I'm officially a convert to FP+

[DSNY4ever]

Okay I haven't paid attention much to FP+ since our trip last September (and I didn't like FP+ at all, it did not work for our family). But has it changed? You can get unlimited fast passes now or something? How have you gotten so many, for some reason I thought I heard they took they were phasing the old fast pass kiosks out already...is this not the case yet?

I am hoping it has improved since we went...but then again a lot of what I hated was all the planning so far ahead and having to learn so much about how it works. I just want to vacation.

Yes, you can now get unlimited once you've used your initial three.

And the kiosks are not the same as the old machines you used to get paper fastpasses from, they're new.

Someone pointed out on page 2 that I'd only listed two initial fastpasses - apologies, Peter Pan was also FP.

My general strategy has been FP 9-10am, another 10-11am and the third 11-12. The most popular headliner first of the FPs. I ride another headliner at rope drop and then use the first FP at the very end of its window, followed by second FP right at the start of its window, then try to move the third up on my phone. The day I listed was atypical because of having breakfast booked (not my choice!)

It's a good strategy for the tiered parks particularly because it maximises your chances of getting a second tier one FP as your fourth.

If you get one and it's for quite late, keep checking on the app - earlier times open up as others swap/cancel

~Wow, this is just fabulous! I'm truly in awe of how you've mastered this system so quickly!

It's a lot different actually. Before if I got off BTMRR and wanted a space FP, I had to walk all the way from frontier land to tomorrow land. Now I have to walk about ten metres to a kiosk and can book whatever I want, wherever it is in the park. I agree it will be better from the phone, but it's still an improvement over (for example). The commando day in Disneyland where I walked over 26km in a day.

And yes, the initial three requires planning, but after that, it's no extra planning from what legacy fastpass required. Less, if anything.

I totally love fp+! I really can't wait to get back to Disney. Again, thank you so much for sharing this!

Are you suggesting that during the busiest times of the year touring WDW may be harder than a low crowd time and you might not get to ride as many rides and even may have to wait longer for some rides.

Wow - what a new concept! This must be the first time this has ever happened!

~LOL. This is just too funny.
