FP+ is now completely worthless if you are staying offsite.

[Canuckbiggs]

I am SO HAPPY I stumbled across the "Throwaway Room" thread and used a Throwaway Campsite to maximize the benefit for our 2 families!

I have every FP+ I wanted, when I wanted, 9 magic bands and a BOG Lunch reservation.

Best $65 I have every spent.

Having multiple MBs doesn't get you more than 3 FPs per day. You get new MBs every time you make a reservation, so if it worked that way, anyone who's gone more than once since MBs were introduced would be able to get more than 3 per day. MBs are just a way to access the information on your MDE account; there's nothing "on" them.

Search the boards. Apparently this is EXACTLY what you are able to do with them.

Only "extra" same day FPs.

Only "extra" same day FPs.

Which still deletes the pool.
But those on throwaway rooms? Made in advance.

It does not matter if you stay onsite or not. I got up at midnight at my 60 days window and did not get most of what I wanted. I am seeing a lot of openings for FP+ with 24 hour notice... try making the selections much closer to your trip.

I haven't read the thread, but going by the title, I would assume that the reason people are able to get more FPs is because they're setting up more than one MDE account, not because they have more than one MB.

Quoted from the first post:

"You can get a second set of FP+ if you make your new resort reservation on a different MDE than the one you used last time."

I'm not sure what you are asking?

Someone who can't get FPs they want at 30 days likely won't find what they want same day.

More and more people are going to use throw away rooms and multiple MDE accounts to get the FP+ reservations they want. Pretty soom we'll be seeing posts from people who were able to ride 7DMT multiple times in 1 day with FP+.
And this is better and fairer than legacy FP....how?

 

[SHAYMARAYSMOM]

It is very sad that people can not get the fast passes they want. It is even worse that people have made a thread on here and are bragging how they are taking the loop hole and running with it.
Very sad

This post makes me think of that car insurance ad with the old lady sharing her vacation photos on her "wall"

"That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works."

It is clear from your post count that you are a longtime regular...are you still confused on how the DIS boards mentality functions? We are all experts and all our opinions are the only correct ones. a subject like this is just begging the opposite opinion to come set them straight...chumming the waters.

Yes you're right. How foolish of me to think otherwise, there just seems to be more and more opinionated and newer " experts ".

There you go

 

[BigAlsGal]

Big surprise. Really. OMG I didn't see this coming at all!!!!! Its my 30 day window, I sign in for my fast pass selections at midnight eastern time, but lo and behold everything good has "ended for the day".
This includes:
1. 7DMT
2. Meet and Greet with Anna and Elsa
3. Enchanted Tales with Belle
4. Main Street Electrical Parade
5. Festival of Fantasy Parade

So basically, unless you stay onsite, you will not get fast passes to anything really good, because the onsite peeps with their 60 day window get to pick and choose first. So now, after 9 years of multiple Disney trips a year, I am left with the left overs.

Later baby. This is our last Disney trip. It was fun. Now it just sucks, and its a waste of money. Maybe we will manage to receive some leftover scraps and my daughter will be able to meet Anna and Elsa at the Christmas party or something.

To be fair technically even with legacy fastpass there was never a fastpass for parades so up until FP+ you were waiting for them anyway. So nothing has really changed for you there. So you're basically mad that you can't get a FP+ for the 3 newest and most popular attractions at MK. Leftovers......AKA 80% of the park.

I agree with this part:

I don't agree with this part:

WDW has created/permitted these capabilities. I don't fault anyone for finding and using them. If you are inclined to blame anyone, blame Disney.

 

[ArwenMarie]

Why? I predicted about two or so years ago that WDW's intent is to fill the parks with onsite guests (resort and DVC) and off-site guests would be lucky to just get in the gates.

And as they move to alienate offsite more and more, everyone might want to start saying adios to free dining and room discounts

Personally, I would not use any of these loopholes because I don't think it's fair to other guests. But I'm not going to pass judgement on anyone who decides to take advantage of the situation. Disney created this major cluster and it's up to them to fix it.

I don't feel that anyone is taking advantage of Disney (refillable mug drama- ugh) - however it bothers me a lot that people don't think of how unfair it is to other guests. That's it. Period.

Seems like you just did.

I am paying for my campsite in full.

No matter what "system" Disney designs people will find ways to maximize their benefit from it.

Until they are caught and things change. "People" ruin everything. Just follow the rules and everyone can benefit.

well I do blame people. If the found this maybe they should have informed Disney of this. But instead they are I many ay stealing. When Disney needs to raise prices again due to the cost of the bands this will start a uproar among some of these people.
Maybe I was just taught different from my family growing up not to cheat and lie
