Question about fastpasses

[FSU Girl]

I was wondering if anyone would know how to solve this dilemma I have. Right now I have fast passes booked for animal kingdom one day and Epcot on a different day. I want to switch these days now, but it won't let me look and see if there are any good fast passes left for either park. Is there a way I can see what is available without having to cancel my fast passes to do it? I made all of them at 60 days out so I'm guessing there won't be as good as what I have, but if I could just see what is available I could make a decision that way.

If that's not possible, could someone else check for me? May 22 - Animal Kingdom fast passes, May 25 Epcot Fast passes.

I can't check 5/22 for you since I have some reserved that day. Epcot on 5/25 is showing Soarin starting at 12:40, Test Track at 12:15 and nothing for Frozen.

Thank you! My boyfriend loves Soarin so he would be really upset if I gave up that fast pass without being able to get it back.

On may 22 at AK, party of two...no ROL. EE available after 12:10 and Kil Safari after 1:35. Lots open for other rides there. Have fun!

Thank you! I made the switch. You guys are awesome!

Glad you were able to do that!

I was thinking of your original question and could only come up with a couple workarounds:
1. Have an AP holder that doesn't have 7 days reserved and none on the date you want checked. (I know I fell into that category, but only for your second date...I'll be at Epcot on the 22nd.)
2. If you have another ticket that hasn't been used, set up a dummy DME account and transfer it there. There you could check FP times without having to grab any, then you could transfer the ticket back to your account in the future.
The first option is definitely easier, I think.

I would think at some point in the evolution of FP+ and DME, what you were trying to accomplish should be possible. What it might take is a feature to split the original 3 FP's for the day across more than one park. I would think that could at least happen for those holding park hoppers and AP's. Adding the 4th FP on the app hasn't been around too long...maybe this will be next.

I hope they add that feature eventually. Being able to come to this board was so helpful! I unfortunately don't know anyone else with an annual pass besides me and my boyfriend and we both were on the fast pass. The system really doesn't allow a way to find a way to just check, which I think it should. Like if you want that one in another park you have to give up your current three or something.

You can. OP can check too
You just go in as if you want to switch FP.
MDE will alert you that you have FP for a different park and to confirm you want to continue
You do this and then can see the FP available in the other park.
If you don't want to switch just back out/close page
If you want to switch, pick new FP and confirm
It isn't until you confirm that you replace existing FP

That's good. I had thought if you even wanted to look at a park switch you had to wipe out your slate of FP's for the day. Still pretty convoluted...

Nope, won't wipe them out until you confirm a change. I use it all the time

Thanks! I didn't know that. I saw that pop up and got scared I was about to lose all my fast passes.

Don't feel bad, just about everyone thinks that. I wish they made it easier/clearer on how to look around. Maybe one day
