Booking window opens exactly when?

hi,
I'm based in the UK and my online check in and booking window opens at midnight 23rd Jan.
Does anyone know what time that means for the UK?
Cheers!

Whatever time midnight Eastern time (USA) that changes the date from the 22nd to the 23rd is when the window opens. Sorry, don't know right offhand what the time difference is from the UK to that. But that's when it would open for you.

OK - looked it up - the time difference from UK to Florida is 5 hours. So at 5am on the 23rd of January your window will open.

One note - on occasion the windows are not very prompt in opening. Sometimes one will open and not the other, or vice versa. There have been occasions when the window didn't open until 3-4 hours late.

Brilliant (not a brilliant time!), Thanks for the reply. Guess I'll be getting up early!

Is there something specific you are shooting for that requires you to be online the second the window opens? Palo/Remy? CC cabana?

Otherwise, I don't think you need to get up that early.

Was on the train at 06:30am (1.5 hours) after online check in began.
Positives:
Managed to get the last available time for a Palo sea day brunch and the last available time for BBB on formal day (17:15pm).
Also got Frozen Meet and Princess gathering for decent times.
Negatives:
Excursion wise, either of the 2 Tortola trips we wanted to do had sold out.
Forgot about PAT and didn't get round to that until 08:00 (3 hours after booking window opened), earliest I could then get was 11:30am. We're staying close to the port and have to leave the hotel at 11:00am so I guess this should work quite nicely!

Check back on the excursion periodically!
