While the thought of this happening seems like a downer,\u00a0\u00a0the good news is Disney has an effortless plan in place when this happens.<\/p>\n<p>On my last trip to the World I had the experience of this occurrence happening a few times.\u00a0 Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had officially been open less than a week and, as with many new attractions, was experiencing technical difficulties.\u00a0\u00a0 I had a Fast Pass+ return time of 9:30 a.m. &#8211; 10:30 a.m. and scanned my MagicBand at the first Mickey reader.\u00a0 Upon making my way down the queue I noticed the train was\u00a0stuck on the track and cast members began turning guests away.<\/p>\n<p>Almost immediately, I received an email from Disney via My Disney Experience notifying me the ride was unavailable during my FastPass+ return time. The email stated the FastPass could still be used anytime that day for the same attraction when it came online again.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t have to do anything.\u00a0 In my case, I enjoyed other areas of the park while checking the My Disney Experience App to see when the train was running again.\u00a0 I simply returned and scanned the MagicBand again and was admitted.<\/p>\n<p>Alternately, if you don&#8217;t wish to experience the same attraction you had the FastPass+ for, the email lists other attractions you can use it at\u00a0instead.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-34170 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/FastPass+-266x400.png\" alt=\"FastPass+\" width=\"266\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/FastPass+-266x400.png 266w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/FastPass+.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As you can see My Disney Experience now shows &#8220;Choice of Experiences&#8221; instead of my originally scheduled\u00a0Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.\u00a0 So, if I wished to choose another attraction from the list instead of waiting for Mine Train, I had that option too.\u00a0 Again, no action is needed.\u00a0 Simply show up at the alternate\u00a0attraction and scan your MagicBand and you&#8217;re good to go!<\/p>\n<p>I also asked a cast member what would happen if the attraction closure happened at the end of the day.\u00a0 She said if that situation should arise you would be given another FastPass+ selection good for any FastPass+ attraction at any park the following day.<\/p>\n<p>Chances are most guests won&#8217;t experience this, but if the situation does arise it&#8217;s good to know that Disney has a great system in place and it won&#8217;t put a damper on your day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Preparing for a trip to Walt Disney World can require a lot of pre-planning.\u00a0 In addition to making advanced dining reservations, we now have the ability to book 3 FastPass+ attractions per day prior to our trip.\u00a0 As hard as we try to have all our plans in place ahead of time, sometimes&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":34171,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1695],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-theme-parks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/63"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34169"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34169\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":66507,"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34169\/revisions\/66507"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
