I'm hoping Disney has held some back and will release more opening day FP's at 30 day mark

There is no evidence they have ever done this before.

I definitely believe that Disney does not release everything all at once, whether it be FP, Free Dining, Room Discounts etc. Wishing you luck ...

I've watched how FPs work closely for years (sadly). Just sayin'.

Not sure what this means now but I just went to my FP login and this came up, this is the page for AP sign up that I first saw the night before it was announced and then used the next morning to get mine...maybe they are releasing some more? It has been saying this event is full lately.

The Wait Is Almost Over!

You'll be able to keep them based on your true onsite stay.

Once the room is cancelled, don't those "orphaned" fast passes disappear after about 24 hours? The window for the "real" stay won't yet be open at that point, so aren't the FP "in jeopardy"?
(I did read the entire FP FAQ thread, but that doesn't mean I still remember all the obscure permutations!)

I'm wondering that too..
I'll still sign in Wednesday AM (which is my FP day) and maybe make new ones if available at the times I want to be safe!
I'm trying for evenings and there were lots available so there should still be availability.

We come back May 9th and are going again in late July.
Is it crazy I'm considering going Memorial Day week for 3 nights just for Pandora? Lol.
We have APs and live 6 hours away.

Not crazy. My wife and I have AP's, live seven hours away, and are doing this exact thing.

It's said that since the day they came out. After it was posted on here it was full my wife say her email invite and I said to just click it and see what happens. It showed the same thing and said wait was 2 min, don't refresh, etc.. Then after about 10 seconds loaded and said it's full

FPs disappear when ticket entitlements don't match up. FPs remain when onsite is cancelled unless APs act differently. Really, most people keep that onsite room until their real window opens.

Good to know. I am booking for 10 people. My booking opens up on April 4. Question about booking for that many people, will I be the only one able to make changes if I book for everyone in my party? Is this the easiest way to keep our group together, or should I have each family book their own? This is my first trip with a large group. In the past it has just been my family of 4.

I believe anyone can make changes but I'm not 100% sure about that. It is definitely the easiest way to keep your party together. We travel with my SIL and her family every time. Make sure you link all reservations to your account so that all their fastpasses open up for you to manage. Just click on link a reservation in MDE and enter their confirmation number and last name. You should then be able to see their room reservations and tickets as well as your family's. I hope that makes sense.

I'm hoping it wont be too much of a trouble to get FPs for my trip. Our dates are May 29-June 4 and I don't have a firm plan yet for what day we're going to AK. There's only two of us, if that makes a difference. Are there fast passes available during the evening extra magic hour?

No, There are never FP for EMH times

Are those the start times or the end times of the FP? I could deal with 8 as the start time but not the end time as I was planning a night back to AK to get that and a dusk Safari done. I might need to make a contingent plan.

Start times

I've seen that, doesn't really mean anything, it clicked on to the FP screen after a few moments

No, because FP are not tied to rooms, they are tied to tickets. Rooms open the ability to book but in order to book you need tickets. So as long as you have tickets, you keep your FP

No signs to indicate they've ever done this. I believe it's been confirmed by Disney many times that they do not hold back FP for 30 days or same day.

Disney has never confirmed squat as far as I know. There simply has never been a pattern of FPs opening at anything other than 60 days.

Ah, my bad. Thanks.

I couldn't find a post about this so I apologize if it has been said before. Yesterday I got a special Pandora mailing in the mailbox telling me to take advantage of "Extra" Extra Magic Hours that just Pandora will be open every night from 5/27 to 7/4 between 11pm and 1 am for all WDW Resort guests.

Yes, we have that info on the first page!

Did I hear correctly that the fastpasses are only tiered temporarily so the initial opening crowd rush doesn't overswamp the two?

There is no indication this is temporary. We shall see.

Should remained tiered, like HS or Epcot

 

[Lesverts]

Fastpasses made and Disney's website held up well. Hope everyone else had as painless an experience as I did.
