So let me get this correct? (FP+)

[agame2323]

If you stay offsite you're only allowed to use the legacy FP system. And if you stay onsite you receive FP+ which allows you to select the time and date for the attraction you would like to go on. However, you only get 3 FastPasses each day?

Is this correct?

1- If you stay offsite you're only allowed to use the legacy FP system.

2- And if you stay onsite you receive FP+ which allows you to select the time and date for the attraction you would like to go on.

3- However, you only get 3 FastPasses each day?

1- There is no legacy FP system at all anymore.
2- Not exactly that.
3- Yes.

ALL off-site guests now have access to DAY-OF, IN-THE-PARK, FP+.
Guests can walk to one of many in-park kiosks and choose 3 FP+ for that day.
3 FP+ per day, one park only.

 

[agame2323]

No

Okay. What don't I have correct?

Offsite guests also use FP+. The difference is that you cannot book FP+ ahead of time. You would book your three FP+ in the park. Legacy FP is no more.

The legacy system is completely gone. Everybody gets 3 FP+ now - if you stay onsite, you can plan them up to 60 days in advance, I believe, and if you stay offsite, you go to a kiosk and choose them when you get to the park.

Offsite guests who have previously been onsite and thus have MagicBands/cards attached to their account can use that account to make FP+ reservations prior to their stay.

However, the account still has to have a valid admission media attached, whether it's an annual pass or a MYW pass.

3 FP+ per day, one park only.

Still unclear just how it works, but guests who have arranged their FP in advance can also reserve additional same-day FP.

I did it last week, and it appears that the additional FP may have to be in a different park, and it appears they may have to come *after* the pre-booked passes.

Perhaps more DISers can experiment with this, to see what does and doesn't work as far as getting more than three.

How did you book your additional FP+, at a kiosk or on your own through MDE?

I'm thinking this is not correct.

wow never heard that before. That sounds neat

And, since virtually none of us has heard of it before,
and some of us are here just about every single day reading FP+ reports, it does seems a bit "unusual."

(What is NOT "unusual" is a glitchy MDE system.)

Well, that test is easy enough to do. When my pass expires this weekend, I can link one of the MYW passes I have in my safe and try it out.

Here's the report from last Wednesday, which was in the midst of a rather low signal/noise thread:

I can assure you that the events in the report actually happened.

Sounds good, cigar.

But, you didn't actually complete the reservation, so you have no idea whether the system would actually give you one or not, right?

I remember that thread, but I also remember that the substance of what did and didn't work got lost in some of the usual back and forth about the pros and cons of FP+.

Now that all of the parks are offering FP+ with no paper FP, it would be interesting to have someone try the following:

1. Make advance FP+ reservations for one park in the morning and use at least one of them. (If you don't use any of them you definitely can, or at least could when I was there, make reservations at a different park, either through the app or at a kiosk).
2. Go to a second park in the afternoon and tap your MB at a kiosk to see if it will allow more FP+ reservations.
3. If it doesn't work, try tapping a card, like an AP card or KTTW card to see what happens.

I would also like to see an offsite guest who gets FP+ reservations through an in park kiosk at one park see what happens when he/she then goes to a second park and does the same thing.

Actually, I do have a fairly good idea.

When I tried it with the app, it rejected the attempt without even offering the reservation. When I did it later at the kiosk, I cleared that hurdle. While this doesn't provide mathematical certainty, it does give me a pretty good idea.
