FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

[marciemi]

Just a quick update since I know there have been some conflicting reports on this. Yesterday I tested the "let 2 Tier 2's expire" concept. Once I was past the window for those 2 I used my Tier 1 and was able to immediately book another Tier 1. This is the 4th time this has worked for me over the last couple months, and I'll try one more time today. I think the important thing to know is that you do not try to modify the expired Tier 2's. Instead, just go in from the big + symbol that pops up on the bottom, select FP, and choose a new one as if you were just selecting a new FPP for the day. Once you choose the second Tier 1, you will no longer be able to modify the expired Tier 2's, and once I refreshed they deleted from my FPP plans for the day on MDE. I did a whole tutorial on this for another group if anyone is interested, but it's mostly just the same as what I'd posted in this thread in post #513 previously.

Thank you for this.

Just to confirm, you still need to at least book 2 tier 2s to be able to get a 2nd tier 1, correct? Just booking 1 tier 1 will lock you out of another tier 1 (in that park)?

That's correct because the system ensures you have booked your alottment of 3, even though you allow some to expire, before you can book an additional Tier 1.

Just wondering how the Tier 1 same day FP availability is...what was left to pick from when you tried this?

@amok409 ~ if there is an encircled Mickey head on the bottom front of your card (next to Walt Disney World), you'll be able to tap them at the readers.

If you don't have the Mickey head, go to a Ticket Booth to exchange them for an RFID card.

Any one have a picture of this card that has the Mickey head? Just curious because I just looked at my Military Salute tickets and there is Mickey head in a circle but at the top left. Next to head it says Fast Pass +

Then you are fine. Your ticket signifies that it is an RFID card.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome! Have a fun trip!

Hello. I was hoping someone could confirm length of stay for fp+ info for me. For a room only reservation with separate tickets linked in MDE, I've seen it listed as length of stay up to 10 days (including check in and check out days) and I've seen it listed as length of stay period, but not including check out date. Could someone please confirm for me what's actually true? Thank you!

Your FP booking window opens 60 days before check-in and you can schedule FPs through your checkout day as long as you have the valid ticket entitlements. After that, the 60-day window begins rolling forward beginning 60 days out from the day after your checkout date.

Surprisingly yesterday I got a Soarin' for 7:20 at that time (2:45ish). However, I was only looking for one person and I'm sure it was one that someone had just cancelled. When I searched for another for one more family member, it only had availability for Illuminations and Living with the Land.

I tried this again today and once again was able to let 2 Tier 2's expire and use a Tier 1 (Soarin' today) and then book another Tier 1. At Epcot at 2pm, my only choices were Illuminations and Living with the Land. However, I also looked at HS just to see what was available and was surprised by the Tier 1 choices:

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

We were able to get Rock N' Roll fp for 8:15pm while we were eating dinner around 7pm. We were also able to get Seven Dwarfs and Space Mountain under the same circumstances - while eating dinner. This was earlier this month. We were very excited and surprised that those rides were available.

*obligatory apology if this has been answered*

I think I understand the new changes, but specifically if you plan to park hop, can you book a tier 1 in a second park from MDX once you've used all three in the first park?

Example: We use three FPP in any park... then we want to hop to either HS or EP... Assuming any are available, we can book them from the MDX app?

Yes, that's correct. The minute you check in for your 3rd FP, you can immediately book your 4th, via the app, at any park.

Yes, some are booking their highest priority for each day and then filling in their 2nd and 3rd FP choices later.

How do you book one FP per day/ or by ride??? Isn't it all three rides per day???? I have never done it before so a bit confusing. Is there a good link to seeing example screen shots?

With the recent changes you are no longer forced to select 3 attractions initially. You make FPs one at a time now, and can preschedule 1, 2 or 3.

You are still limited to 1 park for your initial selections, but if you choose to just FP one ride then want to hop to another park, you can schedule FP 2 and 3 at park #2 immediately upon checking in for FP 1.

How do you pre schedule exactly? Is that before the 60 day window? Thanks!

Preschedule just refers to the normal process of booking your FPs ahead of time, as opposed to booking the day of.
