Can't book sameday FP even after using 1st one??

[MickeyMinnieMom]

Trying now to book a sameday FP after using our 1st pre-booked one. We're even past the entire window of that first FP. Tried MDE on my phone and a kiosk. No luck.

Has something changed, or is this a glitch?

Will try guest services later but thought I'd check with the experts!!

Thanks!!

Did you only have 1 or 2 pre-booked FPs?

You need to use (tap in for) all 3 before you can book 4th.

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

I only had two pre-booked... odd...

 

[hiroMYhero]

In a Tiered Park?

Is the system not giving you any options at all?

Are you trying for the same park? Your third would have to be in same park. Only our 4th was allowed to be in different park...

The 3rd can be in a different park as FP booking has been optimized for park hopping.

Didn't work for us that way, maybe glitch. Even booking 60 days out, I had to make all 3 in same park. Oh well, maybe next time!

60 days out all 3 have to be for the same park. If less than 3 are booked, the remaining FPs can be booked for any other park and any Tier.

See the FP FAQ ADDENDUM where park hopping tips are listed.

Farro, booking the third in a different park can be done on the day of, but not in advance. Once you tap in for the first of the day, I think that opens up the option for booking your third in a different park. (This, of course, does not explain MickeyMinnieMom's problem. Maybe James Cameron has hacked her account?)
(And Farro, I always look forward to seeing what you're going to do next with your profile photo.)

Dang, what rock have I been living under? Didn’t know the above!

Always stuff to learn when it comes to WDW.

Thanks guys! Maybe a glitch, then!

This new photo is my favorite from our trip - patiently waiting for Halloween parade! Will be the same for a while, not going back for a few years!

Not in my experience.

Probably. @rteetz had no problems booking 3 per park when his window opened this morning.

 

[hiroMYhero]

Not in my experience.

How long ago did you notice this? It’s been working for others who follow the steps for park hopping in the Addendum.

I tried it a few months ago on my last trip. I wasn’t allowed to change 3rd fp to different park after 1st was used. Yes, we had parkhopper tickets.

Thanks! I wrote the steps in that section and others check on it every so often.

You Canceled FP#3 and then selected a new park and it wouldn’t allow the booking?

I can verify being able to book FP+ in another park on the same day if you have booked less than 3FP+ in the first park

Yesterday I had 2FP+ booked at Hollywood Studio - our intention was always to go to a different park in the evening, so I left the 3rd FP+ open when planning

Used the first FP+ at ToT
Had a 2nd FP+ booked for TSMM - however, after visiting Tune-In Lounge we decided to skip since we had ridden it twice at park opening
On the way back to the resort I booked a FP+ for FEA at Epcot for later at night (thank you whoever dropped that)
Then I cancelled the TSMM I had booked since the time window was still open
Then added another FP+ for a Tier 2 ride at Epcot

Thank you for reporting in!

Definitely must be a glitch today because I know it has worked for MickeyMinnieMom in the past.
