List of FastPass Plus Premium & non-premium attractions for each park

[Alpha Jeanie]

Can someone please provide me with a list of Fast Pass Plus, premium & non-premium attractions for each park? My 60 day mark is quickly approaching and I want to have some sort of game plan BEFORE I log onto My Disney Experience to make our fast pass selections for each park. I have searched and have not been able to find the appropriate list. Thanks for any help!

REPOST FROM ANOTHER SITE. Authored by mesaboy2:


A/B/C Ranking System

A - Using FP+ here will usually save the most time as compared to the attraction's average standby wait.
B - Using FP+ here will usually save some time as compared to the attraction's average standby wait.
C - Using FP+ here will usually save little time as compared to the attraction's average standby wait.

An asterisk (*) next to an A/B/C rank indicates this attraction offers FP+ only.

Attractions listed within the same priority class are in alphabetical order and not meant to suggest priority within the class.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Attractions With Scheduled Times

Reserved Area - Indicates an exclusive section for use by guests with FP+. This type of FP+ has moderate value in terms of saving time while securing preferred viewing.
Priority Access - Indicates guests with FP+ are allowed into the general show area before or at the same time (via a separate queue) as standby guests. This type of access has little value in terms of saving time or securing preferred viewing.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Parks With FP+ Tiering

In these parks (currently Epcot and Hollywood Studios), FP+ attractions are divided into two groups. Guests are able to make 1 selection from Group 1, and 2 selections from Group 2. This is ostensibly to spread crowds more evenly among all FP+ attractions. The list below uses the following scheme (applying to the attraction's name) to identify FP+ attractions in Group 1, Group 2, and those not currently selectable.
Attraction X - indicates a Group 1 attraction.
Attraction Y - indicates a Group 2 attraction.
Attraction Z - indicates an attraction not currently selectable in either group. It is unknown at this point if these attractions will return as an option in the future.

Additional Notes
- FP+ will generally save more time when crowds are heavier. Therefore, it makes the most sense to choose FP+ windows in the afternoon and early evening--when crowds are at their daily peak.
- For the same reason, when park-hopping the best strategy is often to make FP+ selections in the second (or third) park each day. (The FP+ system currently allows selections in a single park only on any one day.)

Special Note for Fantasmic Only
As of late October, WDW has changed the original Reserved Area to Priority Access. The priority of Fantasmic is downgraded to a C.

From what I have been reading using FP+ on fantasmic is a waste. I have not personally experienced it but I did change around my FP+ selections based on all the reviews from the wonderful people here on intercot! Just a little FYI that might help with your planning.

[Gregandmel]

What does it mean when you say if it has an * next to an attraction, that it is FP+ only? There are several with an * next to the letter. Thanks!

I think it means that it offers FP+ but doesn't/didn't offer regular FP. Quite a few attractions that didn't previously have a FP machine got added in for FP+.

The simple fact that Pirates and Nemo:The Musical has fastpass now makes me want to book a trip to anywhere else. It just seems like this is going to slow down my trip - not speed it up.

What makes Fantasmic FP+ a waste? I really am curious. In my opinion, anything that keeps me from waiting in that horrific line for hours is a good thing. Is it because there is no separate seating area or because of what you give up based on the tiered system of choosing the fastpasses?

[*NikkiJ*]

Having not experienced myself I don't know...but appears there still was some wasting of time and dealing with crowds and there was not any special seating as was it was originally suppose to be.

1- anything that keeps me from waiting in that horrific line for hours is a good thing.

2- Is it because there is no separate seating area or because of what you give up based on the tiered system of choosing the fastpasses?

Having not experienced myself I don't know...

3- but appears there still was some wasting of time and dealing with crowds and there was not any special seating as was it was originally suppose to be.

1- For the first (or only) F! performance of the evening, guests don't wait in a line "for hours" to see F! The CM's open the theater seating about an hour before show-time, guests file in and most of the waiting is done inside the theater while seated.

2- FP+ for F! offers virtually nothing for guests.
No reserved area, no speedy entry,
no guarantee of being seated if the show fills up.

3- Yup.

FP+ for F! is as close to being an out and out fraud as you can find at WDW.

All that, AND it uses up one of the precious 3 FP+ choices at DHS that day.
AND, it is in the TOP TIER for DHS. You only get to pick ONE of the
TOP TIER choices.

So...

If you are unlucky enough to pick FP+ for F!, you CAN'T get a FP+ for
Toy Story Midway Mania or
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster that day.

(Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage is the remaining TOP TIER FP+ at DHS.)

It is obvious that they have to tier both Hollywood Studios and Epcot because the limited number of A rides (us old-timers use to call these E-ticket rides. )

Hopefully after the complete roll-out of MM+, TDO will start to concentrate on getting more A rides at Epcot and Hollywood Studios.

I like your thinking!

[Keneva]

Thanks for laying out this info in one place. My previous strategy was to generally follow the Touringplans.com plans but I don't know if that will work any more with this new FP+ process...

[CaptSmee]

FP+ for Figment??? lolololol

[MickeysBestPal]

FP+ for Figment??? lolololol

It speaks volumes about the lack of respect Disney has for their guests.

Heck, just give 'em 3 "free" FP's...
ANY 3 "free" FP's.

What do THEY know...
They're TOURISTS! **

Character spot is in the top tier at Epcot? This is getting sillier all the time.

Have you seen the lines. For people with children this may be a good thing.
