FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

[mikerohlfing]

Sorry in advance, I just want to clarify because this language is confusing to me...

• Offsite Stay followed by Onsite RO Stay. The 60-day FP booking window will open at 60 days before the check-in date of the onsite RO stay and will extend until the checkout date of the onsite RO stay. Since the offsite stay precedes the onsite RO stay, this window already includes booking for the offsite stay. Additionally, the booking window will roll forward (a “rolling 60”) each day beyond the onsite RO checkout date until the guest checks out of the onsite resort. All of this assumes valid tickets are linked to the MDX account.

My current plan...

1. Thursday Day - arrive in Orlando in the morning and do Epcot for 8ish hours
2. Thursday Night - spend the night at Cabana Bay in Universal
3. Friday Day - Universal Studios
4. Friday Night - Off Site hotel
5. Saturday Day - Magic Kingdom
6. Saturday Night - Pop Century (room-only reservation)
7. Sunday Morning - Fly Home

I haven't bought park tickets yet. If I buy a 2-day park ticket, will I be able to make 60-day Fastpass+ reservations for my Thursday trip to Epcot despite being two days before I'm staying at Pop? Thanks!

Yes! When your 60-day Pop booking window opens, it includes everyday within that open window.

Questions:
1. If - for example - I have a 7DMT FP+ for 4:00 pm, a Space Mountain FP+ for 5:00 pm, and a Buzz FP+ for 6:00 pm, and I want to see if there would be a 7DMT available for 5:30 pm, will it show up when I click Modify for the 7DMT? Or will it not even show up because I have other FPs scheduled at that time?

2. If you don't have an AP, can you still let the Tier 2 FP+ at Epcot expire, or do you have to tap them?

3. How late in the day are people seeing (during busy times, 7's though 9's) same-day Tier 1 FP+ at Epcot and DHS?

1. No. Your other FPs block it from showing up if available.
2. Expiring is fine - as far as it is known - but if you are near the ride, tap your MB just to be sure.
3. Unknown - not too many people report back on specifics. If you have tickets linked to your account, you can check in the evening to see what is available.

That's what I was thinking, based on what it was showing for me. I may take a chance and move my Space and Spalsh Mountain for the evening, just to see if I get better availability for 7DMT.

That would work. I checked right now for MK for this evening and there are FPs for Space and Splash - party of 2.

"FPs cannot be scheduled during hard-ticket events such as Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, or Night of Joy. However, party tickets can be used for scheduling FPs during the party’s 3-hour grace period from 4:00p to 7:00p. Note that in past seasons Disney has canceled any FPs whose windows ended at 6:30p or later, therefore it is recommended to schedule these 3 FPs back-to-back between 3:30p and 6:30p. These FPs are not in addition to the 3 other FPs that a guest may already have scheduled that day using a regular park ticket, since the MDX system allows a maximum of 3 FPs per guest per day per account."

Could someone clarify this for me please? Does this mean I will be able to book 3 FPs between 3:30-6:30 for the day of our MNSSHP, 60 days out on MDX?

Yes, if you aren't using any other FPs that day.

You can book for 3:30, 4:30 and 5:30 for that specific party day.

 

[RCMommy]

Thank you. Should it just appear on MDX for Magic Kingdom for that day? We do not have park tickets for earlier in the day, only party tickets.

Yes. The Party ticket entitlement will provide you the ability to book FPs for that specific day.

 

[RCMommy]

Thank you very much!

Sorry if this has been asked before. I thought I was pretty good at FP+ but have experienced a new "issue" that I have never come across and need help.

I am traveling in September with friends. It seems the couple I'm going with maintains one MDE profile and then manages the other persons through that profile with out them having their own. I linked to the actual MDE profile where both parties hotel reservation, tickets, and FP+ are stored. However, I see I can only access that one person's profile and then other person doesn't show up as an option for anything. I don't see him on the resort reservation, on the FPs, on dinning. or on the people you may know section. Is this because he is just a managed account and doesn't have his own?

If you try to add him to your Family/Friends list, it should allow you to add him - will state that he is "managed by" the other person.

When linking, make sure everything is selected to View/Share with the other MDE account.

Interesting. His name doesn't show up as an option at all and view/share is selected.

Could he possibly have his own MDE and is linked to your friend's?

 

[vinotinto]

That would work. I checked right now for MK for this evening and there are FPs for Space and Splash - party of 2.

Just wanted to say thanks again. This worked perfectly. Moved my other two FP+s for the opposite time and this morning I found the FP+ for 7DMT for the perfect time. Then, moved the other two back to within 10 minutes.

It is possible that he just doesn't realize he has his own. He said they always log into the same shared MDE account to do anything. He even says he booked his own fastpasses yesterday. I also know he bought both their tickets at the same time and sees himself in their MDE account. I found his name looking with the reservation number but not sure where the invite went.

They must be linked then. He doesn't realize he can do all that with linked and not just "managed by" in one MDE.

So cool!! I'm glad that worked out perfectly for you!
