FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

[marciemi]

I don't think so, I have a Gold AP and DD were going for her birthday in March. It would only let me make FPs up to the 17th - the days were not available.

Have you called to see if you can upgrade before hand?

I agree with both of these. We're local and have the Platinum passes but have friends with the FL Resident Weekday passes. If I try to book with them, all Saturday and Sunday dates are greyed out so I'm sure you'd have the same with blackout dates. I'd also recommend calling and upgrading before you go if booking FPP's in advance is important to you.

I'm sad, I called and I can't upgrade the AP over the phone. This trip I won't be able to book any FP at the 60 day mark.

If we are staying onsite but we have three family members staying offsite with ticket media attached to their MDX profiles how do I link them to our account so that they can make FP+ reservations with us at 60 days out?

I'm assuming that all FP+ reservations will be made the same and then I'll have to modify them for ride preferences based on the guest.

 

[beesly]

No, your 60 day window opens and you'll book for check-in through checkout day. Then, the 60-day window begins rolling and you'll book the rest of your park days 60 days in advance of each park day.

See mesaboy2's Split Stay section of the original post.

Is this possibly different for APs than for regular tickets? I have an AP and have a split stay coming up - on site @ ASMu 7/21-7/22, off-site for a conference 7/22-7/27, and back on site @ Caribbean Beach 7/27-7/28. My 60-day window opened two days ago for 7/21-7/22. Yesterday morning at 7am ET I signed on thinking I'd be able to book for 7/23 - nothing. All dates after 7/22 are grayed out. I tried again later in the day thinking there might be some lingering IT issues with the recent FP time change, but I still couldn't book. It seems like instead of giving me a rolling 60-day window, MDE reverted to my 30-day AP window for days without an on-site resort reservation, and I'll have to wait until the 60-day window for my second on-site stay to go back and reserve FPs for 7/23-7/27.

EDIT: Just a case of user error... I am able to make FP+ selections now with a rolling 60-day window beyond my first check-out date.

You'll need to link them as family & friends. They'll get an email that they'll need to accept before you are officially linked.

Quick question and I do apologize if this has been covered already. If I only schedule 1 FP in advance, would I be eligible to start acquiring my additional FPs as soon as that one is used without regard to tiering? For example, if I book a FP for TT at Epcot at 9:00am and no other FPs, can I use my FP and then immediately acquire one for Soarin'? Hope that makes sense.

In order to schedule an additional tier 1 in the same park, you must first use (or let expire) all 3 original FPs.

Just to make sure I understand correctly: I HAVE to book 3 FPs in advance? I'm not interested in the other attractions on the Tier 2 list. This would be our 2nd day in the park and will cover the Tier 2 attractions my family is interested in on the 1st day we're in Epcot. So, I need to go ahead and book 2 of them anyway? That seems wasteful since I would be holding FP times that I will not use and another guest may want.

The only way to get a 2nd Tier 1 is to use your initial 3 FPs. A recent DISer reported that allowing a FP to expire didn't solve the "use all 3" and she had to book and tap the FP tapstile to register usage.

Although it seems wasteful to book unnecessary Tier 2s, it's Disney's method for limiting Tier 1 FP usage. Book 2 Tier 2s that you can Modify to use/tap in succession with very little wait to be able to book another Tier 1 as your 4th of the day.

Curious how booking went for you this morning @cadd10? Did FEA show times before 11 am on your date?

Yes, the first available time for FEA was 11am. Thankfully, I was prepared. I got it for the day we go to the left into World Showcase. I was wondering if it would work going there first at 9am, but I didn't want to chance it.

Will the ride open early for morning EMH?

 

[DVC4US]

I have FPs already booked for our party of 8. Can I cancel 1 person on one of the days and not mess up the other 7 people?

Yes. Go to Change Party on the app and it allows you to make the change there.

Or, if 1 person wants a different FP, use Modify and change the FP for that specific person.

Thanks - that's what I thought but wanted to double check before I tried it.

So, it turned out just to be user error on my part. I have the rolling 60-day window even with the AP. I went back and edited my original post to try to avoid any future confusion. Sorry about that!

 

[Naterfan]

My family and I are going to WDW this fall and I have no experience with scheduling FP. When I go the schedule a ride or show, will all three of us be lumped together or will I have to schedule each of us individually? We're all on my MDE account.

Thanks for coming back! I'll edit mine too as well as removed it from yours to not confuse anyone with my posted info.

You have the option to select those individuals you want to include in your booking party. If you intend to do everything together, just "select all" at the beginning of the process.

Going to disney for first time in June this year

We have me, wife, 5 yr old...and 1 yr old...we have park hopper

one day my 5 yr old and me are using all of our FP in MK and not using my wife's FP and going to Epcot to ride
Soarin...

since we cannot reserve FP in two areas my question is if we put my wifes magic band on 5 yr old and since he is less than 7 an adult has to ride with him if that would be doable?

 

[hiroMYhero]

@EGW113 is reporting that FEA is available to book for a 9:00a FP return window.

ETA: the 9:00a FP return window is only available for the first week that FEA is open. 11:00a is the first FP return window from June 27th forward. Thank you, @Cluelyss!
