FastPass+ Basic Info, Suggested Priorities, And Strategies--Part II

[wilma-bride]

Can anyone help???

I am pretty sure I already posted our experience with this earlier in the thread but will repeat again. We arrive and check in to the Swan on 10/22, our friends who we are linked with check in to Beach Club on 10/24. At 60 days prior to our check in date (not our friends), we were able to book FP+ for our entire stay and include our friends for the days that they will be with us. So, in short, unless it has changed by the time your 60-day window rolls around, the answer is yes they will be able to book all FP+ at the same time.

Re: fastpass not showing, I verified again via MDE that on days where they are long gone, things like AE don't show as an option at all.

Am I right in reading tiering is going away? I haven't started my HS and AK research as I will need to book them after arrival and ticket upgrade.

No reason to believe tiering is going away at this point - it looks like a glitch that started with today's FP+ "upload" to the servers.

Ok. I'll stick to my original plan.
I see a lot of talk about 4th FP at MK. How is it at HS or AK? I was planning to try for extras there.

I need to use all 3 before I get a 4th. But 4-?, can they all be t1?

Agreed, I was able to get both TSM and RnR earlier today. And I could have grabbed TT and Soarin, but the timeline was not great. I jus tried to go back in, and the Tiering is back. Glad I made my changes this morning.

I was able to get a 4th FP for RNRRC at HS, so I thought this was worth it. MK obviously has many more rides so much more important there.

This morning I was able to make changes adding RnR when I already had TSM and Soarin' when I had TT. I also went back in this evening to see if I could tweak a few things and the tiers are back.

You can get anything for the 4th+, it's just subject to availability.

Yes, as mentioned in the first post under Additional/Day-Of FP+, Bullet 7.

Some attractions are easy to get at anytime, others many mot be available for hours and then the rest are simply gone.

So picking muppets for one of your first 3 FPs is probably not wise since you can grab a 4th or 5th or ... At anytime and it would be available almost immediately.

Unlike other attractions that may be available in the morning yet, but by the time your third FP is used they are gone.

Out of interest, do they release additional fast passes on the day for people to get first thing from the kiosks? So if I left a day free could I get in early and grab a good set of tickets that I was unable to get online? X

I am keeping my fingers crossed that I get in at 9pm (12EST). We have a split stay but our tickets are linked to the 2nd reservation. Thanks for all the information here, it has been really helpful!!

 

[lanie1138]

I just booked our FP+s for our stay over Christmas. I was able to book starting 60 days from our room only portion of a split stay (14 nights total).
The tiers are definitely back. A&E were not showing up initially, but if you make a FP selection, then click "change experience" it shows up. Same happened for the Frozen sing along.
Thanks again for all the helpful info, it made the process so much easier!!! Now I can finally get some sleep!!

Which ones? Using the scoring method in the first post?

Hi again
Another stupid question just to confirm the obvious.
I want to change my schedule, going to a completely different park.
So I first need to cancel the entire day's FP+ then start over picking FP+ for that day in the new park.
So if I had DHS scheduled, I cancel the whole day and then start over with AK.
Yes that must be true - just thinking out loud

I don't think so, if you are using the app go to modify fastpass and then pick replace instead of change... You'll pick the park and you'll see what available, but I don't think your previous selections get deleted until you've confirmed the new ones. You can look and the just go back. I may be wrong but that's how I was looking for different opportunities on different days and I never had to cancel what I had.

For Tomorrowland Astro Orbitor I don't see how it is ranked for FP+ in MK. Is it because there is no FP+ offered for this ride?

No FastPass+ for it, at least not yet.
