FastPass+ and MagicBand updates

Good news!  Disney has been listening to guest feedback on the FastPass+ system and they are implementing some changes.  

The first big change is that now off-site guests can pre-book their FastPass+ selections up to 30 days in advance of their trip.  Those guests staying on-site will still be able to book their FastPass+ selections up to 60 days in advance (with valid park admission attached to their MyDisneyExperience account.)  That still gives on-site resort guests a 30 day advance booking advantage over non-resort guests.  Off-site visitors will also have the option of purchasing a MagicBand if they desire to do so (purchase of a MagicBand is not necessary to use the FastPass service.)


The next change is that they are working on allowing guests to get additional FastPasses after they use their first 3.  As of right now you still cannot get more than 3 attraction FastPasses for a single day.  However once this is implemented, once you have used your 3 FastPasses for the day, you will be able to select another FastPass at one of the in-park Kiosks, and once you have used the 4th, you can then select another, and so on.    Disney is also working on a way to allow for using the FastPass with park hopping as well.  These changes are coming soon, so keep an eye out for updates on this.

FastPass+ has been met with mixed reactions from park guests.  That being said, I'm glad to see that they are listening to feedback and working on new options in response to that feedback.
