Thanks, is there a date set for when this will happen? I can't believe it hasn't happened yet.
I wonder why they haven't...it really makes no sense.
Based on the original MDE T&C, it seems that there were always plans to allow additional FP+s to be selected.Two major lines of thinking on this one:
1) They never intended to let people make more than the original 3 FP+ per day, but after the complaints they gave in and allowed the 4th rolling FP+, but to minimize its usage they force you to use the kiosk. (Though once you make it, you can edit it within the MDE app as long as it's still for the same park)
2) They didn't originally intend to let people make more than 3 or they did and the complaints forced them to speed up the timeline, and adding it to the in-house kiosk system running their proprietary software was fast and easy compared to adding a complex feature to the MDE app that needs to run on tons of different mobile phone platforms, not to mention the mobile website...
If it *never* rolls out to the MDE app, then I'd say the answer is #1...

I have a feeling that they added it due to complaints and now they can say we listened. They put up road blocks to make sure it is not used much. And, eventually they'll come back and say, we added it but it was not heavily used so we are going to take it away.
For what it is worth, on my recent visit this summer, I asked a CM @ guest services (Jordan @ International Gateway Guest Services) about the prospects of being able to add the additional FPs (after first 3 expire) via the phone app. She had a very clear and direct response. Since not all visitors have smart phones, the kiosk-based approach is the only way to offer the additional fast passes in a fair and consistent way
It helps to pay attention to which kiosks tend not to have lines (or at least tend to have shorter lines).I hate FP kiosks....It's like a line to avoid a line...so I'm having to pick the lesser of the evils.
That's just fluffy BS answers. They are worried about 'fair' then, but not any time before?
