Have you ever been able to get a 4th Fastpass?

[SandyinMonterey]

I read that you can book another Fast Pass after you use your allotted 3. Tried to do this on the MDE app during my trip a few weeks ago, but it didn't work.

Is there a trick to this? Or is this just a myth?

Thanks!

Thank you. Did you book it through the app? Or did you have to go to a cast member kiosk?

I completely understand where you're coming from. During our trip Spring 2018 we had nothing but problems with getting more FP after our first 3 were used. We would use our first 3 but when we went to APP to get one, it would always say we haven't used up our first 3...which we did. I went to front desk at WL for help. She couldn't understand of fix/change anything but she did override the system and was able to give us some FP. Because of that experience, I was very nervous about our last trip (end of December 2019). But it worked better this time. If for some reason, the screen wasn't refreshing fast enough for me by still having my first 3 original FP, I would go in and physically cancel them and then start looking for additional FP. Just remember for the more popular rides like SDMT, FOP, SDS, etc...those are harder to get. I would call Disney directly and tell them your experience. They can look up what you were able to do and not do as far as rides are concerned.

We were there two weeks ago (MK) and by 11:00 am the app said that there was no fastpasses left for the day.

You have to keep trying. That is never the case, even during busy holiday weeks.

I did. It was the first time we were not able to get another fast pass. We were able to get them over Easter break. The lines were extermely long. The standby line for haunted mansion was almost to the shooting gallery.

I think it also depends on how large your party is. We’ve never had an issue when our party size has been four or smaller.

People still cancel and Disney will also released more. Just because there were none available on your first check doesn't mean there wont be more available later. That is literally the foundation of the refresh trick. Refresh until you see what you want. But the FP experts are grabbing them up within minutes(or seconds) of them coming in so you have to be refreshing too.

Totally.

When that happens to me I switch to the web browser. Works every time.

I was able to. During our afternoon break, I booked a 4th FP in MK, girls on Little Mermaid and boys on Buzz Lightyear. On another day, spent daytime in HS. During afternoon break, booked FPs in evening for Epcot, splitting up our family between Soarin, TestTrack, and FEA.

 

[marcyleecorgan]

Oh yeah we used refresh anytime we had scanned into a line for a ride and were waiting.

Sounds like most of you that are successful are at MK. I'm guessing it is much harder at HS. We refreshed and tried a lot, but none for the big name attractions, only for Indiana Jones, voyage or Muppets.

We do it at all the parks...MK just has the most options to get as FP. At HS we actually have found a lot of great options while the tiers are how they are now. Once they change it may become more difficult but we very rarely stand in any standby lines and ride all the hideliners each day (normally a party of 3 but also did the same with 7, it just takes a bit more work).

Go to Touring Plans, they have a free tool you can use to monitor cancelled reservations. Otherwise, try another restaurant, like Sci Fi or Brown Derby or what have you.

Guess I was just stupid or unlucky. Believe me my computer genius son tried all day

The MDE app will glitch at times and this happens.
I've also had the app suddenly change dates on me and then say there are no FPs available.
Otherwise, I've not had a lot of trouble modifying FPs or getting additional ones after using the first 3.
Good luck next time.

 

[princessfionasmom]

I’ve been able to get quite a few. I even got a FoP one for me, my son and his friend. I opened the app just to see what we could get and there was FoP for 5 mins away, that was like winning the lottery

Last week I was able to get ToT very easily as a 4th+ FP. Also AS2 and RnRC came up a lot.

This was a temporary glitch. If you would have gone back in, it would have shown plenty of choices. It has never happened that they were truly all gone that early in the day. I've never seen it until very close to closing time, and even then, refreshing will show a couple of unpopular choices. The system is fluid.

I rode FOP 3 times in an hour from getting multiple fastpasses after the first 3. I usually manage to ride at least 10 rides a day with fastpasses

 

[Calee]

We have gone in September, october, may and july and have been able to get 4th (and beyond) fast passes for a party of 5 every trip.

If you ever have issues with the app you can find a Guest Experience CM and they will take care of it for you.

Thanks. Are these the CM's at the kiosks I've heard about? Or do you have to trek all the way to guest services?

Wow, how were you able to make 3 FP for the same ride within an hour? I thought they didn't allow more than one in the same hour?
