How do I change Fastpass?

[michelle06]

I posted before that FP+ wasn't offering me many times. I think I've figured out that it will not offer me any times that conflict with anything else. So if I have a FP from 10-11, it won't offer me any times from 10-11. I know others have said they were able to get overlapping times. How do you do this? I want to change a time for a ride, but don't want to give up another FP without first knowing if those times are available. I'm finding that unless I make major changes, it is not going to offer me any other times. Does anyone know how to get around this?

I have done the basics - tried to change time for one ride, tried rearranging my "priorities" for the 3 I picked. It won't let me overlap! Basically, if I have a fastpass for 11-12 and another fro 12-1, it won't let me have any other times until after 1pm. So frustrating. I've played with it enough to know the times are there, it just won't offer them to me.

I don't think you can have overlapping times. The system is designed so you have one FP+ at a time. If people have overlapping times they must be utilizing a glitch or hiccup in the system that I don't know anything about. Sorry.

Also, you may need a good deal of time between fastpasses. Some of the FP+ lines are taking a good 20 or so minutes to go through.

I just arrived home from a week at WDW. I'm not sure that what others are saying about overlapping times and what you are wanting are the same thing. My experience was that sometimes I had members of my group who had times that overlapped so that they could ride at the same time with FP+ at different intervals. But, each member of the group could not have any times that overlapped with their other FP+ windows.

To arrange things more tightly, I usually was able to align times better when I moved a low priority ride to a late evening time to get it "out of the way." Then I could scedule the other two back-to-back fairly easily. Once that was done, I was then able to move the low priority ride to a time either just prior to or just after the other two. I did this on two days without more tha a 10-minute gap between any two rides.

The overlapping times that I had on my account were when I would have two people with times that overlapped with each other, not with their other FPs. For example, I had a ToT time of 10:00-11:00, while DD had one of 10:10-11:10. It gave me her time when I tried to copy mine to hers. I hope this makes sense. I don't think it is possible to have the FPs overlap on the same account.

Hope its ok to chime in with a question myself....This whole fastpass+ thing has me a little freaked out! lol.....We are going the 2nd week of June...Ive been on the site and reserved some passes, but frankly I hate that we can't just be a bit more spontaneous.

What are everyone's thoughts about just waiting till we get to the parks and getting our passes then like we use to? Will we have a problem getting them?

I don't do well with change! hee hee

Thank you, both. Ok, so no overlapping times for the same person. What I am trying to do is do all my FW items in Epcot before 11am. Then head over to WS. Wanted to do 3 FP in two hours. We only want to do those 3 things, so it may just work out to do something standby. Due to a lunch reservation, we don't want to have to go all the way back to FW and then again back to WS after lunch. We are planning the bulk of our time in WS and don't want to do much in FW.

The paper fastpasses are gone, you can't get them like you used to. You could go to the kiosks, but availability will be limited especially for the popular attractions.

We had a similar situation this trip. We ended up doing 2 in the morning, and booked the third for late in the day. So, FW for 2 hours, two rides with FP+ and one stand-by, then WS for the bulk of the mid-day, then one more FP+ in FW on our way out the door.
