Time between fast passes?

[MeganMango]

How much time should I plan between fast passes? Can I plan them all back to back? I like being able to "plan" my rides, but I prefer to get them all around the same time frame that way I'm not tied down to a certain area for X amount of minutes or an hour between.


So if I plan 12-1, 1-2, 2-3, id be okay? It won't take me an hour and a half to get on a ride? Or to get to another one, will it? I'll be by myself so I won't have to wait for anyone!


Also, how does the kiosk work? Once I use all three, can I schedule FP at a separate park?

I do my fastpasses back-to-back and have no trouble making them.

As for the kiosk question, pretty sure it has to be in the same park you are in. Someone can back that up or correct me.

Yes, absolutely. Typically FP+ wait time will be less than 15 minutes, so you'll likely still be waiting for the start time of some of your windows.

And remember, there is about 15 minutes grace period in case you're running behind on one.

The exception would be for shows, where you want to factor in the performance length when scheduling your next attraction. Also keep in mind that the window close time for shows is usually about 15 minutes before the actual performance start time.

Yes, but you have to go to other park and get it at a kiosk in that park.

And remember -- the earlier you use them all up, the earlier you can go to a FP+ Kiosk and schedule additional FP+s (one at a time, of course...).

Yes, and no. You can get your fourth and future fast passes at the same park or at a different park if you are hopping.....BUT....the passes can only be gotten at a kiosk and you have to be in the park the ride or attraction is in. So you would have to move to the next park not even knowing if a fast pass would be available once you get there.

I always book the 3 back to back and I get to the first one towards the end of the window, catch the 2nd immediately after at the beginning of the window and then depending on which one I have 3rd, I can usually go in and move that time up so that I can ride it right after the 2nd is done. If I can't move up the 3rd, then I just fill in with another lower wait time standby attraction until my 3rd window opens up.

I noticed when making my fast passes that the times were mostly automatically back to back unless it was a show, then it was likely to automatically be made further apart in the AP.

You can move a 3rd FP into the window of the 2nd once it's been used? I had no idea. Good to know.

Yes, I have done it several times, but what my really craptastic memory doesn't recall is whether it is after the 1st or 2nd tap in the FP line. I think it's the 1st because I usually take my phone out and able to get into MDE and move the 3rd one before I'm on the actual ride. I find it comes in really handy if you have 2 attractions next to each other on FP and you want to minimize criss crossing the park between attractions.
