Changing FP+ times

[LeslieG]

I have my 3 FP+ times set, but I wanted to change the order/times. Am I missing something, or do I have to cancel all three in order to do this? Because it won't make the times available I want because another FP I want to change already occupies that time. And there doesn't appear to be a way to check if the other times are even available, because it won't show up because of the other scheduled FPs. I hope that makes sense.

Workaround:
Change the times "drastically" (so that the times are nowhere near the actual times you want.)
That will eliminate the conflicts of times "too close" to schedule.
THEN, go back and change the order and times to what you DO want.

(The danger is, of course, you may not be able to get the times you want after you make the "drastic" changes.)

That's what I was going to do, but then I didn't know if I run the risk of losing the original FP time, not knowing until I do it if the times I want to change to are even going to be available. That's the frustrating part.

I lot will depend on what they are. If they are Mine Train or A&E, there is a good chance that the times you want are not available. And that if you do move them, what you had are snatched up.

You can probably get an idea of demand by just selecting a time change and seeing how many available slots their are now. If there are none or slim, they will probably be hard to rearrange.

Touring plans has a site that shows what FPs are available for given Parks / dates and times. I will say, It was not entirely accurate form my recent stay when trying to pick 4th / 5th FPs for the day.

You may choose to try this in the dead of night, like 3 AM EST to lower the chances that some one grabs what you gave up in case you need to swap back.

Before you risk losing FP for the attractions altogether, is there an easier adjustment you can make to dining times or whatever is causing you to have to change all the FPs? Especially during busy seasonal times, you may not get the attraction at all...

I think I'm just going to keep what I have at this point. It would be really nice if you could view the available times without having to change/potentially lose what you have.

I am going to a MVMCP, and I'm trying to fit three in between 4 and 7. I was able to get 7DMT, but it's 5:10 - 6:10, so based on that I can only get 2 FP+s to fit in that time frame.
