I thought you couldn't mix FP between parks until you used all 3, then pick a 4th+ FP wherever you want?

This is what I thought too, unless it's recently changed. I'd I'll be so annoyed if it has as I just made all my fp choices last wk for my October trip

UGH! I have nothing useful to input here.. Just that I am SO excited to be taking my significant other to MNSSHP for their first time!

I did make my FP+ reservations between the 4-7 window but now I'm wondering if I should just use FP's for AK since we will be visiting that park in the morning and just wing it that evening and hope lines are short at the party? any advice?

You can split them up by using two at AK and save one for MNSSHP or you could use all three at AK and after you scan your last ride pull up the FP+ on your phone to get a fourth FP+ for MNSSHP.

I do not think FP+ Guidelines have changed.
See Post #2: @mesaboy2 has a great FP+ Thread --- http://www.disboards.com/threads/fastpass-frequently-asked-questions.3491680/
-Guests may preschedule up to 3 FPs per day. All 3 must be in the same park but for different attractions.

You no longer have to schedule 3 in park 1 - you now have the option of scheduling just 1 or 2. You can still only book 3 initially though. So if I book only 1 in AK, once I use it, I can book my other 2 in MK.

@Cluelyss --- Okay. But when making initial FP+ selections you still have to select all 3 in the same park.

I believe that was the concern/question--same park vs multiple parks for initial 60D/30D selections. For initial FP+ selections you have to stay in the same park.

If only book 1, then you can go to Kiosks in other park or use the MDE app for next 2 FP+.

So if only book 1, then go to Kiosks in other park for next 2 FP+, but since made changes/updates to MDE app you can now select additional 2 on app after using initial FP+ or time expiring for initial FP+???? This I can't remember. I know 4th FP+ can now be made in MDE app. Thanks!

I think what she is saying (definitely correct me if I'm wrong) is that if you choose to select three at the time that you do your FP+ selections, than you have to choose three in the same park at that time, but you could also select only 1 or 2 in a park when you first book those selections and once you are actually in the park and use that 1 or 2 (or the time for them expires), then you can select a FP+ in any park even if that is your 2nd or 3rd FP+ (because you only selected 1 or 2 to begin with). So you don't have to use 3 FP+ before selecting one in another park, but you do have to actually use or let expire the initial one(s)s in the first park before you can schedule any additional FP+ in a different park for that day.

Yes, thanks! That's why I put all of the quotes together and then edited my post. You just never know what the OP question really was or what their concern is. Then you do not want to confuse them even more. Some are already stressed on MNSSHP planning, then add FP+ selections stress, then reading all these posts, etc.--- you catch my drift. So wanted to clarify to posters in one place.

FP+ guidelines haven't changed, in that, on booking day (60D/30D), 3 FP+ for same park. However, you do not have to book 3. And so on, as stated.......

I would say a 1/3 to 1/2 are dressed up in some way. Throw a costume in the bag just in case!

Great idea. Thanks

 

[attain]

That Skirt is awesome! Totally jealousy of it!

Thank you! Seriously, it was $16 on Amazon. But, the sizes are Asian, so order 2-3 sizes up if you want it to fit. I learned that the hard way. It is comfortable!

9D Until the 1st MNSSHP!

Single digits! Woo-hoo!

Yes, sorry if I caused more confusion. The initial question was around a response suggesting to "save" a FP for MK. I was trying to clarify that issue. Your initial FP selections are still limited to 1 park, that hasn't changed. But your initial 3 can be split - you are no longer forced to use 3 in one park before scheduling additional FPs somewhere else.

Hi! So to add to all of the craziness of booking fast passes. I have another question. We arrive on Oct 31 and have tickets to the Halloween party that night, but do not have a regular park ticket. Can I start to book all my fast passes on my 60th day before? We wont be using our actual park tickets until Nov 1st. Do I have to wait until the next day to book all my fast passes for the week?
