1 General Fast Pass+ Tips for every park Small World Big Fun Walt Disney World DO NOT MISS Attractions and Fast Pass + Tips 1. You will be relying heavily on the My Disney Experience app within the parks, and it is a huge drain on your battery! a. Think about changing the settings on your phone so that other features are not taking a toll on your battery. You will need wi fi, and location services is super helpful. You can turn off Bluetooth. b. There are charging stations located in the Magic Kingdom. However, we HIGHLY recommend that you take a cord/usb plug in for charging. Even better, get a Mophie or another kind of portable battery to use. To find out where the charging stations are located, check the maps feature on your My Disney Experience app, or ask a Cast member. 2. Disney Resort Guests can make Fast Pass + selections at 7:00 am EST 60 days in advance. We HIGHLY recommend that you take advantage of this and make your selections as soon as possible. This means that if you are in the Central Time Zone, you can make your Fast Pass reservations at 6:00 am. 3. Remember, Fast Pass+ reservations can be modified from your My Disney Experience app. You can change both the attraction AND the time. If you have difficulty with this, you can visit one of the Fast Pass + kiosks located throughout each park. The kiosks are staffed by Disney Cast Members who can answer questions or give assistance.
