FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Can we book our FPs on more than one computer at a time? If we're logged into the MDE site on 2 computers, will it let us book FPs at the same time for different days of our trip?

Yes

I was able to make 2 fast passes from two different parks today, is this something new that is being rolled out that I just completely missed or is this just a glitch? (Photo attached)

Had you already used 1 FP in a park? If so, you can hold your two remaining FPs in two different parks.

Ohhh that explains it. Thanks!

I think what is more important is to plan on AK as one of your final park days. You should be able to see more FoP availability and as soon as you choose a time and confirm, begin the process of booking for 7DMT.

This is what I did - AK was my second and 8th day. Our first AK day had nothing so went to the second AK day and managed to get one no problem. I then worked on other parks, filling them in as I went. This was my first time booking FP+ so it took a little bit to figure it out, the overlaps got a bit tricky, plus I was trying to leave pool/resort time in the afternoons. 7DMT had reasonable availability through the week, I wound up with a 3:40pm on our first day (so no pool time that afternoon!).

How difficult will it be to book ROL FPs (family of 4) for the first day of our 7 day trip at 60 days out end of October? We have two days planned for AK but ROL isn't showing on the second day according to the NOV calendar.

Wait, what? I must have read this wrong. Once you use 1 FP in a park, I know that you can make 2 more in a different park, but are you saying that you can make 2 more in 2 different parks?
In other words, Scenario A: tapstile 1 ride in Epcot make 2 more same day FPs, 1 in HS and 1 in MK?
Or Scenario B: tapstile 1 ride in Epcot, make same day FP in HS, tapstile that ride, then same day FP in MK?
I really thought I had this!

Yep, can even be Tier 1 rides

So you don't have to be physically in the 2nd park before you choose to get your 3rd FP in a 3rd park? Not that any of my plans involve 3 parks in a day- at least, not yet! (we did 4 one trip, but that was before FP+)

Correct. The FP system has to know you're actually in line for FP#1 and then you can book for Park#2 and even Park#3.

I'm a little behind on this thread and I just read this, so you may have already booked, but, in answer, I make my touring plans first, then I schedule the FPs based on how the FP rides fit into my plans.

Thanks. I kind of made some touring plans, but then all heck broke loose when I didn't get FOP at all and didn't get FEA at the time I wanted, lol. So, I have FP for every ride we wanted (except FOP), but I am going to have to revisit my touring plans and maybe try to slowly adjust some of my FP times in accordance with the touring plans. Or since I have a paid subscription to Touring Plans, I can plug in my FP times and it will schedule my day around it.

Also, to someone that posted above - the website crashed on me after booking one or two FP and I had to switch to the app on my phone. Makes me wonder if I had started on my phone, would I have been able to get FOP.

Not sure if this has been answered before. Does someone with a 3 night onsite stay have less of a chance than someone with a 10 night onsite stay?

For FoP, your odds of booking a FP is greatly diminished compared to a Guest who can book 11 days out when you can book only 4 days out.

Also depends on time of year etc.

I imagine this is one of the reasons people book throwaways. It would give them an advantage to securing hard to get FP+

For FoP? Yes.
I have found that the first 3 days of FP for FoP are gone every time I have gone to book FP for a trip. I have only found FP starting on day 4 and those were in the PM. I just booked for an Oct trip yesterday and the same was true when I booked for my August trip a couple months ago. Others are reporting the same experience. A few are finding them on day 3 but it's much more rare. Most everyone is finding them on day 4 and on. The later in the trip the earlier in the day you can find them. By day 5 most are finding them in the morning.

A throwaway won't help much for FoP. That will only give you 1 days worth (or 2) of FP. You aren't going to have much of a chance at FoP in just 2 days of FP
It helps for everything else though

OK, so I added a RO reservation in front of my package stay for October. I also have a single night RO reservation after my package stay that I will probably cancel. However when I select the button for FP+ reservations, it's still showing my selection date as being 60 days from the start of my package stay, not the RO stay in front of it. They are all in the same MDE, but of course the tickets are only tied to the package. I thought I could start booking FP+ from the start of my RO stay but only for the package dates? Is the system just showing the wrong date and it will let me book them 60 days out from our RO reservation? I guess I can spread the tickets out and make them both packages but then I will be paying more per ticket.

New Resort bookings can take up to a day before they are registered in MDE and meshed with the FP system.

Does this answer from the FAQ apply to my specific situation described below?

• 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 scenario:

I am staying onsite for a full week, Saturday-Saturday. Others in my family have currently booked Sunday-Saturday, but Sunday and Monday are a separate reservation that may need to be cancelled eventually as they may stay offsite for those days. I know I won't be able to make FP reservations for them until 60 days out from that Sunday, but my question is what happens to the FP's if they cancel the hotel reservation for Sunday/Monday under 60 days? Now they only have an onsite stay Tuesday-Saturday and FP's scheduled for Monday. I assume the above applies here (meaning the FP's will stay if they cancel), just want to be sure. They will have tickets linked to their MDX accounts.
