March/April Visitors

[wilma-bride]

I don't know if any other months are affected but tiering appears to have been removed from Epcot and Hollywood Studios for Fastpass+

I got the heads up in a Facebook group I am a member of. I have since changed my FP+ bookings and have been able to get Soarin', Test Track and Illuminations Preferred Viewing FP+ at Epcot and Toy Story Mania and Rock n Roller Coaster together at Hollywood Studios

Excellent news Joh. Let's hope it continues after that period. Although with all the changes floating around, who knows .

Fab that you have been able to get that mix of FPs

That is good news - I haven't booked anything yet for April but the will make Epcot easier

From what I've read it appears that this could be a glitch as the site is still forcing you to make tiered choices when first booking FP+, then you are able to go back in and change individual experiences and select more than one from the 'top' tier.

Glitch or not, I'm happy while it lasts.

Excellent news, hope they keep the lift on the tiering for FP+...

I just updated the app on my iphone and been able to book FP for our first day on 6 May, at 12 weeks out. Quite excited. I booked for Epcot but it is showing tiered for me.

Can someone explain what is meant by tiering.
Also I just looked for fast pass but was not available under 60days.

Just tried to book for the next day and its defaulting to Epcot again when I tried to pick Animal Kingdom but it has allowed me to book 3 FP again.

On my ipad its not even showing my hotel reservation now!

Just read your post again Wilma and gone in and changed my FP on the first day to Soarin. Living with the Land and Illuminations.

It appears I'm destined to spend my two weeks at Epcot as that is the only park it will select when I put in my holiday dates. The app has at least updated my reservations on my ipad now but when I try to pick 3 x FP for the third day it defaults again to Epcot.

Ah well an interesting half an hour and now I know what to expect at 60 days.

Janet, for the last few weeks 'tiering' has been in place at Epcot and Hollywood Studios meaning that when you book FP+ you can only select one attraction which is designated as a headliner. At DHS, headliners include Fantasmic!, Rock n Roller Coaster and Toy Story Mania so, previously, the system would only allow you to choose one of those.

It appears that now you have to choose only one headliner when you first select FP+ options but you can later go back in and amend your other options to headliner attractions also.

As far as FP+ being available at less than 60 days, it generally isn't. It does appear that edinburghlass has been able to book Epcot at more than 60 days out but normally you can't book FP+ until 60 days before your arrival day.
