Correct. Even though there is no possession, plural abbreviations are supposed to have apostrophes.
Seeing as the proper name from Disney is FP+ (even though there's no FP any more..) the name should be FP+. And its plural should be FP+'s .... :rolleyes1
The correct use of 'its' is a very common misuse of the good old apostrophe ( it's)..

EDIT: I'm glad I didn't write:

Not according to Oxford:

Apostrophes and plural forms

The general rule is that you should not use an apostrophe to form the plurals of nouns, abbreviations, or dates made up of numbers: just add -s (or -es,if the noun in question forms its plural with -es). For example:

euro euros (e.g. The cost of the trip is 570 euros.)

pizza pizzas (e.g. Traditional Italian pizzas are thin and crisp.)

apple apples (e.g. She buys big bags of organic apples and carrots.)

MP MPs (e.g. Local MPs are divided on this issue.)

1990 1990s (e.g. The situation was different in the 1990s.)

It's very important to remember this grammatical rule.

There are one or two cases in which it is acceptable to use an apostrophe to form a plural, purely for the sake of clarity:

you can use an apostrophe to show the plurals of single letters:

I've dotted the i's and crossed the t's.

Find all the p's in appear.

you can use an apostrophe to show the plurals of single numbers:

Find all the number 7’s.

These are the only cases in which it is generally considered acceptable to use an apostrophe to form plurals: remember that an apostrophe should never be used to form the plural of ordinary nouns, names, abbreviations, or numerical dates.
 
Plural acronyms DO NOT have apostrophes. Unless you're talking about something that belongs to the FP, it should be FPs. If you're talking about multiple doctors, it's MDs. Many points of view, POVs. Multiple recorded movies, DVDs. An apostrophe is used in a contraction or to show possession.

Oxford? Who made them lords of the English language???
 

FP's is perfectly correct usage.
 
/
Also, "Three Mustangs and five Taurus's available at this price."
And, "A street race between four GTO's and two XS's ended in a massive wreck."
 
FP's is perfectly correct usage.

The proper plural of Member of Parliament is MPs.
The proper plural of Compact Disc is CDs.
So the proper plural of Fast Pass is FPs.
If MPs does not use an apostrophe, why would FPs?
 
Attention Grammar Nerds: it's FP-.

Thank you. That is all.
