FP Using The New Wrist Band..

[real mad hatter]

Sorry if this question is out there already.....Simple question..Easy answer please..So in 2015 I get my new super duper band and I'am at Soarin at 0830..Will I be able to get a FP for this attraction via my band.?..Now remember..I won't be taking any phones..tablets..or beam me up Scotty devices to WDW..

 

[Master Yoda]

If everything goes as planned,yes. How you get it will be slightly different, but you will still be able to get it.

Thank you sir..You are my Guru in Disney world..

The grand plan is for the FP stations specific to rides to go away. There will be FP+ kiosks in the parks that you'll be able to access with your disney.com account to make and change FP+ reservations. But the process of going to a ride to get a FP with your park admission media is going away, at least according to what I've seen.

I hope they will eventually let you use the kiosks and your admission media without having to know and remember your password. But that's my idle speculation. I've not seen anything from Disney suggesting they will or will not add that feature to the program.

The Magic Band or Keys to the World Card will be your "ticket" to the FP queue. You won't get a little slip of paper with your return time anymore.

If things go how I predict they will, getting an on-demand FP+ will be like trying to get an ADR the day-of, in the middle of summer. There just won't be any available, I fear.

You'll want to get FP+ for your must-do rides as far in advance as you can.

Unless it popped up here in a thread, I haven't seen anything official, or unofficial.

Nor have I. I do have my doubts that Disney will let all of the fastpasses to go to advance reservations like they do for ADRs. I see only down sides for them if they went that route.

 

[Tip Top Club]

That information will never be released. But Suffice it to say that FastPass+ times will be staggered in release, from three months out, to a month out, a week out, a day out, and day of.

That is kind of what I thought.

But like dining, there is the allure of better knowing demand to allow for more precise scheduling. Even if Disney does start off holding reservations for day-of, I cannot see the corporate culture allowing this to last.

The difference between dining and fastpass is there is money involved when it comes to dining. An empty table at a restaurant is money lost. Most attractions already run at capacity already and there is no profit lost by an empty ride vehicle giving no real incentive to book fastpasses to capacity in advance.

If you have a smartphone you should be able to use the MyMagic app and track everything.

 

[cowanfamily]

Will Disney ever expand the app past the iphone and android. I have a windows phone and can't access it?

You could try accessing the website. If that doesn't work you'll have to use the kiosks.

 

[ddrongowski]

Hey I not even supposed to be able to get the bands or fp+ yet. But the bands are being shipped to me and check out my FP+ selections that I got online. Things that make you go hmmmm? Maybe Disney realizes how much money I give them? NAHHHHH.

Smart phone, or print them out and carry the paper in your pocket. The later is what I am going to do.

If you're using your Band/RFID Card at the kiosk, there is no need to log in. Simply touching the Band to the reader brings up your account for FP+ access. (This has been shown in a number of online videos from people demonstrating the FP+ system)

You only need to log in when you're using your phone or the website.

Hadn't seen that one before. I guess it makes sense that would be available right away.

Thanks for the info.
