New FastPass + Changes have arrived

It is April 10th, and it seems Disney has indeed gone forward with the release of their new FastPass+ upgrades/changes. In an email from Disney this morning, they stated:

Starting April 10, 2016 you will notice the following enhancements to how you make FastPass+ selections:

You will now be able to choose individual FastPass+ experiences and times, and will no longer need to make all selections for the same day at the same time.
While you will continue to be able to select up to three experiences in advance, you now will be able to book fewer than three selections, if desired.
In addition, when you have used your first three FastPass+ selections, you will now be able to make an additional FastPass+ selection via the My Disney Experience mobile app, in addition to in-park kiosks. Once you’ve used the fourth, you will be able to select another, and so on.

One of the biggest changes for selections in Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom is that now when you select your guests and park you are brought to a screen where you can first select the time frame (morning, afternoon, evening), then a specific time for your choice.

Once you finalize your selection for the one ride, you can either stop there, or create your other 2 choices.

Hollywood Studios and Epcot are still using a tiered system where you can only pick one selection from Tier 1, but this is still a huge improvement over the old way.

Hollywood Studios Tier One consists of:

Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage
Fantasmic
Rockin Rollercoaster
The Great Movie Ride
Toy Story Midway Mania

Epcot Tier One consists of:

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth
Living with The Land
Mission Space
Soarin
Test Track

Also, don’t forget that once you’ve used your 3 fastpasses, you can now use the My Disney Experience App to make additional Fastpasses!

We’re excited for these new changes, and can’t wait to get to the parks to test the new system out!
