Fastpass Order Switch

[mumumouse]

Can anyone please tell me if there is any way to change the order of my Fastpass selections? Not sure what I was thinking, but I have my selections as follows: Mermaid/Mine Train/Peter Pan. I know, everyone is telling me that Mermaid is not a top priority, I get that. We have a friend with us who has never been to Disney and Ariel is her favorite character. What I would like to do is simply move Peter Pan to the top of the heap. The problem I am having is that I can change Peter Pan's time, which in turn bumps it up to the top. The only issue is it also changes the start time and makes Peter Pan fall between 9 and 10am. My current selection time for Mermaid 1st, is at 10:05. What I would like is Peter Pan 1st, even though I have been told that there is no need to get a Fastpass for Peter Pan at 9am. I will believe it when I see it! That line is always long!! I can't do the "change experience" thing, because it does not list Peter Pan as a choice when I try to change Mermaid (probably because I already have Peter Pan). There has got to be a simple solution. All I want is Peter Pan/Mine Train/Mermaid. My logic is the order I will approach these as I go in to the park. Mermaid does not seem right as a first choice because it is at the back of Fantasyland in comparison to Peter Pan. I have been told to head straight to Peter Pan. But with kids, they want to stop and collect autographs when they see the characters at the front of the park. Otherwise I would dash straight to Peter Pan w/o a Fastpass. Can you tell I am a bit manic over this!!?Hope my question makes sense....

I think you might be worrying too much!

I'm not as familiar as others here, but I think once you have the three you want, the only way to change them around is one at a time, changing the time.

I'm confused...you said you can change Peter Pan to 9:00 so it is first, the way you want? But that is too early??

I suppose you could cancel them all and start from scratch, but I would not advise that because of the danger you would not be able to get a 7DMT FP+.

Don't worry too much about the locations. If you start with Mermaid, it's really not that far to Mine Train, and then Peter Pan.

Sorry, I just meant I would like to have Peter Pan first in line, but the only way I can figure out to do that is to "change time" on my existing Peter Pan (which at this point is for 12:25), Mermaid is currently the first pass starting at I belive 10:05. I just meant, I didn't want the first pass to start at 9, which is the time offered if I change the time on my current Peter Pan. I know, very confusing. I didn't want to have anything at 9 to 10, as we are slow in the morning and my daughter hates it when I hit the park running to the first fastpass! We will have a first timer with us and I want her to be able to take it all in as we enter the park. Really excited about riding Mine Train. It was not open last spring. I know, I am worrying too much. The distance to Mermaid is not bad. It just seems silly to walk past so much and not ride. I saw a site that had a touring plan for 10 rides before lunch. I think that only included the 1st 3 passes and the rest were standby. Yeah right! I think that is a little too ambitious! I figured we would be lucky getting in Mermaid/Mine Train/Peter Pan and then a late lunch. And that is with Fastpass. That seems more realistic to me. My 1st pass starts at 10:05.

I am new to the fastpass+system, so I am not 100% on this. I just now made my selections, After first I selected the wrong times. I had to cancel all 3 selections and start over. It was easier to do this on my phone through the app. than on the computer. I then went back and selected the 3 that I wanted and looked at the 4 time offers they gave me. I then selected the times that were closest to what I wanted. I was not able to select the order they go in. So I am not sure you are able to select the order you want them to be. I think you just have to go by the time options they give you.

It's not going to let you select a Peter Pan time that conflicts with your currently selected Mermaid time. Move your Mermaid time to some arbitrary time farther away from the window you want, then move Pan to the time slot Mermaid was in. Then you should be free to put Mermaid into the slot you had Pan in originally, assuming there is availability in the time slots you want.

But, I'd think about skipping a FP for PP.
Go there first and enjoy the new line.

I agree. People are saying that the new interactive queue is actually better than the ride itself. You'll miss that if you use a fastpass.

Ditto.

Do NOT do this. You will lose your Mine Train FP and likely won't get it back. Just move your mermaid FP to some time much later in the afternoon, then move PP into the 10-11am slot, then adjust the Mermaid time as needed.

FP+.

It's the new Rubik's Cube.

I think that could catch on.

We went to MK 3 days last week. The new PP queue is well worth it to see at least once, and the best time to do it is at RD. We stopped to take pictures and arrived at PP at 9:05 and had an 8 minute wait, enough time to enjoy the queue. If you don't RD PP, I would definitely use a FP on it.

We had a 7 year old girl in our group who's 2nd favorite movie is Little Mermaid (behind Frozen of course). We rode the Little Mermaid ride 5 times. In the afternoon on a moderately busy Saturday, the posted wait time was 40 minutes. I timed it, and we actually waited 11 minutes. Every other time we rode it, the posted wait time was 20 minutes, and we walked on with no wait at all. There are much better options to use one of your FPs on.

The day we did RD for PP, we had FPs for 7DMT, ETWB, and A&E. Another day we had FPs for 7DMT, PP, and Pooh. All of these FPs were well worth it, as all of these were posted 40 minute waits or more when we used these FPs.

As other posts have said, change the FP time of Little Mermaid ride to any other time, and then adjust the FP time of PP, and then make additional changes from there.

Thanks everyone. I actually love Peter Pan, but have never loved the line. It is just too short a ride to stand in a long line for. But again I really love it. I just think it is super charming and old school Disney. I do want to see the interactive line. My daughter has been trying show me things about it on line and I keep covering my eyes and ears!! I want it to be fresh when I see it with my own eyes!! Same with Mine Train! So fun to have something new to look forward to! I want to try the tips about moving Mermaid time and then putting Pan in its place. I guess I am just scared! Don't want to mess anything up. Not fooling with Mine Train. I have a feeling that one will be a hard one to get to ride twice, which is most likely what we will want to do. So does everyone think I could get on Peter Pan w/no pass w/o a super long wait, if we ride it first thing? It usually is my first ride (or It's A Small World) anyway. It just seems like several years back when I stubbornly insisted on getting in the standby line and riding it first, I kind of killed the trip/the line was soooo long. We usually fool around a bit when we come in to the park, getting autographs, etc. My daughter could probably bypass that, but we will have her friend with us who has never been before, so hate to rush thru because of her. My thought was to do Pan w/ & w/o fastpass. I am just afraid that with everyone being able to reserve fastpass in advance, I may need to leave things alone. Oh, and as far as moving Mermaid time, to try to move Pan to that slot....if I click on "change time" for Pan it gives me a 9am. So does that mean it gives me that because Mermaid is currently in the 10:05 slot on my plans or could it actually also mean that there IS NO 10:05 slot for Pan. If that is the case I am afraid to tamper with things. I played with Mine Train time just for the heck of it and it only shows later afternoon times now, so I am so glad I grabbed the 11 time slot for that. I have everything sort of revolving around BOG in the hopes we can do lunch there. The problem is that in order to do that last year, we got in line right after Peter Pan (which was our first fastpass). It seemed early to get in line for lunch, but it all worked out. By the time we were in there, we were ready. I feel like it might have been a 45 min. wait in standby for BOG last year. I want in again just to show our friend what it is like. The food is just so so. It is then overall concept that is neat. Oh, back to PP, I am afraid there will be a bit more of rush to it, since everyone wants to try the new line!! As far as Mermaid fastpass, I know it is not a top priority. The first time we rode it, a person at our hotel told us to do the standby line. She said it should not be missed. It is okay. But now that I have seen it, I can skip it. Nothing that special. Last year we jumped in the standby line. The sign showed it to be a fair wait time. Then it seemed like the darn line took forever and a day! Remember the old line to wait for Ariel. Partially in the hot sun. Yikes!

Sorry what is ETWB?

On my 2nd day, which is a magic morning day...we have Splash Mountain, Thunder Mount. Railroad and A & E. Should I switch out Splash Mountain for Mine Train. Even though we have a pass for it on our first day, I feel like it will be something we will want to ride again. I have read where people get the fastpass for Thunder and do the standby line for Splash, as it seems to be a more pleasant line in terms of being partly shaded. Should I be worried about any of the Mountains running out of passes. We did not plan well. One MK day is Monday/notorious for being crazy and the other day is morning magic hours day. If it were up to me I would spend my entire time at MK and Epcot. Alternating. I just love the openness of Epcot and the Flower and Garden Festivel after being crowded in MK!

 

[mumumouse]

Oh, okay. I had actually thought of switching my Mermaid pass for Belle, strictly location wise as we move thru the park! I could not believe after telling my brother and his wife to take their grandsons to Belle on their Oct. trip. They skipped it. They thought it was going to be too girly. The kids were a great age for it too. I think it is pretty neat.

If you can make that switch I would. You stand a far better chance of getting a Splash FP if you change your minds than you would of finding one for 7DMT last minute if you decided last minute to try to get another one.

Any thoughts on getting my first 3 passes in by lunchtime?? Versus getting those a little later in the morning/early afternoon. I read somewhere that someone had gotten 10 rides in by lunch (3 of those with FP) seems impossible to me. I kind of don't get when people say "save" your passes for the busiest time of day, when we can now get more and more. No need to be saving. What are ya'll's thoughts!? How has everyone done with the kiosk lines? I heard that the one at the back of Fantasyland/Circus is the least busy.

What time did the park open that day? I think we are going on a day that park opens at 9. I wanted to try to see the Good Morning show, which I have never seen. My concern is spring break and the time springing forward. We are coming fr Texas. So it all seems great on paper, but in order to make it there..for RD we have to be up early, have breakfast, catch bus fr Pop Century, etc. Would we just be wiped out?? I vaguely remember doing MAGIC Hours once (which would not be the case this day) and being so drowsy and pooped all day! It just seems impossible to make it to Pan by 9:05, but if you did it , I guess we could too@!! I will only have 2 13 yr old girls with me. 1 really perky one and the other one less so! I am getting slower myself

Oops, just tried to switch fr Splash Mountain to Mine Train on my 2nd MK day. Darn it, I have taken too long. They only offer evening times for that now, which would tie up my 3 passes and being able to add on more! Last year we seemed to be able to accomplish a lot just having 3 passes. Now that we can get more, I think things are going to get crazy. Maybe that day we should just go for the mine train pass and enjoy knowing it is there in the evening?? We are kind of tied up that day anyway/our A & E pass is at 2:30 or 3:30 anyway. So I am afraid if I wait any longer, ie getting new pass day of after we do A & E, we would not get another pass for Mine Train that day. Do Splash Mountain passes actually run out? This is my daughter's favorite ride, so I would like to think we could get a few FPs on it.
