A note from Leap: Starting Oct. 19, 2021, FastPass+ service at Walt Disney World will be replaced with the Disney Genie system. For an additional cost, Guests can bypass the standby line and utilize the reimagined Lightning Lanes. Guests will have the option to make individual attraction selections using the Lightning Lane entrance, or can opt for Disney Genie+ service. With Disney Genie+ service, for $15 per ticket per day at Walt Disney World, guests will be able to choose the next available time to arrive at a variety of attractions and experiences using the Lightning Lane entrance. You can make one selection at a time, throughout the day. Check out our Disney Genie Frequently Asked Questions for more information!

Disney World FastPass Tips and Strategies - PinterestIf you're planning your first trip to Walt Disney World (or maybe your first trip since FastPass+ launched), these Disney World FastPass tips and strategies are for you! FastPass+ can be a huge time-saver, and is an integral part of a Disney World vacation ... but it does require advance planning to do it right. Have no fear, frog fans! We've got you covered with these Disney World FastPass tips and park plan strategies to help you skip the lines and maximize your time (and who doesn't want more time at The Most Magical Place on Earth?). If you're looking for the basics, we recommend you start with our Guide to FastPass+, which includes frequently asked questions. And don't froget to download our printable guide to FastPass+!

When to Book Your Disney World FastPasses

When can you book FastPasses? It depends on where you're staying! Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel can make FastPass+ reservations up to 60 days in advance of check-in for their entire length of stay (up to 14 days), while guests staying off-site can make reservations up to 30 days in advance of each day of their theme park visit. The system allows guests to make advance reservations to skip the regular lines at three rides or attractions of their choice inside one park for every day of their visit.

Our Disney World FastPass Park Strategy

The most important thing to know about FastPass+ is that you should use it no matter how empty you think the parks will be when you visit, especially with new lands and attractions (such as Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway). Crowds will always be around in the parks, and FastPass+ is a frogtastic tool to help mitigate them. You will see the very lowest waits of the day in the first few hours after the park opens. We recommend riding the highest priority attractions with the lowest durations when crowds are lowest (which you can see on our park plans) and saving FastPass+ until late morning or early afternoon when crowds are at their peak. If you arrive before park opening, you'll be in prime position to ride most of the major attractions before lunch time and maybe have used one of your FastPasses. We'll discuss this more below, but once you've used your three pre-booked selections, you have the option to obtain more FastPass+ reservations from the in-park kiosks or the My Disney Experience app.

For families with younger children, it may make more sense to use all of your FastPass+ reservations in the late morning or early afternoon. This allows you to take a break in the afternoon and go back to the hotel for a nap or a swim. Then, you can hop back to the park recharged and ready for even more fun. You and the tadpoles can then enjoy a few more rides (using the My Disney Experience app or an in-park kiosk to book additional FastPass+ reservations) and watch the evening's fireworks show.

Use FastPass+ as part of your general park planning strategy along with our park plans and Orlando planning app.

Disney World FastPass Tips - FastPass+ Kiosk

Our Top Disney World FastPass Tips

Make sure all of your party members are connected as friends and family, and your tickets are linked in My Disney Experience.

Before you make reservations, make sure all of the members of your party are linked as friends and family, and all of your tickets have been linked. While all adults can make or change reservations, we generally find it's easier if one person makes reservations for the whole group.

Disney World FastPass Tips - Using My Disney Experience

Book FastPass+ reservations early.

Resort guests have the ability to book up to 60 days in advance of their check-in date, while non-resort guests can book up to 30 days in advance. We recommend booking as soon as your window opens, so that you can secure a reservation for the most in-demand attractions. This means you will need to know which park you will be visiting on each day of your trip. On the day your booking window opens, you can start making FastPass+ reservations at 7 a.m. EST. Mommy Frog usually sets an alarm to try to snag FastPass+ for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Flight of Passage and Slinky Dog Dash. If these aren't your priority, you may be able to sleep in without worrying about missing out, but we still recommend making your reservations as soon as possible, as availability is limited.

Choose your FastPass+ selections wisely.

Disney more than doubled the number of attractions that accept FastPass+ over the previous FastPass system. We're all in favor of more choices, but all attractions aren't created equally. You want to make sure you use your FastPass+ selections on your favorite rides and the most popular attractions with the longest wait times. To help you out, we made a list of priority attractions by park below.

Mind the tier system at EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom.

All parks except for Magic Kingdom have a tiered structure in place for FastPass+ selections. You can make only one selection from the Tier 1 list of attractions and two selections from the Tier 2 list. The Tier 1 attractions include your main headliners, aka those attractions that you do not want to miss. Not surprisingly, these are the same attractions with the longest waits.

Top Three Disney World FastPass Priorities by Park

Magic Kingdom Park

EPCOT

Disney's Hollywood Studios

Disney's Animal Kingdom

Want to see the full list? Check out our Park Plans page. It also lists the suggested sequence of lands or areas to visit by park. Each of these is among the most popular attractions within the parks that see the highest wait times. In some of the parks, it's an easier decision because of the abundance of high-priority attractions. At EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, it’s a more difficult decision, which brings me to my next point.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

If you see that there is no more availability at one of your priority rides, such as Slinky Dog Dash or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, you should keep trying. Go ahead and book three choices, but periodically leading up to your visit, attempt to modify your reservations with the super in-demand attractions. It's worthwhile to check on the day of your reservation, as well, as cancellations do happen (which means those high-demand FastPasses get released and are up for grabs!).

EPCOT Tier 1 Attractions and Entertainment

  • Frozen Ever After
  • Soarin’ Around the World
  • Test Track
  • EPCOT Forever

Disney's Hollywood Studios Tier 1 Attractions and Entertainment 

  • Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
  • Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway 
  • Slinky Dog Dash

Disney's Animal Kingdom Tier 1 Attractions and Entertainment

  • Na'vi River Journey
  • Avatar Flight of Passage

We've bolded what we think are the best choices from the Tier 1 lists. While Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is now open at Disney's Hollywood Studios, FastPass+ is only available for Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is also open, but is currently only accessible by joining a Boarding Group (which you can learn more about here.)

We chose Frozen Ever After because it is by far the most in-demand FastPass+ at EPCOT, so catch a reservation if you can! If we're heading into the park early for breakfast at Akershus and anticipate finishing up with the princesses before (or close to) park opening, we'll often skip a FastPass reservation and hop in line for Frozen Ever After with full tummies instead.

If "Let It Go" isn't your jam, Soarin' would be our next pick. We know that if we hit EPCOT at park opening, we can ride Test Track with a short wait and experience the full pre-show. Tad loves to design his own concept car, and for first-timers, it's really part of the full Test Track experience. We usually continue to visit the other Future World attractions in the morning and then schedule Soarin’ for the late morning before heading to World Showcase.

Back in the old days, people lined up outside of Disney's Hollywood Studios before park opening and made the (very fast) walk to Pixar Place to grab a paper FastPass for Toy Story Mania because it was so popular. Thanks to FastPass+ (and adding more ride capacity), you can now make this your Tier 2 selection and select a reasonable time to ride. (That's what we would do!) But we'd still recommend arriving at park opening if you'd like to join a Boarding Group to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.

Our Tier 1 FastPass+ pick is Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway (or Slinky Dog as a second choice). Once you've arrived in the park (and hopfully gotten your Boarding Group for Rise of the Resistance), you can head to Slinky for the lowest waits of the day. Then, hop over to Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. If you didn't manage to get a FastPass+ reservation to pilot the Falcon, we recommend heading to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in the early evening for the lowest crowds (not to mention a gorgeous view of the spires at night!).

Disney World FastPass Tips - Pandora

For this Frog Family, Flight of Passage is the favorite choice at Animal Kingdom. This incredible flight simulator ride can be tough to get a FastPass+ for, so if you're not able to, we recommend heading straight there at park opening. Flight of Passage is so popular, we've written an entire post about getting FastPass+ for it and Na'vi River Journey. If you have a FastPass for a later time, or aren't an "Avatar" fan, rope drop is a prime time to head to Expedition Everest or Kilimanjaro Safaris for low waits.

Choose the rides that are important to YOU and YOUR FAMILY!

If you're traveling with young children who aren’t 40 inches tall, character experiences might be your priority, or some of the family-friendly Disney classics that don't necessarily have the highest wait times. Decide what works best for your family and plan accordingly.

Attention, park hoppers! Pick a park for your advance FastPass+ reservations.

You can only make advance FastPass+ reservations in one park per day in advance. So if you’re planning on starting the day in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and hopping over to Magic Kingdom in the afternoon, know that you can only make advance FastPass+ reservations at one park. We recommend you use FastPass+ at the second park you’re headed to since you're more than likely starting at the first one when crowd levels are at their lowest.

Make use of extra FastPass+ reservations after you have used your first three. 

Disney World FastPass Tips - Slinky Dog Dash

All park-goers have the option of obtaining additional FastPasses. Once you've used your first three (or the reservation windows have passed), you can visit an in-park kiosk or use your mobile device and make an additional reservation in My Disney Experience. After you use that reservation, you are free to make another. These additional selections don't have to be in the park that you made your first reservations in, which makes it good for park hoppers, and it doesn't matter if you've already made a FastPass+ reservation for that ride. Once you're into your additional FastPasses, the tier restrictions no longer apply (though keep in mind that these will be subject to availability). While this is still a good way to save time, you will want to make your first three reservations your highest priority attractions.

Use it. Don't lose it. Modify and make changes to your FastPass+ reservations.

Once you've made an additional FastPass+ reservation, you can modify that reservation, including changing the time or replacing the attraction with something else. You can do this using the website, mobile app or at a kiosk. If you use the kiosk, note that your whole party doesn't have to be present to add or change the FP+ selection, but the person making the reservation needs to be connected to everyone as friends and family in My Disney Experience.

Use FastPass+ in combination with Rider Switch.

If you'll have a tadpole with you who isn't tall enough for all of the rides, you can use Rider Switch so that no one has to miss out. The benefit of this is that only your first party riders would need FastPass+. Let's say you're a party of four and three of you want to ride Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Your youngest child can't or doesn't want to ride. You would all go to the FastPass+ entrance and tell the cast member you want to do Rider Switch. Your husband and older child would use their FastPass+ to ride while you waited with your youngest. You would get a Rider Switch pass, and you could wait for your husband and then ride along with your older child again while he waited. Or, you could come back with your pass later and ride. The Rider Switch pass is good for up to three people.

Whew! I know that was a ton of information. We hope that these Disney World FastPass tips will help you on your next trip! Have more questions about FastPass+?

We are going for the first time in May of 2016. I need help understanding the process. There are 10 of us going: do we all have to be connected on the same family and friends list for the fast passes? I know that we will want to do different things on some days, or do we have to be at the same parks/rides the whole time? Thanks for your help!

Hi Kari,

You should connect with everyone in your group on My Disney Experience. It will be easier for you to make changes for the group, but you'll still have the flexibility to make separate FastPasses for different parks when you want/need to.

To piggy back on my previous question: can we get 3 fast passes now, and then split up when we get there and get new different fast passes once those three are used?

Quick question: we have a large family group heading to Disney. Is there any way that half of us can get fast passes for the bigger rides, and the other half get the little kid rides? Or will ALL the fast passes be linked for the ENTIRE DAY since we bought the tickets together?

Jen: you can do what you are asking, but another option is that you could use someone else's Band for a second ride. Probably not feasible logistically in a large split-up group, but rather than the little ones wasting a FP on an attraction that doesn't really require a FP you could double up on BIG rides using their Band.

Hi Jen,

You can all split your FastPasses as you wish. Far as your other question, when you've used your first three, you can all select a new FastPass, and they can all be different.

Can you get fast passes for both the day that you arrive in your Disney hotel and the day you leave your Disney hotel?

Hi John,

FastPasses are for everyone, not just hotel guests. If you are staying on-site at a Disney hotel, you get to make your reservations earlier than those who are not at 60 days in advance of check-in.

A couple of other families we know are going to Disney the same time as we are at different places and so we have not decided whether to stay on or off property and currently have reservations at both. We have our park tickets already but it is more than 60 days until our trip.

If we make our Fast Pass + reservations on Day 60 before trip due to the Disney hotel reservation and then end up cancelling the Disney Hotel on, say, Day 15 before the trip (so within 30 days of trip), what will happen? Will our FastPasses stay because we are within 30 days anyway or will they disappear because we are not staying on property and they were made more than 30 days in advance?

Slightly astounded by a few people's negativity! As others have rightly said this is a holiday so relax and enjoy it. Popular theme parks are busy, if you really want to do a particular ride or attraction you have to queue for it - get over it! If you can't be bothered to queue then just don't take the ride. The fact that there are any kind of possible queue-jumping possibilities at all is a bonus. Why shouldn't Disney reward the loyalty of those staying at their resorts with a little something extra? As someone else has said Universal do it. I think some people are giving a very distorted view on here which isn't fair on those currently planning trips that haven't been before. I've been to Disney several times including over Christmas and New Year - which is their absolute busiest time, especially Magic Kingdom - we weren't staying on site and due to a problem with our reservation numbers (our fault, not Disney's) we weren't able to book FastPasses until we got to the parks. I'd like to make it clear to anyone now panicking from reading a certain few's comments that this in no way spoiled our fun. With the exception of two rides we were able to get on every single ride/attraction/character visit that we wanted plus many more. There were still FastPasses available albeit the times were spread throughout the day (didn't bother us) and they weren't available for everything. But there was still availability for many rides. We booked what we could and slotted these in around everything else. As this website recommends, getting to the park for opening (which we did) meant that many of the rides in the Fanstasyland area (our favourite as I have two young daughters!) didn't have particularly long queues at all to begin with. As for the comments about the kiosks...just find a kiosk without queues! There's enough kiosks! We didn't queue at all (again like this website recommends) find kiosks towards the back of the park early on). I can't stress enough how busy the parks were on our last visit (the day before they closed admission by about 11 AM (Magic Kingdom) because they were full to capacity and it was still fine as long as you have the right attitude. This is a really good website with loads of great advice. Just take advice from the actual website and ignore the negatives. comments from people with very unrealistic expectations. Disney is fab and you will have an awesome time!!

Hello! Could you please expand on how Jasmine was able to book 6 FP+ for 2 people, please? What does she mean that she copied and pasted to each other? I would like to do the same if possible and I have never made FP+ selections before so more details would be appreciated. Great site by the way!

Hi Cindy,

I just re-read Jasmine's comment, and the first time I think I misunderstood her. If she was indeed able to get 6 FastPasses for each person for one day, that was a glitch. You should not be able to do that, but you can copy over your 3 selections to another person. I am going to respond back and see if all of those reservations ended up sticking for her.

I just purchased 2-day passes for our trip to Florida in mid-July, so I'm only using FP+ about 10 days before our trip. When I was making my selections, there were only 2 attractions we wanted to use the FP passes for, but when Disney presented me with 4 different options, each option included a 3rd attraction that we're not interested in. I can't just remove 1 attraction from our FP+ itinerary, it's all or nothing. Do you know of a way to remove 1 attraction from our FP+ itinerary?

Also, if we simply skip the attraction we don't want to go to, does Disney penalize us for doing this?

DanneyMouse Says...

Those pre-packaged FastPass plans are just a starting point. Once you pick one, you can change literally everything about it, including canceling one of them. There would be no advantage to you to cancel, but it would be polite to make it available to others if you have no intention to use.

Reply

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Bill,

We recommend you go ahead and book a third pass even if you don't need it. That way, if you decide you do want to do something else, then you would have the option to replace it. If you do not book 3 FastPasses and then you decided to add another, you would not be able to without canceling your others. Hope this make sense! There is no penalty for skipping out on a reservation.

Hello there,

well the only opportunity for my family of 5 with teens can go to Disney is in the heart of July. (PEAK TIME) we have a 7 day hopper but am staying off site. After reading all of these entries I am discouraged in that I imagine all the fast passes for anything worth while will be taken by the time my peak time 30 days begins. Is this really the case or am I being a droopy drawrs soggy bottom old man with no plan ?

But seriously. On rides with high capacity, I think you will be OK. You just may not get the absolute best time slot for your FastPass+ on popular rides with lower capacity, such as Toy Story Mania, and it will be tough to get a reservation to meet Elsa and Anna.

I kind of feel like people should just be happy to have ANY fast passes at Disney and not complain so much and enjoy what they can. Everywhere else you would have to pay to go to the front of the line and a lot of people can't even go on vacation let alone to Disney World. It's vacation, relax. I always look at it as if you don't get to do everything you can come back another year and do other things. I told my little sister we couldn't meet Elsa and Anna this trip because the line would be too long and I didn't get fast passes. So I was pleasantly surprised (and she will be too) when FPs came open for them 3 days before the trip. We had to either skip ToyStory or wait in line. Chose to skip it but saw the Frozen Sing along, did pics with characters, road the coaster and Tower of Terror, Star Tours... we did plenty and had a blast! If you're lucky enough to get a perfect day where fast passes work out perfectly, fine. But you can have just as good a time adjusting to the fact that you won't ride everything.

Hi Everybody,

my Husband and I are heading to our first trip to Disney in 4 Weeks and we´re both so excited like kids! As we are staying offsite, tonight at midnigt it´s finally possible to order our Fastpasses (happy that this means it´s already 6 AM here in Europe and we don´t have to stay up late :-) ) . Our favourites are Seven Dwarfs Mine, Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain. I checked the availability of FP the last few days at midnight for the days that were already available. I noticed that it´s tough but possible to get a FP for 7 Dwarfs if you get online on time. Bad news is, that the possible FP-times were always really bad, like e.g. 10:00-11.00 PM. What would you recommend, getting this FP and hoping for a chance to change to a better time or getting another FP (would be Splash Mountain in our case) with a better time instead an just line up at 7 Dwarfs early in the morning? Hope you can help us.

Many thanks!

We are travelling to and staying in WDW in 2 weeks. In our party we have a total of 4 teens and 4 adults (2 of which are grandparents). I would like to reserve FastPasses thru the MDE app.

Obviously the teens will want different FastPass rides than grandparents. So my question is, does everyone on my family/friends list have to choose the same rides? Or can we customize our FastPasses per individual?

Hi

We are travelling to, and staying in WDW, from the UK at the end of May (23rd) so we are in our 60 day window now. Please can you tell me if you know if there are any parades in HS and AK as there don't seem to be any listed in MDE entertainment section and I thought this strange?

Also I only have a Festival of Fantasy parade time of 3pm in MK and the ELP at 9pm? Are those the only ones i.e. is Celebrate It! parade ending?

I have made our Fastpass+ selections but don't want them to clash with parade times but if the parade times aren't being published until 30 days out it makes it a but awkward . . .

I can't seem to make this fastpass stuff work. My husband dropped one of his fastpasses so he could check for an elsa and anna and snag it if it became available. It hasn't, but for a test I chose something else and when you go to book it, it says it is going to drop the other two fastpasses he already has booked instead of just adding the third. Any work around on this? I hit "next" once just to see what times it would have for the two experiences he has booked and the times it selects are no where near the rest of our group of 15. Why would I have to give up the two fastpasses i already have booked just to add a third?

If you cancel a FastPass for a single day, then you are not able to add a new FastPass without canceling the other existing selections. The best option is to modify your existing reservations for a new experience or time.

Also, how many FP can we book per park per day if staying at Pop Century, 2 or 3? Is this per person or group? Ex. if my husband and I want to ride Space Mtn while my sis and her hubby take our kids to a ride how do we use FP system for this type of scenario?

And if we park hop we will need to go to on-site kiosk to reserve at the next park once we've used FP from first park, correct?

Thanks a bunch!

Hi Lori,

You should definitely check out the post this week about Jedi Training Academy for tips! Yes, you can make MDE changes on the day of via the app, just know that there may be limited or no availability for the most popular attractions.

You are allowed to book 3 FastPasses per day in one park. This is for every person who has a ticket, and it does not matter whether you stay on-site or not. (Guests staying on-site get to book their FastPasses earlier than those off-site.) If you park hop, yes, you must use the kiosk to make additional FastPass+ reservations.

Hello. I am traveling with 2 kids over the age of 10, they can use rides on their own. Can i book rides using the Fastpass under my name and let my kids use them? So in total they would have 6 passes instead of 3 each.

Hi Anna,

It's possible but would be tricky to schedule. Whichever child is using your FastPass would need your MagicBand and/or ticket when it was his or her turn. You would only be able to get 4 FastPasses for each child. One child would then have an extra FastPass+.

I'll be at WDW with three others (4 adults) and staying at a WDW hotel, but two have not confirmed their travel dates so my hotel reservation is only for two guests. Does this mean that only two guests have access to extra magical hour bc the reservation only lists two guests?

MDE and Fastpass+ are all new since our last trip. I have linked all of my family (all adults) to my MDE account as well as their tickets but for some reason because I have 2 rooms at the Swan in my name I can only link 3 others to our hotel reservation (it only takes 4 names and my name is twice). Will this impact our ability to all get the 60 day window or since they all are associated with my MDE account as family am I over thinking this? I just don't want want 3 of us to have a 60 day window and have Disney think 1 of us is off property and only to have a 30 day window.

Will be visiting Orlando the week of June 24th and staying at the Hilton. I know I can obtain FastPass+ 30 days in advance but, given this is prime time, I'm starting to wonder if most/all of the fast passes for the most popular rides will be taken 60 days in advance by Disney resort guests. Do you have any sense how difficult it will be to get fast passes for the popular rides 30 days or less ahead for this period in late June? Thanks.

Can I make three FP+ reservations for two different days but only enter the park on one of those days? (In other words, not get charged an admission for a day where FP+ reservations were made.)

Our family of 8 has 3 separate room reservations for an on site lodge but we are all linked together as Friends and Family on My Disney Experience. When booking Fast Passes 60 days in advance can we book the Fast Pass for for everyone in our party together (like we can for dining reservations) or do we have to book the fast passes separately for each room reservation? Also can you book the Fast Pass 60 days in advance of our check in date starting at 12 midnight Eastern?

Hi Randy,

You will want to confirm that each of your party members' hotel reservation already shows up in My Disney Experience under My Reservations & Tickets. If not, you will need to add the resort confirmation number by clicking Link Resort Reservation. Once that is confirmed, if you are all linked together at Friends and Family, then one person should be able to make FastPass+ reservations for the entire party.

Yes, you can book those FastPasses for your length of stay (up to 10 days) 60 days in advance of your check-in date starting at midnight Eastern.

I am starting to wonder about my FP choices. We will be there duing spring break. My 1st day at MK I have my firt 3 FP for 10 thru 1:25 approx. This with the idea of getting more earlier. The 2nd day I have them running from 10ish to 3:30, this because we wanted to see Ana & Elsa and this last time was the earliest available. So because of A & E, things are kinda tied up that second day as far as moving on to our 4th selection. What I am seeing if I go to Disney site and play w/it is this: times for Mine Train for example are only available later in the day!! This is about a month out fr our trip, so I am worried that for Mine Train, for example if we are thinking of getting they pass the day of (on our 2nd day), after seeing A&E it will be non existent. Any thoughts on this would be appreicated. I am starting to think, to heck with getting addtl passes early, I may need to just grab what I can in terms of Mine Train and enjoy the fact that we have an evening MT pass awaiting, despite the fact that it would block us from getting other addtl FPs.Wow, I just wrote this entire thing in the "name slot" above and had to copy paste to comment. Haha! Anyhow, something about non resort guests being able to book early seems to be making this whole FP thing more of a competition! Kinda stressful!

Hi Ann,

I've done the name slot thing too!!! I am not sure from your post whether you already have a 7DMT FastPass+ or not. It's sounds like you have it for day 1, but want to get it as a 4th selection on day 2. It's possible you could get it as a 4th FastPass, but more than likely you are going to find lesser priority attractions such as Haunted Mansion or "it's a small world" are all that are available day of during spring break. I would make 7DMT a priority, along with A&E and Peter Pan's Flight. You can see our list of priority attractions for Magic Kingdom here. Let me know if I've got this wrong!

Hi Pamela,

Yes, once you have used your first three (or the time has passed), then you can book an additional FP+ reservation via the park kiosks. Once you use that one, you can get another. On Space Mountain, it really depends on when you visit, but generally you are better off booking your first FastPasses late morning/early afternoon. During the morning hours, waits are often low enough that you don't need FP.

In theory, one person can obtain FastPasses for the whole group as you suggest, but that one person would need all of your tickets. So either you would all need to be in the park too or that person could book for everyone, and then head back outside of Epcot to meet you and then you all re-enter together. Realistically, it's unlikely that you would be able to obtain IllumiNations FastPasses the day of.

This is so confusing! I loved the old FastPass option and now I'm trying to figure out the details. My boyfriend and I will be going to DW in September and staying at the Yacht Club resort. Our plan was to get ParkHopper passes and do AK/EPCOT on one day and MK/EPCOT on the second day. When we make our FastPass+ reservations 60 days in advance, are we able to pick times (or approximate times)? We have dinner reservations Thursday at EPCOT, so are we able to pick AK options for the morning or is there a risk of them giving us later FP+ return time and possibly missing our reservation? Also, can we pick passes for different parks? So could we do a FP+ for Expedition Everest in the morning, and then the other two FP+ reservations for something in EPCOT in the afternoon?

We just returned from a trip to Florida where we stayed off-site and visited Disney 2 days (Magic Kingdom and EPCOT). Like many people, we don't get to visit Disney very often, so the fact that our visit coincided with testing of the new FastPass+ system was unfortunate. We didn't have too much trouble in the Magic Kingdom -- we were able to get Fastpasses for 3 rides that day. But, we were lucky that wait times weren't too bad for most rides anyway. EPCOT was a different story. The tiered system is awful, and there are only a few permanent kiosks actually listed on the map. The lines were so long we joked we needed a Fastpass for the Fastpass kiosk. Yes, we came across cast members with iPads, but you don't know where you will find them or when. By the time we could access the Fastpass+ system, the rides we wanted were unavailable. I am anxious for the full roll-out of the system, because I want to see how this will all work out for everyone. Disney says it's better...that wasn't our experience, and I don't want to go back until it really is better.

I don't know that I see what the problem was with the old system - other than having to run across the parks first thing in the morning for the rides that fill out Fastpass early (Soarin', Toy Story Mania, etc). Why not use the FP+ for those Tier 1 rides, but keep the old system in place for the others? With 3 kids, we were able to do so much in a day utilizing the old FP system as we went around the park and really limited much line-waiting (which can be aweful with 3 young kids). I feel that if we were to go now we'd spend 4 times as much of our day waiting in lines or trucking across the MK to get to our next fastpass because a nap, or other unexpected kid request didnt' put us where we estimated we'd be. Sorry - for a family of 5 (6 if you include my mother who comes with us), it is infinitely more expensive to stay on site, so that's not an option. With over a dozen trips to Disney in my lifetime - this is the first time I have been un-excited about going back.

My sister and I are sitting at Orlando airport as I type. Just finished a 7 day park-hopper pass staying on property. Do not like new FastPass system!!! While I could make my FastPass reservations in advance and I did for some of the days, I decided to wait and see where we wanted to go on the last few days and then book the fast passes. On Sunday of this week I tried to get fast passes for toy story mania on Tuesday. None were left. Tried for today, Wednesday, none left. Two-three days in advance those fp were not available. :(.

Also, the day we went to Animal Kingdom the FastPass line for Safari was longer than the standby line. We noticed it at other attractions as well.

Just seems like there are many kinks to work out. Really loved the old system. Only perk I see in the new way is not walking all the way to the attraction to get the fast passes. But that never really bothered me anyway.

Interesting... your comment made me think of this idea, which is probably "playing the system." My family is planning a trip for the fall, and we'll be staying off-site in a 4 bedroom condo. We would love to stay onsite, but due to our large family size (8), it's not an option for us. I wonder if a family could pay for 1 night at the Disney Campsites (only costs about $50 a night), and have access to making fastpass+ reservations 60 days in advance, as well as getting magic bands. You wouldn't even have to stay at the campsite. Would this work? Could you make fastpass reservations for muliple days? To me, paying $50 would be worth it for these benefits...
