FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

[subtchr]

It's correct in the fact that you can book for Friends and Family, but the tickets aren't valid for them until they check in. 3 different check in days = 3 different FP windows. Say today was the FP day for family1; then tomorrow family 1 could make FPs for Family 1 and Family 2 and any days beyond that overlap. Then the day after Family 1 could make FPs for Family1, 2, and 3, and any days beyond that overlap.

Thanks!

Is it any different if the families do not have package tickets?

Say all three families bought tickets separately, with the first date all on family 1’s checkin day?

The umbrella function still works so with separately linked tickets, once the window is open, FPs can be booked for those with date-based tickets.

What is the earliest time of day FP+ can be booked? Not when the window opens, I know that is 7am 60 days prior for me...but the actual times available to book for a given day. For a 9am open is it 9am? 9:05?

Whatever time the park opens (not including EMH).

Hi all
Apologies as I am sure this has already been covered but just want to get my planning right as we are going in that wonderfully busy time of Christmas!
I have 2 bookings - 20 December Beach Club for 6 nights and then 29 December BCV for 6 nights (3 nights in the middle off site) our tickets are UK ultimate so valid for the whole trip.
If I am right I think I can book at the 60 day mark for whole of the first trip but then have to wait for the 60 day mark at the start of the second stay?

Family of 5 from North Central CA. Sometime in the next year or two we will be visiting WDW. I've considered canceling our current summer plans and going this year, but that probably won't happen.

FP+ is a bit confusing. This thread is nearly 300 pages long, I've read all of the initial info posts a couple times. We would do a split stay partly in a Disney property and partly in a timeshare. I was looking today and saw that if we went at the end of June and booked a stay at a Disney property we could make cancellations and changes through May 21 with no financial penalty. This surprised me because that is past the 60 day FP window. What would happen if we booked our trip and FP now and then made changes to our hotel dates? I would think we would lose any FP made for days we dropped, but what about the days we keep? For example if we booked June 16 to 29 but later changed either the first or second week to our time share (depending on availability) would we lose ALL FP or just those of the week we dropped?

 

[hiroMYhero]

would we lose ALL FP or just those of the week we dropped?

Just FPs from the dropped days as soon as Disney begins canceling FPs from Canceled Room Reservations.

Thank you. That is what I thought, but I was worried they would cancel all.

I'm sad, but I think I know what the answer to this question will be. DH had an accident this weekend and will require surgery on his leg on Friday, exactly 2 weeks from our Ft Wilderness trip with our travel trailer. While he says he's totally fine lying around taking it easy while I hit the parks to meet friends, it's the setting up and breaking down the camper that I'm not sure he can do and not sure I can do it either on my own. If I can try and switch us to a regular hotel room on site, will I lose all my fast passes? We are meeting friends and I booked them all, I don't want to lose everyone's FPs! So sad, but sort of playing it by ear until at least Friday and see how the procedure goes.

 

[hiroMYhero]

No; you won’t lose your FPs even if you decided to stay at an offsite location.

 

[wdw_dine_junkie]

No; you won’t lose your FPs even if you decided to stay at an offsite location.

But I booked them at 60 days out, I thought the whole change recently to FP was you will lose your FPs if you cancel, or even switch resorts?

No one testing this has lost FPs especially when within the 30-day window - onsite or offsite.

 

[Katrina Y]

Yes. See the FP FAQ ADDENDUM for park hopping tips.

I can’t find this, can you help me?

For fastpassing the same day, in parks, does anyone notice whether using Disney's Wifi is faster or using their own data.

Also, the last time we went, there were some rides where we would lose wifi after being so far in the ride, obviously. Under the Sea, Frozen, Pirates to name a few, I believe. Rides like that. Would I have better luck on my own data or Disney's Wifi. Guess i'll just try both, but was just curious what other people experienced.

I jump back and forth between using the wifi and using data depending on how well the wifi is working. If the wifi is decent I'll just use that...if it starts to go slow, then I switch to data. There will be some spots that neither will work (or work well).

Hi

I am hoping someone can answer this question regarding linked accounts and fast passes. My daughter and her family are staying onsite and they have created an account and have linked my husband and I. We are staying off-site. When it comes time to select fast passes, will my husband and I have to wait for the 30 day mark or will we be able to book with our daughter at the 60 day mark? She has added us to her account. Thanks for any info.
