AP holder 60 day fp+ limit question

[tjmw2727]

Hope you experts can help! We are AP holders and visit several times a year and I thought I had the system down by now but just came upon an interesting scenario.

We have two long weekend trips planned within a 60 day time frame, 4 days early September and 5 days early October. The first trip was just put together this week to coincide with something else we have in FL but I couldn't make FP+ for myself or my dd past the 7 day limit despite having onsite reservations! I spoke with IT and they said the only time a resort stay overrides the 7 day limit is if it is one consecutive stay? Apparently she did an override (this once) so we could make FP+ but it concerns me.

This doesn't seem right to me, if true. Seems like punishing folks for visiting often and takes away a big benefit of staying onsite to AP holders. Not only can't we make 60+ fp plans but this was within the 30 day limit.

I am asking because we have a New Years trip planned and are considering going for Thanksgiving if the kids can get away. This will fall into the "two trips in 60 days" scenario as well so I have to either figure out the best way to book only 7 days or I may skip November all together.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

There was a thread just recently with someone having a similar problem. I don't think they ever found a resolution.

Are you staying onsite for both trips?

Thanks - let me read that! Yes we are onsite for 4 days early Sept and 5 days early October but limited to only 7 days of FP+ even though we are under 30 days.

If I'm remembering right, the OP in the other thread had the later trip booked onsite, but not the earlier trip. I'm surprised that with both of your trips booked onsite you would still be having the issue. The frustrating part is that different posters seem to be having different experience with this.

The OP of the thread that @mom2rtk linked, also has a thread regarding the policy concerns:

I also have a trip at the end of September and one at the beginning of November, and I am frustrated that I cannot take advantage of the window for the November trip until the end of my September trip due to the seven limit. I have two onsite stays.
