Making your FastPass+ selections on My Disney Experience is rather easy. But I cannot stress enough the importance of the pre-planning that we did. In this phase I knew what rides we wanted to ride and roughly what time of the day we wanted to ride them based on our dining and other plans. I say this is key because when I went to make my FastPass+ selections, even though we were 60 days out, there were still some FastPass+ rides that were already gone for the time I wanted, so I had to make quick decisions on changes in our plans and this was easy because I knew what I could switch around.

The first thing I did was made sure I was online and in the app when it was time to make selections, that is 7am ET on the 60-day mark if you are staying on property and the 30-day mark if you are not staying on property. Because I knew the Flight of Passage and Na’vi River are VERY popular I started with the days we are going to be an Animal Kingdom. The first day we are going to be at Animal Kingdom there were no FastPass+ available for Flight of Passage, so I quickly finished off the remaining selections for that day in Animal Kingdom and moved straight to our 2^nd planned day at Animal Kingdom to look for a Flight of Passage FastPass+. I was lucky there were some for the 2^nd day we planned to be at the park and so then finished up the passes in Animal Kingdom. I think proceeded back to the remaining days at WDW and each park.

Here are a few key tips that I discovered while making my selections:

• MOST IMPORTANT!! EPCOT has a tiered system for FastPass+ selection. The following rides are in Tier 1 and you can only select one of these per day! I did not know this and made the mistake of trying to have two of these selections on the same day, which the My Disney Experience App will not allow.
  • Test Track
  • Soarin’
  • Frozen Ever After
• Don’t forget that Hollywood Studios also has a tiered approach. You much chose 1 from Tier 1 and 2 from Tier 2 each day.

• If you want a specific time, find it along the top of the screen and select it so that the app will quickly show you what is available at time.
• When you are making selections, the app will not allow you to make a selection in the window for which you already have a FastPass+. For example, if you have a FastPass+ for Peter Pan’s Flight from 9:45-10:45am, you cannot select a FastPass+ for Haunted Mansion that starts at 10:30am.
• The app will show you your dining reservations and any other reminders you have set for yourself while you make your selections to ensure you don’t overbook yourself.
• Once you have made selections they show up in My Plan.
