MaxPass / Digital Fastpass - Discussion Thread

[LoriLovesMickey]

I bought tickets from LMT. If I want to buy MaxPass, how does that work with the app? I haven't seen a way to add my e-tickets to the app. Am I missing something obvious?

Max pass isn't out yet. We all have to wait and see how they will do it.


Keep watching, this looks like a decent place for current info.

I saw on DL Daily today that a CM told Casey June 15th. From what she described in her blog post, the CM went "on the record" with that date. It's on their schedule.

And she posted today on FB that her favorite Plaid told her it was not going to start by the 15th.

Sounds good. Can anyone tell me how to add the e-tickets to the app? Or can you only add APs?

I only see an option to add AP's to the app. However, various tickets that I've purchased online through my account seem to just appear in the app automatically. If you buy tickets from a third party, I'm not sure if there's any way to add them. I would expect that before MaxPass goes live, there will be an update to the app that will probably include more ways to link passes to the app.

Thanks for the info!

I don't think this is something we will be using because I don't see the value in paying for it. For a family of four that's $40 extra per day. I don't have an issue with doing a little extra walking to get the same thing for free. I suppose in the future, maybe 10 years down the road, Disney might go strictly to electronic Fast Passes via smart phones to save paper and maintenance of the fast pass machines. Hopefully the smart phone service would be free by then if they go that route.

Worth noting that it also includes free Photopass and ride photos. Which costs $78 for week I believe. If you like getting your photos, then that makes MaxPass for FP usage a but cheaper.

I'm not sure I understand why maxpass would deplete the pool of fastpasses significantly faster.

I figure that there'll be some FPs drawn by people with park hoppers who don't use a Fastpass runner, so I figure if MP is a success & a lot of people decide to use it then FPs will definitely run out more quickly, due to the ease/convenience of getting FPs.

My family and I have Deluxe AP's. I THINK all the AP's are linked to my account (I can see them all when I use the Disneyland app).

Does anyone know, IF we decide to ever get Max Passes, whether they'll all be "on" my phone? My youngest doesn't have his own phone but my husband and older son do.

I have paper tickets that I bought at a charity auction. They are single day park hopper passes. Do you think I would be able to use Max Pass if I'm using these tickets for entry in November?

I can't say for sure if they'll be automatically linked to your app, but what I do know is that they stated that there would be a way to link your group's passes to one app so one person can manage all the FP. So the main question is whether it's automatic or you have to set it up that way, and we won't really know that until it goes live or they publish instructions. I would think if the passes already show up on your app, that it would be either automatic or very easy to link those passes for MP.

Presumably you can. I don't think they've said anything about certain types of passes being ineligable for MP. That's also assuming everything is up and running by then. It's looking very likely that MP will go live soon, but I don't think a date has been officially confirmed so you never know.

Since MaxPass is a pay service, I'd guess that any ticket is equally eligible.

I haven't seen anything saying that it started today, so the speculation continues.

 

[RobertaMomof2]

Was just thinking the same thing. It is the 15th...

 

[DLgal]

We were at both parks Monday and there was NO guest wifi available. I had seen some tweets that it was now working, but when I tried to connect to a wifi network, only the WLAN locked network showed up. I tried several times in different areas of the park.

Seems the wifi is still not fully functional, and they won't launch MaxPass until it is.

Right. That message said NOT going to start by the 15th.

Didn't mean for it to sound otherwise. More confirming what you said.

Here's the latest according to LaughingPlace.com

http://www.laughingplace.com/w/news...-disneyland-fastpass-system-starting-june-21/

The gist is that in preparation of MaxPass, starting on June 21st, you will still only be pulling paper FP but you will redeem differently. Instead of handing over your FP or even scanning it, you will be scanning your ticket or AP to redeem.
