Yes as long as you have the pass numbers but they all have to be in the same park and you cant get regular fast pass until you have used all of them.
So if you book something at 8 pm and you finish up all your other rides at 10 am u cant get any regular line fast passes even though they may be tons available. So book everything before noon.
Also get the phone app, as you can modify on the go and get the undercover tourist free app to see real line times

Be careful with everyone linked together. We went when these things first came out and there were lots of problems. If one person made a change to their fast pass reservation, it changed everyone's. Made for some frustrating times.

how well does the app work in the parks with verizon?
All of the parks and resorts have wifi throughout now so it's not an issue of carrier anymore.

You can book your whole vacation on the 1st available day
They will give you various suggestions. Just click on one, and then go back and edit your times. Each fast pass will block out an hour before you can add a 2nd pass.
I booked the things I wanted to do 1st thing each morning. Then as they expire, I can use the Disney Experience phone app to add other things for later in that day

You have to link all the ressies before you can control them. Easier to just try to get others to book online at same time you do and coordinate picks.
You can add more fast passes at the park AfTER you use up your reserved fast passes so book them early in the day.

So tomorrow I have to book fast passes for a trip in Sept
Just an FYI, but technically you can book at midnight (eastern time) 60 days prior to your arrival. So, if tomorrow marks 60 days, you can actually book tonight at 11 pm (CST)
quote:
when I book the fast passes can I do it for everyone like the dining reservations or do they have to make their own.
Yes, you can book for everyone. Once you enter the FP section, the first thing it prompts you to do is to select who in your party (or everyone in your party) you want to make FP+ reservations for.

Also since its limited to 3 per day can we book mulitple passes (for the 8 of us) on separate accounts
There is kinda a loop hole, but you'd have to have seperate tickets, so in your case no. The tickets have to to be tied to a my disney experience account to book, FP+ so once you link the tickets to one account, they cannot be linked to another.

If you book them early enough once you use them.at the park you can add more
I cannot stress enough how bad of a strategy this is. Arrive for rope drop and do the headliners first thing in the morning with no/little wait and save your FP+ for lunch time or later as waits are considerable longer. Once you have used all of your FP+, then find a kiosk and see what mid tier attractions still have FP+ availability.
The shortest waits of the day are early in the morning, do not waste your FP+ then,

so i can only do Sep 18th tomorrow, then the 19th the next day, and so on?
No, you can book for the length of your stay as long as you have tickets linked to your account for the length of your stay

Works fine...but if you try to use wi-fi it will do alot of searching for wi-fi when you get a bad signal and will drain your battery so either bring an external charger or research where some of the charging stations are or turn off wi-fi use 3g and stay off twitter, facebook etc.
And to note, you cannot book additional same day FP+ from the app on your phone, it MUST be done at a kiosk. These are the ones you can book after you have used your third FP or it has expired

This crap has gotten out of control. It's ridiculous that you have to plan rides months in advance now.

Youre doing it wrong
Book Toy Story (or Thunder Mountain at MK) from 9a-10a. Get there early and go through the line. when you get off, use your FP to ride again. Now that FP is available to be rebooked, on any attraction that is easier to access like Star Tours, Indy, Motor stunt show, Fantasmic, etc
By that time you can move to Rock and Roller Coaster (or Splash Mountain at MK). If the lines are not long by 10am, you can do the same thing. 2 rides for the time of one!!
Who the frick cares what the lines are like during lunch? Because I'll be eating lunch, or taking a swim at the pool, or watching a show, or on the bus to another park, because I've locked down the rides that I absolutely wanted to ride and moved on

Do you even know what FP+ is?
You can't rebook any FP+ until you have either used your third FP or the time window has expired. So, the earliest you can add another FP+ would be about 11 am.
There are ways o adjust the tim windows of your 2nd and 3rd FP+, but it still won't save you THAT much time. The best you can hope for is a 9-10, 10-11 and an 11-12 window and be off of the third attraction by 11:05 and heading to a kiosk.
If you are there when the park opens at 8:45, there is no need for a FP+ for Toy Story, Thunder Mnt, Space Mt, Soarin, etc etc etc.
If you have the ability to use the single rider line at Test Track, Rock N Roller coaster it gives you even more flexibility.
The shortest waits are first thing in the morning. Wasting your FP+ during the least crowded time of the day is dumb.
