Fastpass+/regular FP

[Wendaeh]

Good morning - I apologize in advance if this has been asked, but I couldn't find my answer.

We have not been to Disney since the new Fastpass+ system has been in testing. From what I have read and seen on commercials, it is only available for select WDW resorts now. My son left for his senior class trip this morning: how will he know if he has FP+? If he gets a wristband? Are there still regular fastpasses available during the trial?

If he has FP+ I would like to send him a text with information on how to use it. The high school boys will not be planners, but they could certainly find a kiosk when they enter a park and pick 3 rides for FP+ I would think.

Thank you -
Wendy

The commercials are misleading and incorrect. FP+ is the only option right now. If they are staying onsite, they can go online and choose FP+ options 60 days out. If they are staying offsite, as of right now, they need to find a kiosk every day when they enter the park. Tell them to be prepared for long waits at the kiosks early in the day.
