FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

[DisneyCayley]

I'm getting close to FP booking time...just under 2 weeks. I've gone into the FP section in the app to check it out and click the whole party and continue and then a message pops up that says NOT SO FAST and asks me to link everyone's tickets or reservations. Will it automatically do that at the 60 day mark or should I call before to make sure we are all linked? Apologies if discussed before!

Packages only open the FP window at exactly 60 days prior to check-in. No reason to call or to check the FP area of MDE.

We are staying onsite with 4 days of park tickets and have purchased MNSSHP tickets. The day of the party we will be entering at 4 pm with the party tickets (not using a park ticket that day). When we book our fast passes will we have any trouble getting our 4 days of fast passes and an additional three passes for the party??

You won't have a problem. Book your 1st FP on Party day for 3:30... you have until 4:30/4:45p to use it.

We will be traveling with a one year old in several weeks to disney. I made my 3 fast pass choices per day. There may be occasssions where due to him napping etc I may not be able to ride an attraction we fastpass but my husband will. What will happen if i do not use the fast pass does my husband have to actually scan my band to make it seem like i went on the ride so we can get a 4th fastpass later on. I know we had this issue once before if we did not scan the band at the 2 locations in the line que was wondering if things have changed since then.??

He can ride a 2nd time using your FP. If he doesn't want to ride again, just have him tap yours at the FP tapstile as he goes through. There is no longer the 2nd touch point for the FP line.

Ok so if we do not tap one of them that is when you have issues correct???

You would have to wait until the FP has fully expired before you try for FP#4.

Another trip with us being able to book FP a day early.
We have a tentative trip planned for 10/9 through 10/14
60 days is tomorrow, that's when I can do online check in
But for a test I went in and tried and sure enough, I can book our FP today (8/9). For the entire trip.

I was able to book my FPs a day early for my Oct. 14 check in this morning. Thanks for this info, or I would have never thought to check!!

We are also AP, though, and have another onsite trip booked before this one (though no FPs selected for that trip, just a room), so can't prove or disprove either of your other theories!

Our fast pass + window opens tomorrow. When I attempt to practice booking, I receive a prompt stating I have no valid tickets linked to my account. Is this because my fast pass window doesn't open till tomorrow? We have Disney hotel/ticket package booked.

Sorry if this question has already been asked. Just getting nervous for booking our passes tomorrow.

Yes that is why you are getting that message as soon as it is 60 days out at 7am eastern time you will no longer receive that message and you can make your fp+ choices..do the bigger ones first frozen, sdmt

Yep, because it's a package you can't do anything till 60 days. The system can't/doesn't see tickets in a package till that magic 60th day.
If you have stand alone room only and separate tickets you it will see those tickets and you can book for the next 30 days out anytime you want and then, on day 60 it will switch on and give you the ability to book for your trip

Does it make a difference whether fastpass + is booked on desktop/laptop, ipad or iphone? Did anyone find one easier to use than another. Ex. App vs signing into MDE.

Yes, it is.

Woo hoo! Cool thanks!

I have read through all the first posts but not the entire thread. Trying to figure out how I determine my exact day for booking FP - should I just count 60 days ahead of my check-in day (staying at AKL)? We check in Oct. 29, but won't be going to the parks until the 30th. MDE still shows a booking window of just 30 days. Is August 30 the morning I can start booking FP? Also, how do I go about "practicing" FP booking (or at least peeking at the screen setup)? Thanks!

I use time and date calculator: http://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadd.html

You have a package so you won't be able to practice. Your booking window opens at exactly 60 days prior to check-in at 7:00a ET.

 

[COscrapper]

Thanks - I don't think I have a package though? We rented DVC points.

Sorry, you don't have a package. You are more than 60 days out from your check-in date.

• For onsite guests with a room-only reservation, the 60-day prebooking window will not appear until the 60-day mark, assuming valid tickets are attached to the account. Before this point only a 30-day window (from the current day) will be active, again assuming valid tickets are attached to the account. It is possible to practice booking FPs using this 30-day window.
