FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

[marciemi]

Hi all! I have a question. We have three Epcot FPs for one day in July.
2:00 - 3:00 Nemo
Gap for dinner
7:30 - 8:30 Test Track
830 - 9:00 (park closing) Spaceship Earth
Some guesswork is involved in my question here, but assuming that things could work out this way:

Let's say we skip our Nemo Fastpass (this is possible since it's checkin day). We ride Test Track right at 7:30, and let's say I go to edit our Spaceship Earth FP to be at 8:00 instead of 8:30. We go ride Spaceship Earth at 8:00 or 8:05, right after TT. As soon as I tap into Spaceship Earth, would I be able to get a Soarin FP, assuming some are available? Or not, because I haven't technically used 3 FPs already since we skipped Nemo and it's in the same tier as TT?

Technically, yes, you'd be able to book another Tier 1 but the odds of a Soarin' FP being available at that time (when you'd already be in the last hour window) are close to zero.

Thanks! I certainly won't count on it but at least I'll know it's worth a look

Really? Ive never heard that. So even if they are for later that day you can use them there has to be availability to use them earlier right? and then that allows you to try and get more?

You can't USE them early, but you can try to modify the time to an earlier slot.

Say I have a FP for BTMRR from 9 - 10 then Splash from 10-11 and SDMT from 11-12. If I check in for BTMRR at 9:10, I can immediately try to modify Splash for something earlier (say for 9:15-10:15). Then I can further modify SDMT to 10:15-11:15. If I check in for Splash at 9:30, I can then move SDMT to 9:40. Now I've done all 3 before 10 and can start trying for my 4th and beyond. Again, there has to be availability to do this, but it definitely shortens the windows between FPs when it works.

we have a 21 day ticket and are staying in a back to back split stay of 19 and 3 days...
so when we get to our 60 day mark, will we be able to book 14 days? 19 days? 21 days?

14 days when your window opens.

Then, with each passing day you'll be able to book an additional day of FPs until you reach your total of 21.

I don't know if this has been asked before but does anyone know if it's possible to get a day-of fastpass for Space Mountain? Is it like SUPER HARD and requires checking every 30 seconds or is it very common to book it easily?

We were able to get one yesterday after we used our first 3 scheduled FPs. It was not that hard. I may have had to do some refreshing but not very much.

If I have an existing fp for MK and I want to modify it for something in Hollywood Studios can I do that without canceling it and then picking Hollywood studios to get that other fp there? I'm not sure if we will want to hop to HS tonight instead of staying at MK I wanted to see the times for rocking roller coaster but can't figure out how to see fp availability without canceling one of my existing fp's. Thanks

edit: forget it, I figured out how to check. thanks

can i book fastpasses on my iphone and on my computer at the same time?
that is, can DD work on the computer while i'm on my iphone - both of us in the same MDE account? both of us logged into my MDE account booking simultaneously?

You know what's strange to me - I cannot seem to find a 4pm timeslot for 2 ppl for Spaceship Earth for our trip in mid-July. I've tried for over a week now. I have a later slot booked for SE but I would prefer to have it right when we enter the park so we're not backtracking, but perhaps everyone else has the same idea.

I do have another FP+ booked around that time for another attraction, but that shouldn't stop me from seeing other available options I don't think. I'll keep checking....

The FP system only shows availability for slots that aren't blocked out by other FPs. That is why you aren't seeing anything for SE.

Thank you hiro. I always thought it would show me the option and allow me to cancel my other FP, but now I will try that!

Can I use my father's magic band for fast passes even though he is not going to be in the park. It was cheaper to get him a 7 days pass even though he is only going to be there for 4 days of it. Was not sure if we could book fastpasses on it if he does not go through the entrance that day. Thanks

After June 6th, if you attempt to use his FPs when he has not entered the park, you risk having his MDE Profile locked and you won't be able to use his account at all - and neither will he.

If he has booked FPs, has not entered the park, and others have already completed using their initial 3 FPs, his FP can be moved to others by using the Change Party function.

I think I saw this question answered before, but can't seem to the post... We are a party of 8 and have a PPO ADR for Akershus. We have the first 8am slot (yayyy!) in late July. It will be DD actual birthday so we want to do what she wants. She of course wants to ride all the headliners in EPCOT that morning. If we finish up at Akershus will they let us in line for FEA before 9am rope drop? I was thinking if we can get through that quick enough we can high tail it to do TT standby, then use our Soarin FP. We then plan on doing seas w/ nemo and turtle talk (to get through our tier 2s), and then try to get another FP for TT. Does this seem like a good plan? TIA!!!

 

[hiroMYhero]

Does this seem like a good plan? TIA!!!

Yes; it's the main reason why people book ADRs for Akershus.

I have a somewhat stupid question but want some clarification just in case! I am going to be able to make our fast passes at 4am PST. But when I log on now (I know I am still at 61 days from August 1st) the calendar only shows until July 1st in blue? Does this mean at 4am when I go on to make them my fast passes for August 1st will be good to go? It is just weird it is not showing 60 days from today as a selection, but a whole month back. We are staying at the BWV so I know we have a 60 day window like we did last year. I am just a little confused and do not want to wake up that early for nothing! Thank you!

Your window magically opens up at exactly 7am EST. You will only see 30 days in advance until you are exactly 60 days before your arrival day. Good luck!

Okay awesome, thank you! Hopefully waking up at 4am is worth it all, we have so many that we are really hoping for!

For onsite guests with a room-only reservation, the 60-day prebooking window will not appear until the 60-day mark, assuming valid tickets are attached to the account. Before this point only a 30-day window (from the current day) will be active, again assuming valid tickets are attached to the account. It is possible to practice booking FPs using this 30-day window.
