FastPass+ Basic Info, Attraction List, and Suggested Priorities--Part I

Or it's Disney's new normal. Because numbers are up and the days of anytime being very low in attendance are gone (for now). Unless it's due to weather (cold/rain) I don't think folks are going to have a feeling of having the place to themselves anymore.

Fair point, but of you look at last year during that week, you could still sprinkle in a few "2" days at every park during that week. Curious how they made such a jump in one year?

New ride that is heavily advertised counts for lots of it. And you do still have days listed as 1 or 2. What you have to change is the definition used to designate a 1 or a 2. Even last year a 2 had more people in the park than a 2 from say 2011.

We have reservations online for sept but when I go online it is only allowing fastpass bookings up to July. Any ideas how to fix this without having to call disney

Same thing happened to me and I did call disney. According to CM, when we hit 60 days the sets should open and we should be able to schedule FP+.

Hopefully that won't change for the first two weeks of September. Loving all of those 1 and 2 days...

we went last year the 7th -14th of september. it was amazing in terms of low volume. had pretty much your pick of whatever you wanted to do whenever.

i don't know where you're from, though, but it was hotter than we could tolerate for a few days. it crossed 100 with the heat index several times, and most every day was 90+ for a good while. be prepared.

If I have an FP and I am trying to "select" a new time and the only time that it is giving me is in the evening, does it mean it is fully booked until the evening? If so, MK on Friday, August 29th looks like it will be more of a zoo than Saturday, August 30th or Sunday, August 31st. I am surprised at that since Saturday and Sunday have pm EMH. I thought EMH days were more crowded (not less crowded).

Have you tried refreshing your browser to see if it give you a new time that works better?

 

[vinotinto]

Actually, I am trying to "Change" the time from 3 pm to earlier. All the times showing are 5 pm and later. Is it all booked? This is for 7MT, which I would imagine it's pretty popular. We're at 50 days out.

I was just looking at our FP+ window also, we are going sept 18-21 and my MDE calendar says we can "select" dates for FP thru Aug 9. All further days are greyed out. I'm hoping once we reach our 60 day window my calendar will magically open up! We are staying at AOA

Does anyone know if this is what will happen? I'm worried if it doesn't work at midnight by the time I wait on disney opening to fix it I won't get A and E !

A coworker of mine was there last month and said this was exactly how it worked for him. Fingers crossed for us, I am stressing over A&E too! Though I've heard it's an easier FP+ to get now that they are there all day.

Yes, but will usually magically open up at 1AM and not midnight--at least it did for me.

Anyone here booked at the Dolphin or Swan?

Just a note that when I did ours a few weeks ago I was online at midnight 60-days out and the date didn't open for me ... it did however open up at 1am (and I have heard of other people experiencing that too).

Also, even at 1am it was a challenge to get A&E (had to book us individually at separate times and eventually was able to get all the times adjusted so they all overlapped by checking every 5 minutes over about 10 days). This was for the last week of August

This has become so common that I have updated the first post with this possibility--look for red text in the first section of bulleted items.

This question may have been asked already but I haven't had the chance to go through all of the pages so please forgive.

We have a group of 7 staying in a 2 bedroom at AKV and we are all linked to the same MDE account. Is there a way to book different fastpass + attractions for different people? For example: Adult 1, 2, and 3 want Space, Splash, and Thunder Mountain. Adult 4, child 1, 2, and 3 want A&E, Pooh, and Thunder Mountain. Can it be done?

Thanks in advance!

This is answered in Bullet 11 in the original post. I keep the OP updated as best I can with the latest info so you do not need to read the rest of the thread.
