Hi we have a group formed for the Nov 3rd cruise if that is yours your welcome to join us.
https://www.disboards.com/threads/november-3rd-2018-7-night-bahamian-cruise-from-new-york.3648059/
This will be our first NY cruise stopping for WDW. As I have read and understand it they preload 3 anytime Fastpasses to your ticket that they give you. I have read and suggested that you enter that ticket info into your My Disney Experience and then on the bus on the way to the parks you can book 3 more fastpasses. So you will have 6 fastpasses on your ticket. You can use your booked passes at their picked times but make sure you use them within your time frame not early or late cause it will use your anytime Fastpass instead if you do. After you use all your booked fast passes you can book 1 new one. Then another new one after each time you use one. You don’t need to have used all your anytime fastpasses to book a new regular Fastpass.
Our plan as example -
We plan to do Epcot first. We will try and book Spaceship Earth, Soarin, and Figment (DS is a fan) for our first fastpasses. We plan to save our anytime fastpasses for Slinky Dog and Alien Saucers at the Studios and maybe Peter Pan at MK or Navi River Journey at AK.
I hope you understood this and maybe someone else can come along and explain it better.
