If all goes as planned, we’ll be releasing some new features for the site on Friday, 10/24. One that y’all might be interested in shows all of the currently available Fastpass+ times for all attractions, for an entire day:
Right now we’re getting information for a group size of 1, up to 30 days in advance. We’re working on different party sizes and up to 60 in advance.
In practice, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of difference between a party size of 1 and 4, for most attractions and times. So it’s a good, quick barometer of what’s available.
We’ve also got new Dashboard functions and a simplified Attractions page rolling out.
That looks great @Lentesta. I’m surprised to hear there is little difference between 1 and 4. I’d seen something similar on another site and when I pointed out that some of their info was wrong because they said none available when I could see some available, they indicated it was because they were searching for parties of 4 and I was looking at 2. Still wasn’t really buying what they were selling me.
It depends on the attraction. Anna and Elsa, yeah, there’s going to be a big difference. Pirates, not so much.
I’m really surprised at how Disney does their FP+ allocation. Like, if there are 3 spots available at 10:05 AM for Pirates, and you’re a group of 4, then Disney’s system doesn’t allow them to go 1 person over. Which is crazy, because Pirates’ capacity is like 2,800 people per hour. One extra person for every 5 minute slot is 12 extra people per hour - a rounding error on the ride’s overall capacity.
But in general, for most rides, yeah, it’s a decent ballpark.
