dvccamper 32 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I just went in to change our fastpasses for Epcot in March. For the heck of it I tried to switch Spaceship Earth for Test Track because it appeared you could do so (we already have Soarin) and it let me! Then I went to my HS day and switched out Star Tours for Rock n Roller Coaster, we already had Toy Story. So not sure if this is a glitch in the system or they're changing once again, but I like it!

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Interesting. By changing some existing FP+ choices, I was able to book FP+ reservations for Toy Story, Rock N Rollercoaster and Illuminations Fantasmic on the same day. In the past, you could only choose one of those. Also works at Epcot, as you reported. That makes things much, much better!

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Just in case it's a glitch I'd recommend not changing them again! Definitely interested to hear if people continue to be able to do this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Take screen shots. Kenny the Pirate posted about it on his blog and Facebook, so if it's a glitch, it's about to get fixed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kenny the Pirate posted about it on his blog and Facebook, so if it's a glitch, it's about to get fixed. From what I've heard, screen shots don't cut it with CM's. They make you pull up your reservations on the MDE App and show them. Screen shots only show what was reserved at the time you took the screen shot-what if you made changes after that? But, I still do take screen shots on the day of- just in case I can't pull up the app when needed. If I ever encounter that situation, and the CM still won't let me in, I will use that when I go to Guest Services to report that my experience did not meet my expectations.

LONE-STAR 370 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Does this mean you can have test track and sorian if so I might like FP+ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Does this mean you can have test track and sorian if so I might like FP+ While the glitch worked, yes. I think it's already been fixed. But, I now have two days of FP+'s reserved. One I have Test Track, Soarin', and Living with the Land on the same day. The other I have Toy Story, RNRC and Fantasmic. We will see if I actually am able to use those. If this would always be allowed, I would have less of a problem with FP+. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a similar situation, TT, Soarin and Maelstrom (I know!) on our Epcot day and RNRC, Toy Story and TOT on our HS day. I have screen shots but they are still listed on MDE so if I show them that they better let me use them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to print out the one from the computer. If I don't get to use those FP+'s, then I will wait in that long line at guest services and report it to one of those CM's in the plaid vests. I'm sure that will get me far! TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starbuc71 162 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 The glitch had been found. I tried all weekend in hopes of scoring a sorin and TT on the same day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GOBA Mom Lynn 18 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 OK, what about if you don't have a smart phone? (I know, I know, get with the technology old geezer, but hey, we're trying to save some money, here.) If I'd be in line, and then got refused, and then couldn't show the CM my info because I don't have a smart phone, I would be very pissed. Good thing we probably won't be going for another year or so. They should have all the issues straightened out by then, right? Or maybe they'll be back to paper fast passes....

The CM turned us away even with a screen shot for the Little Mermaid, my oldest was in tears. I was able to get MDE to work and went back not 5 minutes later and he then let us in.

If you don't have a smart phone, they want you to go and find a FP+ CM and take it up with them. Do they have a FP+ CM handy at the rides? No. You have to go and find one. I've seen them wandering around in the parks, and there's typically a bunch on hand at the FP kiosks. But let's say you were at Space Mountain when this happened. You would have to walk all the way over to Stitch to try to get someone to help you. The CM's at the scanners will just send you away. Just like what happened to Kelly in the post below. when we had issues in Oct & Dec I had my smart phone but MDE wouldn't load. The CM turned us away even with a screen shot for the Little Mermaid, my oldest was in tears. I was able to get MDE to work and went back not 5 minutes later and he then let us in. This is awful. Turning away a kid in tears. And the break-down was in their system. It's bad enough that you can only have three FP's per day. But then when their system screws up, they put it on you to resolve the issue. The sensors don't work a lot. I think we've had a problem at least once on each of our trips to a park since we got Magic Bands. With such a high failure rate, I am starting to think that the failures aren't really failures but are done intentionally so CM's can learn how to handle those situations. We are the guinea pigs. Who cares if a kid cries? They already have your money. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
