Exciting Upgrades To FastPass+ At Disney World

Fastpass+ 3

Exciting news about FastPass+!

Over the weekend, Disney rolled out a few tweaks to the FastPass+ system that are sure to be a hit with guests. It is now easier than ever to make and customize your FastPass+ reservations. Guests no longer have to waste time or energy visiting a kiosk to make their fourth rolling FastPass+ selection, but instead can use the My Disney Experience app to make all additional choices after the first three FastPass+ reservations have been used. And the best part of all about this change…the fourth FastPass+ can be in ANY park. That’s right folks, you can be eating a Dole Whip in Magic Kingdom while you’re booking your fourth FastPass+ for a thrilling ride on Tower of Terror in Hollywood Studios.

Fastpass+ 2The second change is more of a minor one, but should be helpful during the planning process. In the past, guests were forced to book the initial three FastPass+ reservations all at once and were assigned ride return times. Now guests may book each reservation one at a time selecting the times that they actually want. So no more having to reschedule all of your assigned FastPass+ times!

To take advantage of all of these exciting new features, be sure you are using the most updated version of the My Disney Experience app.
