Here it is - Announcement re More FP+ Beginning 4/28

Not at all. I saw all the FP+s in her MDE profile and saw them get on every ride.

CMs have the ability to add as many FP+s to your account as they wish, and apparently, not just the ones inside the park or in the Help Center.

They've done the work-around for me before when DH's AP wasn't registering properly and he was only getting 4 days worth of FP+s when I was planning our trips.

What does your friend look like?

Are you sure those FP weren't compensation for something? 7 or 8 FP+ is extreme, and I've only ever heard numbers like that when something has gone wrong. Your friends might have also just encountered a really awesome CM.

I definitely think that this was the case. Just a really nice CM trying to make a guest feel taken care of. And she wasn't even complaining or anything. Just asked for help setting up her FP+ times and the CM just did all the extra stuff.

Throughout this whole thing I haven't seen a single report of a club level guest getting FP+ treatment like that solely because they were club level. I don't think there's anything clear about it, majority of guests aren't getting special treatment (concerning FP+) in the parks if they're staying club level, yet.

This was the first example I'd seen of it. They aren't AP holders or DVC, but they do go 3 or 4 times a year. Maybe they've just been good guests and have that little gold star in their profile.
I'm the opposite -- lol -- I've got the red X and they make me wait hours past check-in to get my room assignment, etc. lol

You know, that it a totally legit question.

She doesn't look like Gisele. She's not a celebrity. She isn't some flashy, wealthy entitled person.

She's just a normal mom of two young kids, polite and nice. Soft spoken. Sincere. She'd never stand out in a crowd.

Nice manners (and a little luck) will get you very far at Disney.

Just caught up with the threads from earlier this evening.

Sounds like it is good news about the additional FP+!
It works, there's a lot of flexibility around it (changing time, park hopping), and if you're on a day with availability, you can get FP+ for some of the high demand or Tier 1 rides. I like it!

I am happy for any additions/enhancements to the FP+ system.
Three cheers!
