Only 1 Fastpass for Epcot? Am I missing something?

[jwfla422]

Ok, we are AP holders and have been to WDW every month until June, did I miss something as to why we are only allowed 1 FP for any Epcot attraction that has FP?

Epcot fp are tiered,so you can only pick one of the Tier 1 attractions, and then pick the other ones from Tier 2.

It's all about the tiered FP+. I've only been taking one Epcot FP+ because the tier 2 are usually walk ins or not my thing. Wish they would separate them around, but I know what would make getting any FP in Epcot impossible

If you allow your 2 Tier 2s to expire, you can try for another Tier 1.

The strategy is to book your Tier 2s and tap them or allow them to expire and then book another Tier 1 as soon as you enter the FP line for your booked Tier 1.

I got it now, it kind of looks like I already chose from the list where you only can pick "1" but then the times come up to choose from "other experiences"...I swear it was set up differently before. Guess I'm getting old...

I didn't even get an Option. It just said I get 1. I took test track. But I got no options for tier 2s???
Did I do something wrong?

You need to go back into the FP area and book your final 2, one at a time. You no longer book 3 at once. It's one at a time because you can book 1, 2, or 3 - the system does not force you to book all 3.

If I book only one Tier 1 FP can I then try for another Tier 1 FP just as soon as I enter the FP line for the booked Tier 1?

Unfortunately, no. The system knows you haven't used nor allowed your allottment of 3 to expire when staying in Park #1.

BUT, if you are hopping to another Tiered park, you can immediately book a Tier 1 for Park #2.

Does this apply to all of the parks?

Yes. It's the only way to book FPs.

Book your 1st and confirm. Repeat for FP #2 and then repeat for #3.

You don't have to complete booking for all 3; you can pick and choose your must-do rides and then return to finish your allotment of 3 for each park day.
