SDFP... Here now. Works! *Read Post #48 and Post #671*

I would, but it was an attempt to get a 5th guest into the reservation for the purpose of using that as the guest to link to the other groups for the umbrella thing (so as not to delay making reservations with my primary group). I think the only way I can have an extra guest (over my family of 4) into a BWV 1 bedroom is if that 5th person is an infant (?).

You're probably right on the 5th person/infant thing.

Have you tried listing an infant and see if a ticket links up? All my extra tickets in MDE are comps so they are a little different than a regular ticket. I'll play with it a little and will PM you with findings.

Unfortunately I booked our new reservation using the MDE from our last trip because I got a UOC for that email account. DH is not traveling with us so:

1. Will I be able to use his old MB for SDFP?
2. My ticket from our last trip I guess is part of my hive so if I purchase a new MB in the park (to be linked later) and add it to my MDE using a phantom name will I be able to use that for SDFP?
3. Would it just be easier to add two children to my reservation and get MB for them? (just read more info)

Thanks for the help. I read the original thread a couple of months ago and it got shut down. I was surprised to see this thread today so I'm back on the band wagon.

1 and 3: Yes

I have 2 APs we are currently using, and 4 AP vouchers that I have assigned to phantoms. I have been able to make FP for all 6, but now, it is only letting me make addtl FP for the 2 active APs and 1 of the phantoms. It says the others have reached their FP+ allotment. Any ideas? Thanks.

Are you in the parks now trying to get a 4th or tying to book extra days from home? If the former, you may need to go to a kiosk for the 4th since those tickets/AP's aren't activated yet. I wouldn't have thought that would be the case but would recommend trying it.

I am home.

 

[marciemi]

I am home.

So are you getting caught up with the 7 day AP limit or at fewer than that? If the phantoms aren't on the room reservation you may be limited to 7 days but I can't think of any reason you wouldn't be able to get that many.

Thank you for your replies. It must be because of the 7 day limit. I am going to count when I get home tonight.

Can I ask where the SDFP+ kiosks are located? Or be directed as to where to find out? I know some have been taken away so even though I know where they USED to be, I'm not exactly sure where to head when I arrive in the parks.

Thanks! Sorry for the slightly off topic/dumb question.

Glad you asked this because I am wondering the same thing.

SDFP kiosks are the same as normal kiosks so you can ask any CM where they are. About the only ones I know that have been removed were the ones in the Circus area of New Fantasyland (and that was a LONG time ago) and the ones that used to be in guest relations at HS (if they're still there I haven't been able to find them and CM's have told me the closest location is at the intersection of Hollywood Blvd where you turn to go to ToT/RnRC). My recommendations of the closest/easiest locations would be:

1. MK - inside City Hall if they're open. They've been covered a few times I've been there recently but these are by far the least crowded/easiest. If they're covered, I'd just go to wherever you're heading first and hit the closest ones. I'd say the next least crowded ones are by Jungle Cruise. Seems like the Frontierland one (tunnel between there and Adventureland), the Philharmagic one and the ones by Stitch are always crowded.

2. Epcot. They have them in both passageways going to the East or West side of Future World and usually neither side is overly crowded any more. None in Guest Relations here. There are a couple locations in World Showcase with a random CM with a tablet and one by the International Gateway entrance, but unless you're coming in that entrance, the other two are much closer.

3. HS - as I said earlier, the one right where you walk down "Main St." usually is okay. There are two by TSMM that aren't always manned by CM's and usually have shorter lines. The ones by ToT/RnRC seem to have the longest lines.

4. AK - hope someone can add because I'm not sure I've ever found kiosks or done SDFP there.

 

[goofynut41]

just making sure everyone knows including Hiro. I was able to swipe the 4 phantoms and create 3 separate SDFP. I checked on my MDE immediately after they all were showing. But it doesn't allow you to modify it on the app. It says "need park admission" but I'll take it!

What does SDFP mean?

As far as AK goes, there was a single FP+ kiosk in Guest Relations just inside the park entrance as of a couple of weeks ago. Turn left inside the door, tucked in a corner.

Just about everything you need to know is in this original thread:

Thank you! I guess I was under the impression that some of the kiosks had been moved.

LOL .. Oh Same Day Fast Past I thought it meant Seven Dwarfs Fast Pass....

I was trying to think about it some more - I know there used to be some inside one of the shops on the right on Main St. in the MK but think that area changed and they moved a couple to City Hall - again that was well over a year ago. Similarly, at some point there were some in Innoventions in Epcot (near Electric Umbrella) but again, I'd guess that was close to 2 years ago. The ones in Tomorrowland keep changing - sometimes it's by Stitch and sometimes across the open area by Buzz and sometimes (when really crowded) both, but since you can see one from the other it's not a big deal. That's all I can think of that have changed - nothing recent other than I was fairly sure there used to be one in Guest Relations (or near there) in HS but not any more.

What time are the kiosk uncovered if there are AM EMH?
