The Animal Kingdom went Fastpass+ only just before the holidays, this happened at the Magic Kingdom in mid-January, and FastPass+ only is expected at Epcot January 23 and Hollywood Studios January 21.
All of my itineraries except this one (and this variant of it) are still framed around the old Fastpass system–sometimes called “Legacy Fastpass”–that is going, going, gone.
So over the next couple of days I’ll be publishing supplementary instructions for how to adapt my Autumn Winter Spring itinerary and its key variants to Fastpass+.
All dining stays the same–what changes is what you need to book ahead of time as Fastpass+ (or that day, if you are not a Disney resort hotel guest), and the sequence of things you do over the course of the day.
These Autumn Winter Spring itinerary variants cover now through the first full week of April. (See this.) By 60 days before April 12 (60 days ahead is when you can begin booking Fastpass+ if you are a Disney World hotel guest) I’ll also have out supplementary instructions for the Easter Week itineraries…
Plus there’s more all new itineraries, designed for Fastpass+ from the start, on the way! See this for an example aimed at the high-crowd summer 2014 weeks.
More to come tomorrow!! And for more on Fastpass+, see this.

So, even though MDE says I can’t make reservations until August 27th, do you think it’ll open up on the 26th? That’s my main concern.
Andresa, while Disney’s systems have some double-booking issues, most are related to rooms, not tix. You should be able to make reservations for the number of days you have tix for, regardless of how many tix it’s divided into–and beginning the first arrival day. Room Only doesn’t matter….
Follow-up question: I have 4 day tickets, but we will be upgrading to FL season passes when we arrive. Should I go ahead and change my tix to 5 day so that I can make fastpass+ reservations for our arrival night? Will that even be an option since it’s a split stay and a room room only on our first night?
My 60 days is coming up next week. MDE online says that I can begin booking Fastpass+ on August 27, and the mailer I got from Disney says I can book August 26. We’re doing a split stay to take advantage of free dining, so I think this is happening b/c my first night is “room only”. Any suggestions on how to clear this up?
