I am about to cry about FastPasses

[Deleted]

I just moved my target family Disney vacation date back from 2017 to 2019

Good luck

"Creating magic."

Of course they are.

[eponinepontmercy]

Can I offer a Disney vent of my own? My sister booked our hotel rooms because we're using her cast member discount. They only rooms she could get are the pirate rooms at Caribbean Beach. They are more expensive than the regular rooms, because pirates!

BUT - they are farther away from the main building and only have full-sized beds. All the other buildings were refurbished to include queen beds.

I love Disney - paying more for the privilege of smaller beds and a longer walk to breakfast.

That said, my Elsa disnybounding outfit is ON POINT.

[eponinepontmercy]

It's where you dress up in clothes inspired by a disney character. My sister and I are doing Anna and Elsa.

I said in another thread that I was torn between "I'm 35 and too old for this nonsense" and "Fuck it, it's Disney."

I bought a teal tunic top and a magenta scarf to wear with black leggings - all the colors from her coronation dress. (Plus, super comfortable.) I MIGHT also do white shorts and a light blue tee another day, if I can find a snowflake necklace.

DON'T JUDGE ME.

[eponinepontmercy]

I'm pretty low-key compared to some of the outfits I've seen on tumblr.

Are you trying the copy part?

[jeaniebueller]

LMAO because I had a very similar breakdown when I was planning our fast passes. Stay strong!

[spankswife]

It's easier to book 3, then modify the experience or the time of each one. The go from there. Also you can drop a person and change their experience from that.

I'd call them.

GODDAMIT IT'S STILL NOT WORKING

I cancelled all of our Monsters Laugh whatever thinking they were at all different times anyway and then I would have a "slot" available and could actually view the times available and reschedule them, but apparently I can't do anything without changing all three things (except we only have two now).

OMFG I already hate Disney. Why did I do this?

Are you on mobile app? If so you need to try to change it on a real computer. The app frustrated me to no end because it tried to force me to change all 3 vs. just 1. If you're doing it on the web you can change one thing at a time.

How do I modify a time please?

You click on the one you want to change, then it will say change experience or change time. Then you click time. From there you can see other times, and if you don't like them, you have the opportunity to hit cancel and you won't lose your original FP time. You have to click confirm to change it.

You don't need a fast pass for monsters laugh factory. That typically moves pretty quickly. Longest I have waited has been 20 min. It s a great "resting" show.

I kept my head in the sane about fast passes before we went to Disney earlier this year.

I didn't book a single FP until we were standing in the park during one of their busiest weeks of the year. Spring break for the majority of FL's public schools. Yay.

Anyway, there were TONS of options. I think the day of as people get themselves to the park, they start releasing their FP reservations and making adjustments based on where they're at / their mood.

Don't stress. We got to do some fairly high profile rides at very reasonable times.

ETA: It also wouldn't surprise me if the day of Disney releases more FP availability themselves.

[ssmjlm]

Is everyone linked in your my Disney account? Once I had everyone linked together I could do FP for the whole group.

I'm doing exactly this. It is not giving me the option to change the time. It's just listing a summary of what it is and then it has a list of other rides under that.

You need to pick a new ride, then you'll select the time.

This makes me feel better.  Since we're using my sister's guest passes, we can't make any fastpass+ reservations until 7 days out.  (At least from what I can tell.  We haven't been able to link those tickets to my reservation.)  As long as we get to meet a princess or two, I'll be okay.

I mean, as long as DD gets to meet a princess....

But like we're meeting Ariel at 10:30 and my parents have 11:40. I just need to change my parents'. Or ours or whatever.

It's fine. You can be 5 min early or 15 min late. Just go at 1135/1140

You can only have 1 FP per hour. So if your Ariel window is 10:30-11:30 then you won't be able to book another FP until after 11:30.

And make sure you clicked "change time" vs. "change experience".

We just went to a kiosk when we arrived and they fixed it for us. They were able to get us in the time frame we wanted. Not sure if that's normal for them to be able to do that, but it was easily fixed! But, I also bought tickets the night before, so not like I had weeks to plan it.

[InBetweenDays]

This is why my kids (6 and 9) have never gone to Disney. It sounds so overwhelming! It's like you all are talking in another language. There is a website called WDW Prep School???

[chickens987]

I almost cried thursday night when I stayed up til midnight and then realized my window didn't open until the next day!

But I got everything we wanted except the FoF parade which isn't a big deal I hope.

[curbsideprophet]

If you are going to cancel everything and start over, I would book your initial times away from the times you actually want. This way when you go to change the times you can see what all is available around the time you want.

Good luck!

[chicago]

Totally agree with Peggy. Delete everything and start from scratch! Also, Laz is correct that you definitely don't need FP+ for Laugh Floor. With your dd, I'd be sure to get Peter Pan, Belle and/or Anna and Elsa.

I am totally skeptical of this new FP+ system. Like I need more shit to plan. This is why I went with an agent, though I know I'll probably log into my account and change everything he books for us anyway. Blah.

[cincodemayo]

Oh my gosh, I'm sorry.

We are tentatively planning to go to Disney in January when I'm 33 weeks pregnant (bad idea #1?) and this thread is giving me hives. I already told my DH I was stressed out that the dining plan reservations are already open for those days and we won't get to meet Mickey at breakfast! The horror!

It's the best quote ever. You must stomp your foot when you say it.

It will be okay.

At this point, cancel everything and start over. It's easier. UNLESS YOU HAVE ANNA AND ELSA. THEN DO NOT CANCEL THEM.

Once you've cancelled everything, make sure everyone is linked together in your "My Disney Experience" and make new FastPasses for everyone.

Thank you.

This is like when I just needed someone's permission to quit breastfeeding and that it would still be okay.

Aaaannndddd I just peed myself.....
