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

[NandK]

Yes. 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.

Thanks for the quick response.
Just to clarify, I read the bullets and bullet 11 (Once FP+ attractions are selected, they can be individually edited) doesn't seem like it addresses having different attractions for different individuals. So, to do different attractions for different people on the same day you first have to select your entire party, make FPP selections that would take care of some, then change each individual that wants something different through the edit option. Correct?

Yes.

I will edit the OP to further clarify.

OK, what am I missing? Staying on-site in Oct, 60-day mark for FP is August 27. But I see postings that I can practice reserving FPs for any day within 30 days of NOW that I can then cancel just to see how the system works, but I am not able to do this. Clicking on the Make FP+ Selections button from the MDE website, I just get a message that I can begin making selections on Aug 27. Not able to do it through MDE app either. Any advice? No big deal if it doesn't work, just wondering how others are able to play with it before their actual 60-day date and would like to get familiar with reserving FPs ahead of time if possible.

Possible last minute trip for August 2 - 6. If I decide to go online and purchase 2 AP's, and a separate 4 day pass, how do I make FP+'s??? And How do I get MB's?

In order to practice within the 30 day window, you need to have some kind of active ticket/pass. So like if you had purchased tickets separately from a third party, you could tie that ticket to MDE and use the FP+ system. But with an upcoming package including tickets, you don't have that situation, and you have to wait until August 27th.

Thank you for clearing that up! Sorry, don't know how I missed that!

Does anyone have a preference for this scenario:

My sister will only be joining us for 1 park day. We'll be at MK. We have FP+ booked for Mine Train for all of us, and then we have 3 of us booked for Space and 2 of us booked for BTMRR so she can use our bands and ride both. I'm debating which of these to book as our third for everyone... Haunted Mansion, Buzz, or Pirates? Which seems like it would be less likely to be available as a 4th or 5th later in the day? I currently have Buzz booked just because I know from past experience that the lines always seem long. How have the lines for Pirates and HM been since FP+ started? We are planning on going over to the park early (have a CP ADR at 8:20) and then mid-day break, and then back at night for EMH. Any thoughts?

I agree with Buzz. HM and POTC will have reasonable lines except between 10am-6pm. I would hit those rides in the AM.

Buzz also. It typically has longer lines than HM or PoTC.

Thank you both!! We'll keep it as is and try to hit HM and POTC either early or during PM EMH

I have an upcoming package with tickets, and am still able to "play" within the 30 day window, but for MK only. This works in both the app and online, but maybe it's just a glitch? Any other park I try to select, however, I get a message that there is an error with my party's tickets.

Thank you very much for putting all this information together.
I know it is a lot of work and I so appreciate it.

May I kindly ask where I can find the tiering of the attractions for both HS and Epcot? I see the attractions that give out a FP+ but I do not see where it is labeled for what group (Group 1 and Grop 2).

I'm sure it is right in front of me, but I cannot locate what ride is what group.

Thank you very much!

In the first post, where the attractions are listed for each park, the attractions that are tier 1 are in red.

For those of you that have had success securing an A&E FP+, just curious how many days into your trip you are scheduling for, and what time of day you are getting? We have 3 days at MK to play with, but day 2 of our trip is the only day we will be there all day. On days 4 and 6 I am limited to the morning only. Need help prioritizing! TIA!!

 

[BlueFairy]

For early August I logged in at midnight 60 days out and had my choice of times for Day 2 of our trip. (This happened to be about the same time that they added more FP options for A&E later into the evenings.)

At 60 days out I booked A&E for day 4 of our trip (intentionally looked for that day first). Picked a return window of 1:50-2:50. IIRC, we had good options; this worked best with our plans for the day
Oh, and we were there starting on July 4 (sadly, home )

I scheduled it for day 8 of our trip. I went right to it as soon as my window opened up (at 1 am). I didn't want to take any chances for any day earlier. I'd say go for the day as late as possible first, then go back to the more preferable day. You can always go back and delete one. I had my choice of times. I picked early afternoon as it worked best for us.

I went on at 3:30 am on our 60 day mark. Got A&E for day 6 of our trip. This was the first one that I looked for. Got 6-7 return window as this is what I wanted, but there were many time options available. At noon the same day, I went on to finish up and checked MK for day 4 of our trip. There were none available for that day.
