FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

[Mom2Stitch]

@Mom2Stitch ~ With both July and August having 31 days, perhaps your booking window will open on July 2nd?

If you don't mind checking on the 2nd and 3rd, it will be interesting to hear of your results!

Tried this morning (once I was able to get logged in, yay MDE) and was not able to book anything. Will try again tomorrow.

I have a somewhat unique situation and need advice.
We are visiting Disney World from Sept 10-18. My father in law is arriving later and staying Sept 14-18. I have him on our MDE and have made dining reservations for him with no issues.
So I come up on 60 days next week and will be able to start FP reservations. I am assuming I will be unable to book FP for my father in law until 60 till the 14th? If so this creates an issue being that we want to use our Fastpasses together and the best way to do this is to book together. I don't really want to wait to book half our FPs till his window opens.
Any advice or clarity?

If his tickets are separately linked (not a package), he shares your booking window so plan on including him in your group when you book as soon as your 60-day window opens.

If he has a package, you must wait to book his FPs when his window opens 60-days before his package begins.

He does have a package unfortunately. That really complicates things. I guess the best I can do is to try to book the same fastpasses separately. Thank for your help!

And, when you book, include him on the 14th to see if FPs for him can be booked as there have been conflicting reports about booking for a later arriving group member with a package. It's always best to try and see what happens.

No luck a day early for me, MDE still shows me at 61 days to go and the Make Selection button is still showing up with a closed lock on it. Unless I'm going in the wrong way, but not sure of another way. I also tried on the app and no luck there either.

Oh well, tomorrow is for sure, lol

I have found it pretty easy to add 1 person to FPs we have already booked, at least if I do them more than 30 days out. If he is linked to your MDE all you will need to do on his booking day is go into view details of your FP, select change party, and add him as a guest. I just had to do this for our trip in June and did it again for an upcoming trip in Aug.

If you can't add him to your time, then try to book him as a single for an overlapping time. I did this for our trip in June when I had to switch around 1 person in our party and this was after the 30 day window. The only ride I had a problem with in MK was SDMT so I booked an overlapping time and just kept checking every day to see if a better time showed up. About 3 days out, I was finally able to get him the exact same time as our FP.

Edited to correct information.

Thanks for sharing this info! I had wondered where the former "Copy" function could be found.

I wondered the same! I tried to find it on our trip and I couldn't.

I'm going to correct myself - I will also edit my post above. It is actually the "change party" you need to click on to add a member to your party instead of the "modify".

I love this thread, it's so helpful. Planning FP's stresses me out, especially this year since I'm booking for 8 people. I'm making my FP's on 7/15 and I have a crazy idea but I'm throwing it out to the boards to see if this is just too risky or absolutely brilliant. We have a 8:00am Akershus ADR on our first day (9/14). The idea is to finish our breakfast around 9am then get onto Frozen Ever After, allowing us to save our Tier 1 FP's for Soarin'. I'm also wondering if it will even be possible to get a FEE FP on our first day, so my idea might be our only option.

Too risky or brilliant?

Brilliant as long as you pay for your breakfast as soon as you are seated and then head to the FEA line by 8:45a.

Not sure what you mean about a FEE FP...do you mean FREE FP...if so, how do you do that?

BTW, I've read several folks are doing the early breakfast at Akershus and then jumping in line for FEA...sometimes they are being held until RD, but they still are able to get into line before the general masses. I know some on this thread have reported their success on other threads....

I think she means FEA.

Well, duh...I get it now...just a bit slow! LOL

 

[mandis77]

LOL yeah I meant FEA just a typo! It's so hard to plan FP's at EPCOT... ugh.
I need to go read other people's stories who have done this already.
Thanks!
