Yup.....
I'm leaving my FP+ choices as they are. Almost all of them are before Noon, so we'll pick up whatever we can after that.
I intend to be on Vacation, not working another job trying to play the FP game with the Disney Commandos.
Now we just gotta get a drink at the WS someday together, we think just alike

I am standing pat with my current FP+s. We will play it by ear once we use them. I ain't messing with all the dang work I did to balance my week
Yes, but if I can manage to swing everything I'm wanting at HS in one day, that may open up an entire day's worth of plans later in the week lol. I probably have a few days to decide before things start to book up, though, since we're still more than a week away from the 30-day mark when more people get to make their FP+ choices. I'll sleep on it
Thank you!

Understand what you're saying, but that's a different discussion I think. The option should be there. Whether its the best option - well, that's up to the user.
(Personally, I could plan for a RD all year and still miss it by 30 minutes every time.)

I understand and that makes sense. The only thing I want to do this trip that we are not already doing is BOG, other than that I am doing everything I want to do. We are not FP+ for Soarin but I am not a huge fan, well until they get the new movie then I am all in! But if we can book a FP+ to Soarin on one of the park hopping days at Epcot we will do that this trip as well. I think we are in Epcot for 3 dinners and 1 full day so we have a chance at it anyways

Yeah... we went with Soarin' for our FP+ for Epcot and plan to do TT in single rider... or we may do TT on our second Epcot Day if we end up not needing Thursday for HS. That's part of the conundrum lol.
It sounds like we'd be more likely to get a FP+ for RnC as our additional one than we would be for TSMM, so that's the only thing I was thinking of changing. Then we might be able to get them both in on one day without waiting an hour for either, as DH has said he's not waiting an hour for anything lol. But, since our last FP+ time isn't until 4:00, we may be too late by then anyhow. I guess we'll see!

Oh you are so killing yourself with your worries! You are going to have a magical trip, stop racking your brains and nerves over it!

I kind of read it that once you went through your 3 pre booked FP's you can go to a kiosk "at any of our parks" was the quote and select another FP. I'm just wondering if I should rearrange my FP+ for morning or early afternoon so I can use more FP's in the evening. AHHHH these vacation planning decisions.

I'm hoping that we can get those additional Fastpasses via the app rather than having to find a kiosk. Also, will this allow for repeat rides of attractions that were already selected in the original 3 choices? Hmmm...

That is indeed everything I needed to know. Thanks!
How are the lines at the kiosks these days? I wonder if they will get worse with people trying to score 4th and 5th FPs.

Wow, this helps. One question and please excuse my confusion, it's early....
"The additional selection can be made at a different park than the original three selections, but must be made at a kiosk inside the required park." Can someone clarify this? Does this mean if I have used my 3 choices at Epcot I have to go to MK in order to get a fastpass at MK later that day?

The last line of that doesn't fly well with me.
"If one of the originally FastPass+ selections is made for close to park closing, it will not be possible to make an extra FastPass+ selection."
So basically if you pick priority seating for Illuminations as one of your picks at Epcot, you're screwed for additional FastPasses. That doesn't seem fair to me. We usually like to pick priority seating for Illuminations. Looks like those plans will have to change whenever it is we go back to WDW. It also doesn't seem fair if you're a day of guest who can only pick choices later in the day if that's all that's available.

my guess is those lines back off some in the mid afternoons but this will pick them up again for the most part. They certainly need to get this functionality built into the app because I for one don't want to stand in line at another park to schedule something to shorten a line somewhere else. I'd rather do it on my phone while I'm traveling there or something

It almost appears as if eventually it's going to get to how it used to be just without the paper fastpasses.

Agreed about having to get it into the app. WDW is making it where the app is the main "point of functionality" so it would only make sense to add another from your phone. I don't mind going to the kiosks as before we had to go to each individual attraction so it's not all bad.

yeah, my guess is it is much quicker to enable this using the onsite kiosks than it is coding and placing into the android and iPhone apps for release to their stores... so I bet that functionality isn't far behind
