FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

will I lose FP's for the whole stay, or just for the days I am no longer staying on property?

Only for Stay#1, maybe.

If you do cancel your Stay#1, Cancel your corresponding FPs to open the slots for others to book.

 

[Brent F]

Absolutely will cancel FP's if not going to make it.

I have two separate reservations for the same period. One via an agent group booking and one I did online myself. I need to cancell one. I just made FPs.. so if I cancel one of these reservations will that mess my FPs up. Are these FPs linked to one reservation and which one? Or should I just hold both until the 30 day mark?

 

[hiroMYhero]

Are these FPs linked to one reservation and which one?

No. Both reservations opened your FP booking window. You should cancel one reservation.

Forgive my ignorance, I’m about 70 days out from my onsite room reservation. On MDE for FP+ I can only currently make reservations for the next 30 days. Once I hit 60 days prior to my room reservation, will it open up those days?

 

[NJlauren]

- Annual Pass (AP) holders have similar benefits as onsite guests when staying at an onsite resort. The primary difference is that AP holders can book up to 7 days of FPs at all times, and more if the length of the onsite stay is greater. Multiple trips within a short period can confuse MDX and result in unpredictable FP Booking behavior.

Has anyone had recent experience here?

I have a trip with 7 days of FP booked and then a trip 61 days later.

I’m wondering if I am going to be able to book the later trip 1 days at a time, or not at all. Or if it’s just better to wait till my whole first trip is done.

Yes. That’s how the system works - 60-day window only opens for the exact dates of the onsite stay. It’s explained in the booking post of this thread.

Confused here...

(It's been over 10 years since we've been at WDW & things have changed)

We plan to make one night res at All Star resort, then switch to 4 nights at Swan (tix for 4N starting at Swan)

Does that mean I can get 60+ FP using the AS res for entire 5 nights (or for only 1 night, not those 4 nights at Swan?)

Also, how does it work with ADRs? Same thing, only for that 1 night at AS, or additional 4 nights (that we'll be at Swan)?

You have a Split Stay.

See the Split Stay section of this thread - Post#4.

Your window opens to book FPs for all your park days.

Interesting...did not realize the split stay for non-Disney resorts (that offer 60 day FP's) also "bridged". Figured that benefit was only for Disney owned resorts.

 

[suzimar57]

Thank you for your responses - I also didn't think the Swan was included to cover all 4 nights (of my split stay)

The Swan is one of the resorts listed in the “onsite guests” portion in the Booking Windows post.

My family and I are planning a WDW trip in January (traveling from California). I am looking to buy an AP online for the discount/photopass benefits. I am reading that those are still just certificates and that I will need to go to guest service to activate them? If so, does that mean that I cannot make FP+ reservations until the AP is activated after I reach the parks?

No. Excerpted from Post #2:

A guest must have valid ticket media linked to their name on this account. In most situations, ticket vouchers (including those for Annual Passes) can be linked as well as tickets from third-party resellers such as Undercover Tourist.

If I have a stay beginning September 4, why is my FP day July 6? Shouldnt it be July 4, tomorrow or is it exactly 60 days?

Thank you.

 

[hiroMYhero]

is it exactly 60 days?

Yes.

 

[js]

Yes.

Thank you!

I'm traveling with coworkers for a conference. I have an AP; they will have 2 after 5 tickets and then I will purchase the Bring a Friend ticket for them on the day we have no meetings. What will happen to any FP they make for the last day if/when they use the 2 after 5 tickets first? Will they disappear or can we get them back when they link the bring a friend ticket? One of our after 5 days will be eating/drinking in Epcot, no fastpasses that day but it will use the entitlement.

 

[hiroMYhero]

What will happen to any FP they make for the last day

Those FPs will remain for about 1.5 days before they are swept.

If your last full day is immediately after your short conference day, you should be fine.

My question is, say 3 of us went to WDW and we all used up our 3 FP for the day. I would look on MDE app to find FP times available for other rides we want to use a FP on. So say a ride time pops up at 4:30, does that mean all 3 of us can get that FP for 4:30? Is that 4:30 time slot just for one FP or are there enough FP available for all 3 of us? How do I know?
