If I am being stupid here please forgive me because in essence I do like the idea of FP+ and booking a slot without having to get there for RD. but ( now here is the dumb question ) it's regarding the 60 window and when it might start. is it the first day of your vacation for the whole of your vacation there after or as each day comes up to 60 days? Because if it's the first day of your vacation for the whole vacation then a family going for 2 weeks lets call them family A will they have a head start on a family vacation of one week call them family B if family B go the second week of family A's vacation as they could book their second week the week before...So family B going high season might log on all confused thinking where have all the fastpasses gone?
Am I being stupid? Probably...
I asked essentially the same question in another thread & I'm not sure I ever got a clear answer. (IF there IS a clear answer at this point)
If Family A vacations from the 1st-14th; and family B from the 8th-14th
Family A begins booking FP+ at 60 days prior to the 1st for ALL 14 days of their trip.
By the time Family B's FP+ booking becomes available, Family A has had a full week's "lead time" in scheduling FP+ for the same dates.
I am assuming at this point that this is where staggering the release of FP+ amounts & time slots comes into play, but really who knows? And being up against this, what chance does my family stand at getting FPs with a decent return time for E-ticket rides if we decide on Wednesday to spend the weekend at WDW using our APs?
