More on the Disney World Fastpass+ Test
By Dave Shute
Multiple people have reported on this disboards thread that they are getting Fastpass+ reservations well into October, and at many more resorts than those involved in the August test.
Moreover, this has also been confirmed by my friends at Destinations in Florida.
As a result, I’ve updated both What You Need to Know Now About Fastpass+ and Frequently Asked Questions about Fastpass+.
(And by the way, if you are looking at old posts anyway….it’s still not too late to give me a present for my birthday!)
So here’s the scoop, as reflected in more detail in those pages:
- The Fastpass+ test is going well into October–though, if your arrival date is more than 60 days away, you won’t be able to do anything until it hits 60 days.
- Disney World resort hotels in the Fastpass+ test include Animal Kingdom Lodge, Art of Animation, Beach Club, Contemporary, Pop Century, Polynesian, Port Orleans Riverside, and Pop Century.
As the Mysterious A had noted in What You Need to Know Now About Fastpass+, it seems like the model is that resorts in the test will continue in the test, and that more will be added over time!
This makes sense, as all the staff and systems at those hotels are up to speed on the new program…

Does contemporary include bay lake tower for testing? Also if we’re doing a split stay and starting in one of the test resorts, does that mean we can reserve fast passes for our entire stay?
Thanks!
Megan I have heard–but seen nothing official–that some BLT guests are part of the program, but that it’s not hotel-wide.
On the second question, no one is sure. People who begin a stay in a test resort have been able to book FP+ throughout their stay, but cast members have been telling some that the FP+ will disappear from the record at midnight on the day of check-out from the test resort…
Was this even remotely helpful? Then mosey on over to the home page, and like it on Facebook or pin it on Pinterest!
Do you think that the Wilderness Lodge will ever be included w/the fastpass + test? I’m going in Dec 2013 and this sure would be nice???? any rumors?? thanks.
Hi Rhonda! The rumor is that all resorts will be in by November. I wouldn’t bank on it, but it does give you hope!!

I’m back and forth with this…I want it, but I feel like it’s over-scheduling…What are your suggestions for using FastPass+ with a group of 7-, 4 adults, 2 toddlers, & a 6 yr old? If this answer is somewhere else on the site, I apologize.
Yeah, KE, I have mixed feelings too. This site focuses on older kids, so while I have suggestions here https://yourfirstvisit.net/2013/08/20/what-you-need-to-know-now-about-fastpass/ much may be tough rough for the 6 year old, and certainly for the toddlers…
