FP+ questions

[guacgirl]

I've only ever used FP+ once a couple years ago when they were still testing it, so I apologize for the newbie questions.

First question, will the system allow me to reserve two fastpasses for the same ride (same person). For example, when we go to AK, my kids would like to do the safari twice.

Next question, at AK, if we use a fastpass for Lion King, what does that mean exactly? What time will it ask us to arrive? I would like to attend the 10a show but do not really want to (or think we can) get there earlier than 9:45a. What about a fastpass at Flight of Wonder show? What does that mean too?

Lastly, what is the 4th FP that I have read about? How do we acquire this?

Thanks so much!

No you have to choose 3 different attractions

FP for this will enter first. FP time is usually about 20 minutes instead of a hour, the closer to the end time, the further back in the line. Others may be able to tell you if a FP is really necessary for Lion King at 10 AM.

Lastly, what is the 4th FP that I have read about? How do we acquire this?

Once you have complete all 3 FP's you can select a 4th at that park (at a kiosk). If you go to another park you can select one there but you must wait until you are inside the park and use a kiosk for the additional FP

Thanks so much!

Thanks for all the information! Wow, so normally the wait is 1 hour if you don't have the FP for either Lion King or Flights of Wonder? So it sounds like it would be worth it to use a FP for both of these shows?

What I meant was that a FP usually gives you an hour window to show up and use. The window for the shows I believe is about 20 minutes to be able to use. Sorry for the confusion. I will let others explain better!

Oh I see. I guess if we can't duplicate rides and there isn't anything else we want to use the FP on, it doesn't hurt to reserve it for one of the shows then. I wonder which one is better use, Lion King or Flights of Wonder.

We did AK last year and didn't FP and honestly I don't know that you have to get one.

The seating arena is pretty open and you can see the entire show from any angle. Maybe with the FP you get to be in the front rows but if you have other rides you'd like to ride I'd not waste one esp at 10am.

Best use of FP+ for a show at DAK is Finding Nemo the Musical.
