MaxPass / Digital Fastpass - Discussion Thread

Random ?... can you pay with gift cards for Max Pass on the DL app?

I want to know this too.
Also - can you load gift cards into the Disneyland App?

It’s my understanding that you must use a credit card in the app.

I bought 2-day park hoppers w/ MP using gift cards, but I must have done it on the website. I just checked the app and I don't see an option to purchase with a gift card.

I am sure the answer to my question is somewhere in this thread but I cannot find it. I hope someone is able to clarify if you can book MaxPass at the same time in both parks if you have hoppers. Or if you book a MaxPass in DL do you need to wait the 90 minutes (or ride entry) to book one in CA?

Your later statement is correct, you need to wait to book your next FP regardless of which park it's for. For the purposes of FP they are now treating DL and DCA as one big park. This is true even if you don't have MaxPass, it's a change they made shortly before introducing MaxPass.

Thank you for this clarification. I will plan accordingly.

I’ve heard it hasn’t pushed people over their plans. But I don’t really know.

I'm from canada so will have to add roaming data, so just trying to get an idea sort of thing

I’m from Canada and I had 1GB of data for our trip last summer which included 5 park days. I didn’t use the full GB and I was on the app constantly. It seems to use very little data.

MaxPass by itself should not use much data. It’s just sending small data packets between the phone and Disney’s servers. Think of it like sending a text message. However, other features within the app may use large amounts of data such as downloading pictures or refreshing the map data.

How far down Harbor Blvd have people been able to book MP? I heard on the DL podcast that someone booked from the Grand Legacy. We will be staying at the Hojo, but that may be too far.

Thanks for all of the great info guys. Will be using MP for the first time in July.

 

[katyringo]

We could from the Hojo!


So what are people’s predictions on the incredicoaster and maxpass? Will it be available opening day you think?

It’s not based on proximity to the parks. You could fly home and book one if you’d been in the park that morning.

Were you able to book initial MaxPasses or was this after you going to the park once? Because my understanding is after you entered the park for the day, it didn't matter where you booked.

We grab them from the Homewood Suites down near the convention center, but if you have been to the park already, you should be fine. I don’t believe there is any location tracking used to determine if you can pull FP’s with MaxPass.

Oh yeah deff has been in the park already that day. I thought it used your location too! Guess I was wrong. Makes more sense the other way lol

Well, Arizona isn't anywhere near Harbor, but it still works! You should be just fine.

ETA: We've booked a lot of MP from Homewood Suites just south of the Toy Story parking lot. It is great to take an afternoon break and come back with FP lined up for the evening.

We're going to be at DLR for 2 days on 3/22 and 3/23. Is it worth getting this during spring break? I'm thinking FP availability may not make it worth purchasing,

It is better to get during the heavier crowd times. How many are in your party?
