FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Quick Question: if we miss our first fp, and use the next two, are we able to grab a 4th fp?

Normally yes. Sometimes FP's don't fall off when they expire which would then not allow additional FP's until a 3rd is used.

 

[donaldanddaisy]

Ok, this may be the dumbest question but I just want to make sure I understand - I keep reading about constantly refreshing - that basically just means going into the app and seeing what else is available, right? So if I have, let's say, my 4th FP selected, I just hitting modify and then search to see if something else that I would rather have is available? And you just do this constantly to try to grab something you want. Right?

 

[Rivergirl2005]

Normally yes. Sometimes FP's don't fall off when they expire which would then not allow additional FP's until a 3rd is used.

so if it doesn't fall off how would I use a 3rd fp?

 

[JETSDAD]

You would modify it to a different FP and use that FP (or cancel and add another). If you are at MK or are looking at booking something the same tier as the ride you missed that's essentially the same as adding a 4th. It really only becomes an issue if that FP was a tier 2 ride and you're wanting to add a tier 1 ride as the system will require you to complete another tier 2 ride prior to adding the new tier 1.

Just Cancel it and rebook a new FP#3.

If you don’t really need it and are trying for a Tier 1, book a new FP#3, scan it at the FP touchpoint and walk away. Then book FP#4.

Perfect! Thank you

Yes. Keep selecting between times that are close to the actual time and see what pops up.

If anything pops up that is earlier than your booked time slot, grab it, Confirm, and start the Modifying again if necessary.

Just wanted to confirm what many others are saying. My FP window opened today, and FOP was not available until the 4th day into the trip and only from early afternoon on. The first three days were gone. Later in our trip 6 days + it was wide open.

I have a question for the experts. How hard/inconvenient is it to get into the Rivers of Light show without FP? My party won't do the River Rapids ride or Everest, so I am not worried about those FPs. So we have our FOP and the Safari ride. I am torn between booking the Lion King show, in the AM so we can get a 4th FP in the afternoon after FOP. But I know we all want to see the Rivers of Light show, so wasn't sure about the best way to go?

We attended the late show and you did not need a fast pass at all.... I think the early show is more booked, but I was told you dont need a FP at all.. there are FP entrances and non FP entrances. Hope that helps... maybe someone else has more experience and can chime in.

Do they currently do fast passes for fireworks or parades in MK? I’m seeing conflicting info.

Newbie here planning first trip. Thanks to all who contribute - there is so much to learn!

We are staying at B resort for the later part of our trip, and off site earlier- visiting the parks before we check in at the B. It wasn’t clear to me from these boards if I would be able to make fast passes on the days before we are checked in at the B. This morning was 60 days before check in and i logged in and was able to make FPs for 60-1 and 60-3. Not able to get SDMT or FOP but not surprised about that.

So maybe I misunderstood, or maybe these FPS will get cancelled, but for now I do have FPs using the 60day window for dates prior to checkin. Does that sound right?

 

[hiroMYhero]

Does that sound right?

to DISboards, Kippycamper!

Yes; your FP booking window opened correctly for an offsite to onsite Split Stay. All those FPs remain intact...enjoy the rest of your planning!

Suggested Priorities By Park

These rankings are meant to be an objective list of which FP selections have the potential to save the most guests the most time under most conditions. These recommendations are the same at any time of year and in all crowd conditions. They do not account for any guest’s personal preferences.

Ranking System

A - Using FP here will usually save the most time as compared to the attraction's average standby wait.
B - Using FP here will usually save some time as compared to the attraction's average standby wait.
C - Using FP here will usually save little time as compared to the attraction's average standby wait.

Attractions listed within the same priority class are in alphabetical order and do not indicate priority within the class.

Tiering and show FP types are explained below the list.

Parks With FP Tiering

In Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom, FP attractions are divided into two groups, also known as tiers. Guests are able to make up to one selection from Group 1, and up to two selections from Group 2. Alternatively, guests can also make all three selections from Group 2 if desired.

A second Group 1 attraction in the same park can be scheduled only as a 4th FP or beyond. In other words, scheduling less than 3 FPs for a day in a tiered park is not a shortcut to getting a second Group 1 FP in the same park faster.

Guests participating in the FP+ Pilot Program (additional fee and room requirements apply) are not subject to these tiering limitations for their 3 additional FPs only. Note that these additional FPs can only be scheduled by calling Disney, not by using MDX. Tiering rules still apply to the already-included 3 FPs for any WDW guest.

Attractions With Scheduled Times (Shows)

Reserved Area - Indicates an exclusive section for use by guests with FP. This type of FP has moderate value in terms of saving time but does secure preferred viewing. The “worth” of this type of FP is highly subjective.

Separate Access - Indicates guests with FP are allowed into the general show area shortly before or at the same time (via a separate queue) as standby guests. This type of access has little value in terms of saving time or securing preferred viewing.

Will these tiers be updated with the new Toy Story Land info?

Will these tiers be updated with the new Toy Story Land info?

Once independently confirmed, yes. So far everything I’ve found regarding this new info points back to a single source.

Awesome. That’s why I love it here so much. Thank you!

Can you also point me to the confirmed height requirements information on disboards

This question seems to be answered in the opening set of posts; however, I've seen conflicting information around the forums and even in this thread.

If I'm staying on site for the duration of my ticket, can I book ALL my fast passes at 60 days out from the first day of the stay, or do I have to book them rolling day by day. For example, if 60 days from today is the Monday of day one of my stay and I'm staying on site Monday thru Friday, can I book my Friday fast passes today too, or can I only book Monday...and then tomorrow Tuesday's, and so on?

I know this is a very basic question; I just want to be sure since I've seen conflicting information.

Thanks,

You'll be able to book FPs for every day of your trip once you are 60 days out from the first day of your stay.

 

[hiroMYhero]

Yes.

Just disregard “rolling” as it applies to the booking window AFTER you finish booking for your complete stay. It’s what onsite to offsite Split Stay guests use to book for offsite park days.

Can I fast pass the same attraction as long as there are different windows?

 

[jjjones325]

Can I fast pass the same attraction as long as there are different windows?

No, not for the same day. Once you've used up 3, you can repeat attractions as a 4th, 5th, etc FP, but can't pre-book the same attraction.
