Cant schedule FP for March 16

[momfeez]

Anyone else having issues with scheduling FP for March 16? Calendar is showing today as still being February 13. Haven't had problems the past 2 nights.

Is the Magic Kingdom still open? I've had issues scheduling when the Magic Kingdom is still open past midnight.

 

[momfeez]

Can't tell....the regular calendar has adjusted itself to show that today is the 14th. I hate FP+......

MK is open until 1:00. You should be able to schedule FPs in a couple of minutes.

 

[momfeez]

done....I've never had this issue, even when it's been open past midnight. Good thing it was an AK day and we were planning on going after lunch. Still hate FP+.

MK's regular park closing is at 1:00 a.m. tomorrow so FP booking begins at 1:00 if you are booking for another day tomorrow night.

I just grabbed some for the 16th.

I happened to be up at midnight and tried, but couldn't.

Apparently this was an issue in December. Mesaboy's thread has upcoming dates where 1am windows will occur due to park hours. It will be this way through most of this weekend.

No, many people hate FP+ because of all the counterintuitive "secret handshakes" required to actually get what you want sometimes.

You might have known that little tidbit. And I might have known that little tidbit. But apparently the OP did not.

When someone stays up late to schedule something..... at the time they have been told they can schedule...... and find they need to lose another hour of sleep....... some find that to be unreasonable.

Mesaboy's thread is full of tips including when to hop on when the parks close at 1am. Today's date was included. No secret handshake required.

When was your last visit? You speak in hyperbole an awful lot that makes me think you have yet to try the system.

Because it exists in its current poorly executed form.

Plenty of average visitors don't read that specific thread on the DIS. LOTS of them I imagine.

I agree. It's a good reason to dislike FP.

I like fp + but I think a nice change would be to change the sign up time to noon rather than midnight.

Noon would be terrible for people who work and aren't free to spend time scheduling fp+'s. There's really not a great time that works for everyone. Personally, 5 am works for me- it's about the time I get up every morning- but I'm betting a lot of people wouldn't like that either.

 

[mesaboy2]

Sorry OP. I didn't bump the 1:00a thread before falling asleep last night. Expect the same for the next week or so.

Why can't the FP+ window open at MK park opening time instead of park closing? This is a small change that I don't think would inconvenience too many people. I know a lot won't agree, but I just don't understand the Midnight or 1 am ritual. I feel like there's a lot of people at Disney wwho are saying, " Ok, let's see if these fools will jump through these hoops"

I think they refer to that internally as "project Gepetto."

For Disney IT, more like "Mission: Impossible".
