What is Fastpass+?
Fastpass Plus now allows you to schedule access to your favorite Walt Disney World attractions before you even leave home. For the first time ever, you can now schedule Fastpass times for Character Greetings, shows, parades and fireworks!
How much does it cost?
Fastpass+ is included with the cost of your ticket, package or Annual Pass free of charge.
How do I schedule my Fastpass+ selections?
You can schedule your Fastpass times through the My Disney Experience webpage or mobile app. Link your park admission to your account and add people you are planning with to your Friends and Family list to schedule times for your whole party.
Select the date and park you plan to visit. Then, select the 3 attractions you would like to reserve. MDE will show you any attractions that are not available. The app will present your choices offering different time choices for each attraction. Just select the schedule that works best for you. After you select these three, individual times and attractions can be changed at any time through the app.
UPDATE: Effective April 10, 2016 - You can now make from 1 to 3 FPs in advance. You will no longer be forced to choose all 3. Also, you will be able to choose the attraction and time simultaneously.

What attractions are available for Fastpass+?
Use the photo at the top of this article to see what attractions are available for this service. Note that certain parks have attractions broken into different "tiers". For these attractions, you may only choose 1 Tier 1 selection and 2 Tier 2 selections.
UPDATE: Attractions and Tiers are subject to change as attractions close and new attractions are added. See the MDE app for the latest availability.
How many Fastpass+ selections can I make?
At this time, you may make 3 selections per day in advance using the app or website. Once you have used these 3 selections, you can make another. Make these selections by going to a Fastpass+ kiosk in the parks only after you have used your 3 previously selected Fastpasses. You can continue to visit the kiosk to schedule more Fastpasses after all previous ones are used. These additional selections can be made on day of visit only.
UPDATE: Effective April 10, 2016 - You will no longer be required to visit a kiosk to make additional selections. You can now choose your additional FPs, one at a time, right from the MDE app!

How many parks can I schedule in one day?
At this time, you must make your 3 advance selections all for the SAME park. If you plan on park-hopping, schedule your 3 advance passes for the first park you will be visiting. Once they are used, you can visit the Fastpass+ kiosk in that same park or in a different park on the same day to get additional Fastpasses. OR you can schedule all 3 Fastpasses for later in the day at the second park you will visit, and you will not be able to use any FP in the first park.
UPDATE: Effective April 10, 2016 - Additional FP selections can now be made for a different park if you plan to park-hop.
