FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

[hiroMYhero]

Thank you! At this time we are only hopping one day but we do have the flexibility to do it more if we want! On our MK days, we obviously have lots of choices. I can even find a good use on our AK day with the new nighttime stuff, and on our full DHS day. It's the Epcot days that we don't really need them, as it looks like we will miss FEA and Soarin'. But again, very thankful for them regardless!

You can always send your father back to DHS with the MBs and he can ride Star Tours multiple times ~ there's a variety of scenes that make each showing a little different.

I did a search but could not find the answer.

If individuals in my party wanted to remain at the resort could their magic bans & fast passes be use by another individual or does the band have to be scanned into the park by the owner?

This is from mesaboy's Superthread:
- While technically nontransferable, in practice MagicBands (or tickets) can be swapped with others in your party to use their FPs. Castmembers (CMs) do not care if 37yo Johnny enters a FP queue with 8yo Sue's MagicBand.

Th MB does not have to be scanned to enter the park. You only need to scan it at the FP line.

Funny thing...with the extra FP (I received them today, so after I asked about 3 tier 2's) I can keep my mom's TSMM FP (maybe one if us will re-ride) and my dad can use his extra FP for Star Tours....

So, my 60 day FP+ window opens tonight at midnight. I know I can't book until then, but at the moment I see that it says valid tickets are required to book FP+. I have a package with tickets already booked and 90% paid for. I read the thread and saw that things can be wonky prior to the midnight opening, but I've never noticed this before. I still owe a few hundred dollars on my package, but have time to pay it off... should I be concerned?

 

[hiroMYhero]

I have a package

That's why you aren't seeing all your info. People with packages magically see everything at the moment their 60-day window opens... no need to be concerned and hope you get all your FPs!

Tonight Magic Kingdom is opened until 1AM... Do not worry if your window do not open at midnight... Prepare to be patiently refreshing your screen until it works which can be as late as 1:30AM EST

12:00 ET is now the standard for FP booking window opening.

It hasn't been dependent upon park closure for about a year now. mesaboy2 addresses this in his OP.

I also don't think it ever was dependent upon a 1am EMH since FPP isn't used during EMH. Only if the actual park was open that late (but agree with Hiro that changed quite awhile ago).

Thank you so much, Hiro!

I seem to be running into a problem tonight, I have 8 days of hopper tickets linked to a 1 night RO reservation, tonight was my last night that I should have been able to book fast passes, for the 5th of July & it is giving me an error telling me:

FastPass+ Limit Reached
These Guests have reached their maximum FastPass+ allotment. To continue, remove them from your party. Their existing plans won't change. Or, go back and select a date for which you already made FastPass+ selections.

I have had no problem booking the previous 7 days worth of fast passes. Is there a limit on how many days you can book fast passes, I thought it was tied to the amount of tickets you had linked in MDX?

 

[Floridaglen]

I would try again in case there was a glitch in the system. I tried to book a Disney resort last night and it kept saying there was an error so I waited until this morning and it has now gone through.
Please come back and tell us how you got on, I am sure lots of forum members would be interested in case Disney have changed their rules about one night reservations and booking Fastpasses.

I was hoping it was just a glitch, as I saw people were running into issues with the site again but I tried multiple times throughout the night on the app (insomnia was reading its' ugly head) & again this morning in my computer & through the app & I'm still getting the same error message. Ruh-roh!

Help! I am staying with my wife for a long trip in June. We are annual passholders. As a test, I tried to make her a FP for tomorrow (about 45 days from the start of our long trip) and it is saying that she has reached her allotment and that she cannot book FP for tomorrow. However, for me it does not say that and allows me to book FP+ for tomorrow. What gives? Thanks!!

 

[JulieNMM]

I read the part about how you do not need a Magic Band to use the FP system. However, if you don't have a Magic Band, how does it work? Do they still use the paper ones like how they do at Disneyland? You have to put your physical ticket in the kiosk and it spits out a paper FP? Is that right?

Thanks!!!!

Not right. All WDW FastPasses are virtual now. If you don't have or use a Magic Band, your park ticket has the same technology embedded and is used with the FastPass readers.

I don't have a magic band but I do have two park tickets that have expired attached to MDE account. It says that both of my tickets are active. When I next buy park tickets online and then add them to MDE will I be able to use the old cards when I enter the parks and also for FP's (I'm not referring to SDFP's, I've only got one MDE account). Usually I have to go to the will call window before entering the parks and they exchange my voucher for a park ticket. Does anyone think I can bypass the will call window and enter the park straight away with one of my old cards? Thanks for any info.

Is this the place to ask about the mechanics of selecting FP? Please re-direct if I am asking in the wrong place.

Last year, when I booked FP for Anna & Elsa for just some of my party, the common opinion was book for the whole party and then when you are finished booking all of the FP for that day, go back and modify it.

So I have 4 people in my party. I want to book 3 of them at space mountain, and 1 of them at the Fairytale Princess Hall (whatever is open there in September). Is this still the best way to go about that? Book all 4 at one attraction, the harder one to get, and then go back and change it?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.

The new system allows you to select specific members of your party and the specific attraction they need.

Book 3 for Space and Confirm. Book 1 for FPH and Confirm.
