park.

I just tried it again with a different member of our party who has ridden HM and IASW and only had those 2 booked. I was able to book Land at Epcot from here in MK.

Thanks again! I'll add on this info to the other thread.

so just so i have this straight in my head could you let me know if my scenario will work?

i'll be park hopping from HS to epcot.
can i... prebook TSMM and TOT at HS and then after i've used them go onto the app and book a tier 2 for epcot?
or would it be better to prebook TSMM, TOT, and a "throw away" and then cancel the throw away and book one at epcot?

From my experience you could do either. You could also book (if available) a Tier 1 at Epcot at that point. There really aren't many Tier 2's worth booking at Epcot, especially if you're arriving late in the day when lines are mostly short for those anyway.

 

[TJA]

Thank you for keeping all the info current! Just to be sure I know what I'm doing....

How do I only go on Tier 1's at Epcot? Let's use Soarin' and TT as examples, and probably Frozen if that opens by June/July. Do I book Soarin' only, hit my wristband at the ride, then go in the app and choose TT? Or do I need to do the Tier 2's first....

 

[hiroMYhero]

Or do I need to do the Tier 2's first....

Yes, because it's your only park of the day, you'll have to allow the Tier 2s to expire or ride them before you attempt to book a 2nd Tier 1.

OK, so this is probably answered in this thread SOMEWHERE but it's too long to read every post. WHAT IF I have morning FP's at MK and I want to possibly switch to PM at EP? How can I even SEE WHAT'S AVAILABLE - IF ANYTHING at EP? Is there a way to see what there may be open without canceling what I already have at MK? I don't want to cancel my MK FP's just to "SEE" what if anything may be left at EP. What am I missing?! Is this really how the system is designed?! They don't make it easy to change your mind?! TIA.

Here it is for the app:

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.

Here it is for the app:

Thank you. But so I have been trying to do this on my computer. Am I to understand that using the mobile app is the only way to do this?! How silly if so....

You can do it on the website. I just wasn't in the mood to keep quoting myself.

Just go to wherever it is on the page to Add a FP and follow the same steps.

OY! This warning is scary! I'm afraid to continue.

I get that - thanks. I would have never thought to try "add a FP". I just wanted to LOOK AT AVAILABILITY. Why can't they offer a "check" feature?

LOL now I get a "Whoops" error on the computer.

Yes, because it's your only park of the day, you'll have to allow the Tier 2s to expire or ride them before you attempt to book a 2nd Tier 1.

Many thanks! I will book 2 throw-away Tier 2's before Soarin'. They will expire, we will hit our MB's on Soarin', and I will go into app and try to book 4th FP of TT. Sound right?

As background, we arrive at WDW around dinner time and are staying at BWI. Hope to walk into Epcot and go on 2 Tier 1's, or 3 if we get lucky...

Here is marciemi's post:

2. HOWEVER - I did find out today that as long as you're past the window for your Tier 2's, and use your Tier 1, you can then book another Tier 1 in the same park. But...once you do that, you lose the Tier 2's. They still show but every time I tried to see if I could change them to a later time then I got an error message. So I booked Turtle Talk for 9:30, Pixar for 10:30 and Land for 2. Once I used Land (I didn't get to Epcot until almost 2) I could immediately book Illuminations or Mission Space (or other Tier 1's). But although my 9:30 Turtle Talk still showed, it wouldn't let me change it. So if you can arrange your schedule to get past the time windows, you could effectively only ride one Tier 1 and then get another one. But then you'd be stuck in the "one at a time" thing for the rest of the day.

So you don't actually have to USE all 3 but have to be past the window of all 3 or used them all.

I apologize of this has been asked- but is there a fast pass for the new Star Wars characters? I didn't see it listed on the 1st page.

No. I update the first 10 posts regularly to reflect any changes.

No fast passes, but there is a separate line for Disney Chase VISA card holders to meet Kylo Ren. Nothing for Chewie though.

We'll be there at RD anyway to sign up for Jedi training. So I'll plan on Launch Bay as our first stop!
