When you registered for the Passholder preview, did your confirmation email have an original window of time? That same window of time was what was provided in the 2nd email I received last evening. I think it is odd that the FP+ doesn't have an end time for that day, but since we are supposed to be out by 8p anyway, I'm guessing that would be the end time.

Maybe like you said, they are putting in the FP+ option so the Passholder has access to the preview experience, but why they would put the time an hour before it starts is quite the mystery!

My original window was from 2-4, but I don’t remember ever seeing a time for a specific FP… weird.

The FastPass people are seeing is just a mechanism to allow you access to the preview during a specific window. They just decided to use a mechanism they already have in place so they could just scan bands/cards at the wall to determine your eligibility to enter the preview at that time. It does not provide any specific access to any attraction.

Okay, that's what I was sort of assuming. Makes sense.

Unfortunately though, at least according to the Cast Member I spoke with on the phone this morning, even though it says 5p on FastPass, as my official confirmation email states 6p, I won't be able to access until 6. Maybe it will eventually be corrected - perhaps someone put in the wrong time?

I guess I didn't try to read or assume anything from it and made no assumptions that it changed my access time. I just figured it was the first hour after the end of the previous group access window and nothing more

Gotcha. As I had mentioned in an earlier post, I had double-booked myself for the evening, so I pounced on the fact that I might be able to get in an hour early. Oh, well.

Maybe they want you waiting in line outside at that time, even an hour before entry? It is interesting they give you a time an hour before but then state to stick to the timeframe you selected ...

Hopefully those going to the first preview for Passholders can let us know why they put the time an hour before ...

How early would you guys suggest getting there for your time slots? I've been hearing mixed answers from CMs who have gone talking about them handing out like paper fp type things for flight of passage because it's been having issues so only a few get to ride it? Anyone have anything more concrete?

Apparently they will give you a paper ticket to access FOP. You can ride River Journey as many times as you want. According to Twitter. Hopefully our members chime in with how it all went down ...

I can confirm getting a Fastpass for FoP and being able to ride River Journey at will. The land is INCREDIBLE. There's just so much of it.

Thanks for the update! Glad you enjoyed it! I can't wait until the 18th! Were you able to get "everything in" so to speak? Enjoy the land, the rides, the store, the canteen?

And what about the time they put on MDE that's an hour before the two hour block scheduled?

Get there a half hour before your time! They let you into the land early, we just got off Flight of Passage. To that I say wow.
