FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

[corrieaw]

When your FP Booking window opens for Stay#1, you’ll be able to book for Stay#1’s Length of Stay - this includes the first day of Stay#2 (offsite).

For the rest of the offsite Stay#2, you’ll be able to book 60 days out from each park day.

For the last day of Stay#2, you’ll also be able to book for the onsite Stay#3’s Length of Stay.

You don’t have to book daily for Stay#2; you can just wait until you are 61 days out from Stay#3 and complete all the FP Booking for the offsite days + the last 2 onsite days.
And,

to DIS!!

Thank you!

Isn't there a FP for the MK fireworks? If so, where and what is it like?

No FPs for fireworks because the Fireworks Dessert Party Guests now get the premium seating.

Thanks! I just remembered seeing it in the past but never considered it.

I apologize as the answer is likely here (buried in this AWESOME) thread. But what's a single rider option? i'll be at Disney solo in February so I'm guessing this might be a great option.

Guests who enter the Single Rider lines don’t use a FP. Each Single Rider Guest is willing to be seated next to a Stranger/Guest wherever they are directed by a CM to fill the ride vehicle.

Some groups choose the Single Rider line rather than wait in a Standby line which may be substantially longer time-wise.

So if I'm in between Fast Pass reservations this might save me some time getting on to rides in the mean time.

There's only three rides at WDW that offer it though - Test Track, Expedition Everest and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster.

Is that for Magic Kingdom only? Do the other parks have it?

Test Track is in Epcot, Expedition Everest is in Animal Kingdom and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is in Hollywood Studios. No rides at Magic Kingdom offer it.

The important information is in the first 10 posts - you don't need to read the whole thread.

This will be our first trip that isn't booked through Disney (trying to save a little $ this time). If I make reservations for a Disney on site hotel via an outside vendor (TripAdvisor, Orbitz, etc) and purchase tickets from another vendor (MouseSavers, etc), how/when do I get my Magic Band? And how do I link the tickets to the band so I can book FP? Sorry if this is obvious - I looked for the answer but didn't see it.

You’ll link your resort reservation and your tickets to your MDX account.

After everything is linked, the MagicBands that you’ll customize in your MDX account will be sent to your home before your trip. These MBs are linked to your MDX account where your tickets and booked FPs are linked.

The MBs will open your room door and will allow you entry into the parks and FP lines based on their linkage to all your data in MDX.

 

[Magic_Man]

If a guest has more resort days booked than ticket days in the MDX account, the FPs can be scheduled on any days during the stay. For example, if a guest has a 5-day stay from Monday to Friday but only 3 days of tickets, FPs can be scheduled on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Can you tell me how the booking window would work in this situation? We have a 4-day stay beginning on a Saturday but we have only purchased a one day Value ticket for our visit. Thus, the ticket can only be used to enter a park on Monday or Tuesday. Since I cannot use my Value ticket on Saturday, will my booking window still begin 60 days prior to my Saturday arrival? Or will my booking window begin 60 days prior to the first day that I can actually use my ticket? Thanks for your help.

 

[hiroMYhero]

will my booking window still begin 60 days prior to my Saturday arrival?

Yes. The opening of your FP Booking window is based on your check-in date.

The MDX system knows your reservation dates and the window fully opens from check-in through checkout.

Thanks. I'll mark my calendar accordingly.

ahh ... gotcha. sort of just like a bonus one.
thanks all, this helps!

That actually happened to us. We had a FP for Test Track and it went down so they gave us an anytime FP. We ended up using it on Mission Space right away and TT opened later up so we were still able to do it.

We booked our stay through Undercover Tourist last year because the rate at AKL was hard to pass up. We got our MB's around the same time we would've gotten them had we booked through Disney. The only thing I will add is that we only got the MB's and not the luggage tags. It wasn't a big deal for us because we already had some, but it's good information to know anyway.
