New Changes in FP+ system coming to AK on 12/18/13

December 13, 2013

It seems there are more changes coming in the FastPass+ system as WDW continues to test, and get the system closer to 100%.

Beginning on December 18th, all Animal Kingdom guests will be able to use Fastpass+ including those staying offsite.  During this test the regular FASTPASS paper system will not be available.

Non-Disney resort guests will not be able to make FastPass+ reservations ahead of time, or using My Disney Experience instead they will need to visit a FastPass+ kiosk in the parks to make the reservations on the day of their visit. MagicBands will not be available for non-resort guests, they will instead use their RFID enabled ticket media to access the FastPass+ kiosks and touch sensors.

Resort guests will continue to be able to make advance reservations using My Disney Experience. As with current testing, guests will be able to secure 3 FastPass+ reservations for that day.
