Dreaded FastPass Email - 2018
In 2017
@Queen of the WDW Scene created “
Who has had their last day of FP+ cancelled?” thread. It was quite controversial, time consuming and exhausting. In the end she believed it was caused by
"people that had made contact with Disney to modify their reservations." but what exactly does that entail?
These resort changes have been confirmed for causing FP issues:
- If you had two resort reservations at the same time and canceled one of them.
- If you made a resort reservation and changed to a different resort.
- If you “modified” your resort reservation including adding a person or changing your date of travel.
Does the FP issue happen to everyone who makes these changes?
Unknown. Many DISers don’t report what happens to them.
When should you make your FP’s before or after you make your resort changes?
Unknown. It’s not your FP’s that are being flagged it’s your
MDE account. I recommend you get your reservation in order then take care of your FP’s.
What else can we do?
Try booking your FP’s on park day ticket (s) first, then go back and book FP’s on your party ticket.
If you receive the “Dreaded Email” cancel your Party FP’s immediately and call WDW Tech Support
(407) 939-4357. I do NOT recommend calling any other department nor using WDW online “chat”, they cannot help you.
If you’re at WDW, go to the Lobby Concierge at your resort. For non-resort guests, you’ll have to go to Guest Relations located at any park entrance.
One thing is for certain,
You will have to monitor your emails and MDE account daily until your trip is completed.
What other options do you have?
- If you haven’t purchased your party ticket, open a new account under your spouse’s name, using their cell number and email address. Note, you will only be able to book FP’s at 30 days out and when entering Magic Kingdom you will need to scan your party ticket and not your Magicband.
- Purchase another park day ticket which will give you FP’s at 60 days out with your resort stay. You have better options here including getting into the park earlier and using more FP’s until 6pm. However, the costume rule still applies to adults. The earliest I’ve entered was 3pm in full costume with an 3:20 ADR.
Currently there are
six fellow DISers who have come forward on the
MNSSHP threads to share with us what they are now going through, their posts can be found on
Dreaded FastPass Email - 2018 Post #11 where you can also stay informed.
There are a few fellow DISers I'm concerned for:
@firsttimer4 ,
@ArielSRL ,
@LoganBrown1990 and
@scrappinginontario because we simply don't have enough data, but we're getting close and we need each other to resolve this.
What we are learning is how this is impacting other special events like
MVMCP and most recently DAH and lets not forget
@lorilclevelandrn who lost TWO days of FP's!
