FP Return Times

[PrincessSarah314]

Are FP times strictly enforced or can your return anytime after the return time is listed? I know at WDW you used to be able to use them after the return window had expired, as long as it was the same day. Just wondering if we are in a show or eating when ir's our window if we can return to the ride later. TIA!

At this time, DLR FP return times are not being enforced. Feel free to return whenever you want!

Thank you! I'm not going, but my mother is taking my son out there to visit with my sister's family and my niece has decided a trip to DL is necessary to celebrate her birthday!

Spent 5 days in the parks last week....

We utilized our fast passes outside of the return times all week. On Friday, the 29th, as we were using our FP for Splash (after the return time), the CM at the head of the FP line, said "it is no problem now, but just know that we have been told we will have to start enforcing return times, but we have not been told the official start date" I talked with her about it after we rode Splash and she said she herself uses FP after the return times and was not happy about it for herself and for the fact that it will not be fun to enforce because she knows it will upset park-goers. Again said there was no confirmed start date but it will be coming. She also stated she thought that they may be enforcing them on RSR now. Not sure of that.

Not trying to start a big debate, just sharing info I received last week...

Thanks for the info on them! I was wondering the same thing. We just got back from a week in DisneyWorld in March and they were being strict about the times on them We always do the dining package and with the fp being so strict now you risk messing up your whole system of what rides to do that day! I mean even with reservations you still have to wait sometimes to be seated or the food takes a while you shouldn't have to lose your fp because of that!!!!
It is a last notice trip we just found out yesterday my husband has work in California so I am trying to pick up some quick tips we have been to DW 8 times in the past 6 years, but never to DL I am sooooo excited!!
