First timer to DL. We have been to WDW several times over the past dozen years. Can you tell me how Max Pass works and the differences between it and Walt Disney World's FP+. Thanks!
Yes it does....thanks!!!SO, MaxPass is basically just like the old paper FP system where you would go to a kiosk and scan your ticket to receive a ticket with a return time, except you can use your phone to pull them instead. As soon as you are scanned into the park that day you can start making FastPasses through the app at either park. Once you confirm a selection, you can get another one after a certain amount of time has passed (I do not know the exact amount of time - I think a hour) or once you use the one you made. If you do it right you can use a lot of FastPasses! You can hold several FastPasses at once, but you can't have more than one for the same attraction at the same time.Some of the most popular stuff will start to show late return times or run out completely eventually depending on how busy it is.
One note about FP at DLR is that not all rides have it at all. When WDW went to FP+ they added it to almost every single attraction. At DLR the selection is limited, mostly for the "bigger" rides. Things like Peter Pan and the other Fantasyland type stuff do not offer FP at all. Also, for shows you will still have to go to the proper kiosk and pull a paper ticket (Fantasmic!, World of Color, Frozen Live at the Hyperion). These FPs are not connected to your ride FPs and don't hinder your next selection time.
Hope that helps.
The timing to get a new FP depends on the return time for the one you just got.
If you get one that has a return time within 30 minutes, you can get a new FP either in 30 minutes, or once you use the previous one.
If you get one that has a return time in 30-90 minutes, you can get a new FP when that return time starts.
If you get one with a return time later than 90 minutes, you can get a new one in 90 minutes.
You cannot search for a new FP until you are able to “pull” a new one. So you cannot modify an existing one-either use or cancel.
We used it last weekend and it worked flawlessly. To make things easier we had 2 of our party log into my app so we could both check for attraction waits, whether or not Splash was up & running or not, we could both scan at FP kiosks and park entry too.
twice we got the *MULTIPLE EXPERIENCES* pass when attractions went down during our FP window. That is a magic FP that allows you to do any ride any time of the day.
NOTE it does not include DCA attractions if it is for s DL ride. OOPS! we beelined over to GRR to use it whaile it was still hot out but the CM kindly let us go
We had a CM kindly let us use a Multi Exp from DL on Guardians. She asked us to tell her the names of all the guardians and also explained that the multi Exp are only for the park they're issued in.We used it last weekend and it worked flawlessly.
