The short answer is, the next generation of Fastpass where you will be able to pre-order/reserve Fastpass times before you get to the parks.
You will be able to login to a website or make reservations from your smart phone to get Fastpasses before you get to the parks.
Here's a little more information: http://www.wdwmagic.com/other/fastp...s-system-to-begin-guest-testing-this-week.htm

So with the advent of FastPass+, will regular FastPass be phased out and only Disney Resort guests will have access to it? Is that the plan?
No i think it will be there for good imho, and fastpass+ will be a bonus to resort guests as it should be .... again imho

We got ours yesterday!!! So excited!!!
Can anyone use the fast pass+ card itself or only person assigned to?
My parents were selected, me and wife were not (under different reservation). They're elderly and not going to ride anything but want to give to me and my son. I went online and selected the attractions we want and I'm assuming we can just walk up and swipe these or something? Anyone know?

Right now, I don't believe the Fastpass+ media is linked to your normal ticket media so I would assume they are transferrable.

I don't know if someone said this already but I Disney has it right on SO many things, why is FP such a difficult thing? I hate to say this but Universal has the best idea, you get to cut an entire line, whatever time you want you just can only do it once per ride. But it saved so much time, you do what you want when you want. Cmon Disney you can do better!
While we won't know for sure until final roll-out, I highly doubt that Disney would limit it this far.
Disney already does this with EMH. I have not heard locals or AP'ers (we have APs) complaining about it. And there has been nothing that says that you cannot go to the parks and still get all the regular fastpasses that you wish.
I just cannot see Disney going the Six Flags and Uni route with having people pay for FP+. I know that TDO is a bunch of money grubbing, love my bonus execs, but I do not see this happening. If it does, I will be one of the first to write the angry letter to Meg and Co. about how they are destroying WDW. My opinion, of course.

I think they would have to offer FP+ to everybody, it's basically a form of crowd control and it won't work if you only control some of the crowd
It sounds to me that the new system is really more of a way to regulate the current system. The current FP really only works well for the first few hours of the day, but by mid day/evening is backed up and over loaded. By limiting the number of passes to 4 per guest and spreading it out across the day it should run more smoothly, and if they can regulate the FP lines it should elevate the crazy long Stand By lines

It seems like it should be based on choice. Some people like to plan their trips step by step and others like to
leisurely walk around and be spontanious. Hopefully they figure out away to incorporate both ways. I just can't imagine a Disney expiernce where you know which rides you're going on half a year before you go, and I represent the people who only get to go once every few years

A few people have posted that they could change around the FP+ times after they originally scheduled them, I'm wondering if there some kind of cut off time to when or if you have to be "locked in"
Like If you have a smart phone, can you move you times around on the day in the park? Since Disney has apps that tell you the wait times, in real time, it seems like there should be a way to integrate this new FP+ thing with that

Yes, you can change the times either on your phone, or at Kiosks throughout the park. You can even change the time if you "missed" the original. So say you had a 10-11am window for Jungle and you missed it for whatever reason. At noon you can go to a kiosk and change your time to a later time, or change the attractions entirely, depending on availability.
